PREFACE. 



In preparing the Centennial Gazetteer, the author has endeavored to pre^e^.^ to 
his readers the latest geographical and statistical information relating to the United 
States, in a compact and convenient form. ^ _ 

The book contains descriptive articles on the states and territories; the counties 
and townships ; the cities, villages and post-offices, and tl.e principal mountains rivers 
and lakes. As these articles are alphabetically arranged, reference to any of them is 
easv and the reader can readily obtain the information he may be m search of. 

The sources from which the materials of the Gazetteer have been drawn were 
numerous and ample, and have been furnished by the various authorities the chiefs 
of bureaus of the general government and the secretaries of the diflFerent states) with 
great liberality, for which the author would herewith tender his sincere thanks. To 
enumerate all the documents, reports and other works which have been consulted 
and used would far exceed the limits of this preface. The most important only can 
be indicated here. Such are the State Geological RepoHs and the reports of explorations 
west of the Mississippi River. These documents furnished the materials necessary 
for the description of the surface structure and the soil of the states, territories and 

'"^Thrremarks on the climate of the United States and the several states have been 
drawn chiefly from the large meteorological publications of the Smithsonian Institu- 
tion and the excellent charts inserted in the third volume of the Ninth Census Report. 

Particular attention has been given to the subject oi staii^cs. These have been 
derived from the Report of the Ninth Census, the reports of the Chief of the Bureau 
of Statistics, in Washington, and numerous other sources. Where not otherwise in- 
dicated, the figures are mostly those of the census. Older statistics have been largely 
introduced for the purpose of enabling the reader to institute comparisons and to trace 
the more or less rapid progress of a state, city or county. 

The railroad staiistics have been taken from H. V. Poor's Railroad Manual, and the 
American Railway Manual by Edward Vernon. . 

Several of the state and territorial governments (as Washington, Utah, Arkansas 
South Carolina, etc.,) have published treatises on their natural resources, etc., designed 
to guide emigrants in the selection of new homes. These have been made use of as 
far as the information given appeared reliable. 

The Zoc«(ion of cities and villages has been described from the large postal maps 
published by the Post-office Department at Washington, from railroad guides and all 



iv PREFACE. 

other available sources, and, it is hoped, will be found correct, so that the Gazetteer 
may serve as a shipping guide for all places of the slightest importance. It will be 
found a complete post-office directory at the time of its publication. 

The author deems the present a v^y favorable time for the publication of a new 
gazetteer. Thebooks of this description heretofore published were compiled previous 
to the civil war, since which period the country has undergone very great political 
and social changes, aside from its normal progress in wealth, population and industrial 
activity. Hence they are antiquated and of historical rather than practical value. 

The ninth census, taken in 1870, and published a short time ago, proves to be far 
superior to and more reliable than any of its predecessors — thanks to the labors and 
critical discussions of its able chief, General Francis A. Walker — and in all probability 
will be the last that will be taken before the close of the first century of our national 
existence. It seemed desirable that the results of this great work should be rendered 
more accessible than is possible through the distribution of the official volumes alone. 

It is the opinion of many that we live in a period of transition, and that a new 
historic era is at hand, well into the midst of which we may find ourselves with the 
successful solution of such problems as now press the statesman and economist on all 
sides. "With reorganized social, political and industrial conditions in the southern 
states, with the return of capital from speculative enterprise, with a more elastic and 
equally distributed currency, and with a rejuvenation of our general political life, we 
shall have already entered the new historic period. It is more than probable there- 
fore that the Centennial Gazetteer will be the very last work of its kind issued 
during this period of transition, or required for years to come ; and it is hoped that^ 
as it will be found to fairly represent the country in its material development, past 
and present, it will have both historic and practical value. 

In conclusion, the author would render thanks to James P. Boyd, Esq., of Philadel- 
phia, for his able assistance and thoughtful co-operation, through which many an 
error of statement or omission of fact has been corrected.

THE 



UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 



THE FNITEI) STATES OF AMERICA includes witliin its boundaries the central portlou 
of the North American continent, less than two hundred years ago a comparative wilderness, 
and covers aa area extending from the British Possessions on the north to the Gulf and tho 
Republic of Mexico on the south, being situated between 25° 7' and 49° North latitude, and 
between 66° 58i^' and 124° 43' longitude West of Greenwich. The eastern coast, 2,163 miles long, 
Is washed by the Atlantic Oce.in ; the western coast, 1,343 miles long, by the Pacific Ocean ; and 
the southern coast, 1,764 miles long, by the Gulf of Mexico. 

The greatest breadth of this area, from the mouth of the St. Croix River in Maine to Cape 
Flattery in Oregon, is 4,316,166 meters, or 2,744 miles, and the greatest length, from the 49th par- 
allel to the mouth of the Rio Grande, ia 2,556,219 meters, or 1,588 miles. 

The total area, excluding Alaska territory, is 3,026,494 square miles, and including Alaska 
3,603,884 square miles ; a surface extent surpassed only by that of three great states, the British 
Empire with all its dependencies and colonies, the Chinese Empire, and the Russian Empire. 

1. BOVIfDABIES. 

The northern boundary begins at the mouth of the St. Croix river, in Passamaquoddy Bay, 
follows this river through Grand Lake to its source, and thence goes due north till it strikes the 
St. John river. It then follows the St. John and the St. Francis rivers to the outlet of Lake 
Pohenagamook, whence it strikes S. W. to a point on the North Branch of the St. John, 10 miles 
from the maiu branch. From this point it extends S. 10° W. to the intersection of the 8. W 
Branch of the St. John river and the parallel of 46° 25' N. latitude, follows this river to it3 
source, thence the Height of Land dividing the affluents of the St. Lawrence I'iver from those^ 
of the Atlantic ocean, to the source of Hall's Stream, a tributary of the Connecticut, following 
this stream to the 45th parallel, which becomes the boundary until it strikes the St. Lawrence 
river near the village of St. Regis. Thence it passes through the middle of the St. Lawrence, 
Lake Ontario, Niagara River, Lake Erie, Detroit River, St. Clair Lake and River, Lake Huron, 
and Lake Superior, to the mouth of Pigeon River. It ascends Pigeon River, crosses the Fowl 
Lakes and the Lake of the Woods to its north-western extremity in 49° 23' 55" N. latitude and 95° 
14' 38" W. longitude, where it turns due south to the 49tb parallel, and follows this parallel to the 
Canal de Haro, which separates Vancouver Island from the continent and the San Juan Islands. 

The southern boundary follows the deepest channel of the Rio Grande del Norte to 32° N. lati- 
tude, thence runs due west to 108° 30' W. longitude,' thence south to 31° 30' N. latitude, thence 
again west to 111° W. longitude, thence W. N. W. to the Colorado river, below the mouth of the 
Gila river. From this point it runs to the Pacific coast, opposite the Coronados Island. 

The western, or Pacific coast, forms a simple curve and extends from the Straits of Juan de 
Fuca to Lower California. It is mostly high and rocky and has but one indentation of consider- 
able magnitude, the Bay of San Francisco. 

The eastern, or the Atlantic coast, trends from N. E. to S. W., and consists of three shallow 
curves. The first of these extends from Passamaquoddy Bay to Cape Cod, and is indented by 
Massachusetts Bay ; the second extending from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras, by New York, Dela- 
ware, and Chesapeake bays ; and the third, extending from Cape Hatteras to Florida, by 
numerous sounds or inlets, separating low alluvial islands from the main lands. 

The southern, or Gulf coast, extends from Cape Sable, the extremity of Florida, to the mouth 
of the Rio Grande, and in character resembles the Atlantic coast, being low and level. It is 
indented by a series of extensive lagoons and baj's, as the Laguua Madre, Corpus Christi, Mata- 
gorda and Galveston bays, in Texas ; Vermilion, Atehafalaya, Terrebonne, and Timbalier bays, 
in Louisiana, the Bay of Mobile in Alabama, and Pensacola, Tampa, and other bays in Florida.

8 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

II. SURFACE. 

The surface structure of the United States, the great central portion of the Noitn American 
continent, is in the general arrangement of its prominent features compai-atively simple. It 
consists ol three distinct, -well-defined regions or belts, which may he designated as the Eastern 
Central and "Western Divisions. 

1. The Eastern Division comprises the broad mountain belt of the Appalachian system, 
together with the low plain which extends along the sea-coast and gently ascends to the base of 
the mountains. This plain varies greatly in width. In New England it measures on an average 
about .'JO miles, is much narrower in New York and New Jersey, but farther south expands till 
it attains a width of over 200 miles in North and South Carolina. South of New Jersey and Penn- 
Bjivania it consists of two portions. The eastern is low, level, and in the main sandy ; while the 
western is undulating, or broken, and in some parts considerably diversified by chains of hills. 
The former is called the Tide Water Section ; the latter may be termed the Piedmont District, a 
name in common use in Virginia. The Appalachian Mountains form a belt about 100 miles wide and 
1,300 miles long, and cover an area of nearly 12,5,000 square miles. They extend from the Canadian 
Province of New Brunswick to Northern Georgia and Alabama, where the last chains sink down 
to the nearly horizontal plain. They are composed of a large number of nearly parallel chains, 
remarkably uniform over long distances in direction and height. The valleys inclosed within 
these numerous chains, and tlie gently sloping mountain sides, ofierto the settler every possible 
advantage of soil, water, and vegetation. The western base of the Appalachians is bordered by 
a broad, slightly elevated table-land, intersected by the numerous water-courses which rise 
among the mountains and finally join the Mississippi. This table-land extends over western 
New "i'ork, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, the largest portion of Ohio, the south-eastern counties 
of Indiana, nearly all of Kentucky and Tennessee, and a large part of Alabama. 

2. Tlie Western Division comprises the larger portion of tliat great mass of mountain 
ranges and table-lands known as tlie North American Cordilleras, which accompany the Pacific 
coast of the continent from the Isthmus of Panama to the shores of the Arctic Ocean. "Within the 
United States the Cordilleras occupy the space between the 105th meridian W. of Greenwich, and 
the western coast. Their eastern border is formed by the Rocky Mountains, their Avestern by 
the lofty chain of the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade moujitains ; while the Coast Ranges of 
California, Oregon and Washington are the outlying spurs and projections of the vast system, 
and abut with bold promontories and ridges upon the Pacific coast. Numerous broken and de- 
tached ranges occupy the wide space between the lofty border chains, and receive distinctive 
names as they become known to the explorer and the settler. 

The Rocky Mountains do not form a single continuous ridge, as the common maps of Colton, 
Mitchell, and others invariably represent them ; but consist of two or more ranges, which inclose 
the highest portion of the continental plateau, and are connected by traverse ridges at irregu- 
lar distances. These latter cut up the plateau into a succession of isolated plateaus, or " Parks," 
shut in on all sides by elevated mountains. Secondary ranges radiate from the principal chains, 
and jut out into the plains which form the base of the Rocky Mountains along their whole ex- 
tent. The southern terminus of the Rocky Mountains is between the Rio Grande and Pecos 
rivers, in western Texas, in about 30° N. lat. From this point they trend N. W. to 32° N. lat., then 
change their goi\eral dii-ection to due N., traversing New Mexico, Colorado, and soutlicrn Wyo- 
ming, and sink down into that remarkable gap, through which the Sweet Water and the North 
Platte rivers flow from W. to E., and the western portion of which is called the South Pass. North 
of this depression the Rocky Mountains trend N. W. through Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. 
Their western chain forms the boundary between the two last named territories. For a moi'e 
detailed description of the different sections of this mountain system, see the articles on New 
Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. 

The Rocky Mountains form the great divide between the western tributaries of the Mls.«issippl 
and the largo streams that empty into the Pacific Ocean. They are the culminating region, or 
apex— so to speak — of the continent, and have a mean elevation of more than 10,000 feet, while 
their highest peaks exceed 14,000 feet. Of these the following are the best known: Fremont's 
Peak in Wyoming (13,570 feet) ; Long's Peak in Colorado (14,050 feet) ; Mt. Audubon, W. of Long's 
Peak and near it (13,4.53 feet)-; Parry's Peak, 8 or 9 miles S. of the 40th parallel (13,133 feet); 
Gray's Peak, G miles W. of Denver (14,145 feet) ; Mt. Guyot, 25 miles N. of the 30th parallel (13,2-23 
feet) ; Mt. Silverheels, S. W. of Mt. Guyot (13,6.50 feet) ; Mt. Lincoln, a few miles N. Vt. of Mt. 
Silverheels (14,123 feet) ; Horseshoe Mount, about 8 miles S. E. of Mt. Lincoln (13,803 feet) ; Pike's 
Peak (14,218 feet) ; Mt. Yale, 12 to 14 miles S. of the 39th parallel and W. of the Arkansas river, 
(14,078 feet) ; Mt. Harvard, 5 miles N. W. of Mt. Y.ale (14,270 feet). 

The great mountain I'ange which forms the western edge of the Coi'dilleras is called in Califor- 
nia the Sierra Nevada or Sno^-y Range; in Oregon and Washington, the Cascade Mouulains. 
This range conforms very nearly to the general direction of the coast, from which its crest varies

in Oislance from 150 to 170 miles. The Sierra Nevada extends from the Tejon Pass in the S., to 
Mt. Sliasta in tlie N. W., a distance of 550 miles. The eastern slope, which does not exceed 10 miles 
in width, is bold and abrupt ; its wastern, about 60 miles wide, sinks gently down to the broad 
valley ot the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers. The southern portion consists of thi-ee higli 
crests, which inclose between them the valleys of the two branches of Kern River. From lat. 
36° to Lassen's Peak in 40° 30', the Sierra has but one crest, and from Lassen's Peak to Mt. Shasta 
it expands into an elevated volcanic plateau, the eastern edge of which is known as Warner's 
Range. The average height of the Sierra is nearly the same as that of tlie Rocky Mountains, 
but it is not so uniform. Tlie southern portion is 'iy far the loftiest, and from 36° 30' lat. the 
height of the dominating peaks, as of the passes, decreases as we go northward; the former from 
15,000 feet to 8,100 feet ; and the latter, froml2,000 feet to .5,100 feet. Mt. Whitney, situated near the 
head-waters of Kern River, is the loftiest peak thus far known, and is estimated at from 15,000 to 
15,300 feet above the sea-level; Mt. Tyndall is 13,386 feet; Mt. Brewer, 13,886 feet; Mt. Lyell, 13,217 
feet ; Mt. Dana, 13,2-27 feet ; Mt. Hoffman, 10,872 feet ; Silver Mountain, 10,935 feet ; Pyramid Peak 
about 10,600 feet ; the Downieville Buttes, 8,400 feet ; Mt. Oujumi, 8,378 feet ; and Mt. Shasta, 14,410 
feet. The Cascade Mountains trencl due K. from Mt. Shasta through Oregon and Washington, and 
form the prolongation of the Sierra Nevada, which they resemble in general character, al the agh 
their average elevation is considerably less. Thej* are cut through by the transverse valley of 
Columbia River. The highest peaks are Diamond Peak, Mt. Hood (11,225 feet ; Mt. St. Helens and 
Mt. Adams (both from 9,000 to 10,000 feet) ; Mt. Reinier (14,444 feet) ; and Mt. Baker (10,719 feet). 

The vast region which separates the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Mountains from the Rocky 
Mountains is a high table-land with numerous broken and partially detached superincumbent 
mountains separated by plains and valleys. " The traveler," saj'S J. D. Whitney, " crossing this 
plateau will thread his way through narrow defiles, wind around innumerable spurs and ridges, 
traverse narrow valleys and occasional broad plains ; the former sometimes green and attractive ; 
the latter always arid and repulsive to the last degree ; he will never descend below 4,00p feet 
above the sea-level, and will never be ovit of sight of mountains ; these will always environ him 
with thinly wooded flanks and sterile and craggy summits, often glistening with great patches of 
snow which gradually lessen as the summer advances. In the distance these mountain ranges 
behind their atmosphere of purple haze will seem massive and uniform in character ; as he 
approaches one he will find it presenting some new charm of hidden valley or canyon, deeply 
countersunk into the mountain side. As he rises still higher he will ciuench his thirst at the 
refreshing spring of pure water, fed by the melting snow above, while the grandeur of the rocky 
masses, the purity of the air, the solitariness of the almost infinite extent of the panorama 
opened before him when he fairly reaches the summit, will leave upon his mind an ineffaceable 
impression of the peculiar features of our western mountain scenery." 

The most important of these ranges is that of the Wahsatch Mountains, which passes through 
central Utah, from N. to S., as a broad belt of highlands of nearly the elevation of the Rocky 
Mountains, and terminates near the banks of the Colorado river, in the N. W. corner of Arizona. 
The Uintah Mountains branch off from the Wahsatch toward the E., and are separated from the 
spurs of the Rocky Mountains by the narrow defile of the Colorado. To the N. of the Uintah 
Mountains, and bordered by the Rocky and Wahsatch mountains, is the high basin of the Upper 
Colorado, which the Union Pacific railroad traverses from K. to W. A lower terrace, the basin 
of the middle Colorado, lies south of the Uintahs and extends to the table-land of the White Mesa, 
Avliich stretches from the Rocky Mountains westward to the southern extremity of the Wahsatch 
range. The Colorado breaks through the Mesa, forming those famous canyons which in their 
stupendous grandeur rank with the most impressive features of the earth. Still farther S. are the 
massive MogoUon Mountains, and the numerous other chains of Arizona, which all trend N. W. 
and S. E. 

The region which is bordered on the E. by the Wahsatch Mountains and the northern portion 
of the Rocky Mountains, and on the W. by the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Mountains, is 
properly termed the "Great Basin." It varies in width from 200 to 450 miles. The numerous 
isolated mountains which occupy it have a general noith and south trend, and are usually very 
narrow, not often exceeding 8 or 10 miles in width. The most iinportant of these are the East 
Humboldt Mountains, 75 miles from the Utah line ; the West Humboldt Mountains, 100 miles east 
of California ; and the Toyabe Mountains, nearly intermediate between the two, and flanking the 
Reese River Valley on the east. Several peaks of the Toyabe and the East Humboldt ranges 
have an altitude of from 10,000 to 12,000 feet. North of the Humboldt river, which intersects 
the central part of the Great Basin from E. to W., the mountains assume a different character 
from those heretofore described, and are not arranged in parallel ridges, but radiate in var- 
ious directions from central nuclei. Such are the Salmon River Mountains of Idaho, and the 
Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon, separated from each other by the middle course of Snake 
River. Eastern Washington consists chiefly of the Columbia River Plain, which in elevation 
hardly exceeds 2,000 feet. There are three main depressions within this region ; one at the base

cf the Sierra, at a level of about 3,850 feet above the sea, receiving the drainage of northern Nevada 
aud the eastern slope of the Sierra ; the second, the " (ireat Salt Lake Basin," about 4/250 feet higU 
near the western basis of the Walisatch Mountains ; and the tliird, ' ' Dead Valley," in south-east- 
em California, which is several hundred feet below the level of the sea. 

3. The Central Division is commonlj^ called the Mississippi Valley, and extends from the 
Appalachian Mountain system in the E. to the Rocky Mountains in the W. It is an immense 
plain, comprising an area of '2,455,000 sciuare miles, and extending through 30 degrees of longitude 
aud 23 degrees of latitude. On tlie N. it is bounded by the Height of Land, a broad table-land less 
tlian 2,000 feet above the sea, which sepai'ates it from the valley of the Red river of the North, an 
affluent of Lake VVinnepeg, in British America. TJie lowest portion of the Mississippi Valley is 
the alluvial bottom or flood-ground of the great river, which extends from the mouth of the Ohio 
river to tlie Gulf of Mexico. This bottom varies in width from 30 to 70 miles, and is liable to inun- 
dation. Large portions of it are covered witli swamps and nearly impenetrable forests. On both 
sides it is bounded by " bluffs," which are the margins of the liigher ground, and often rise 150 or 
200 feet above high- water level. In a few instances they approach the river, as at the Iron Banks, 
near Columbus, and the Chalk Banks, near Hickman, Ky. ; at Fulton, Randolph, and Memphis 
Tenn.; at Vicksburg, Grand and Petit Gulf, Natchez and Fort Adams, Miss.; and at Francisville and 
Baton Rouge, La. From the bluffs the country rises imperceptibly toward the east and west 
forming gently inclined planes, through which the tributaries of the parent stream have cut deep 
valleys. A belt of hills and uplands— the Ozark Mountains, about 2,000 feet high— rises on the 
western plain and occupies portions of the Indian Territory, Arkansas, and Missouri. The higher 
portions of this plane, extending aloug the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, are known as 
the Great riaius, 

III. RIVERS AND I.AKES. 

The rivers of the United States belong to three sj'stcms, corresponding to the three great physi- 
cal divisions we have just described. The first embraces the rivers which empty into the Atlan- 
tic ; the second those which empty into the Pacific ; and the third those which empty into the 
Gulf of Mexico. 

1. The largest stream entering the Atlantic is the St. Lawrence. Its course intersects the Do- 
minion of Canada ; but it also belongs to the United States, for it forms the boundary of the state 
of New York, and drains the Great Lakes, which receive numerous affluents from the north-cen- 
tral states. The 81. Lawrence, although not the longest, is the greatest river of the world, sur- 
passing all others in the volume of water which it discharges into the ocean. Its head stream is 
St. Louis River, which rises in the Height of Land, fiows through north-eastern Minnesota, and 
empties into the western extremity of Lake Superior. This lake, as well as the others of the series 
—Michigan, Huron, St. Clair, Erie, and Ontario— must be regarded as expansions of the St. Laiu- 
rence; and viewed in this light, the Sainte Marie, St. Clair, Detroit, and Niagara rivers are but 
different portions of the same great stream. The entire length, from the source of the St. Louis 
to the Old/ 0/ St. Lawrence, is upward of 2,000 miles, and the general direction of its course to the 
head of Lake Erie is S. E. ; thence to the mouth, N. E. The principal tributaries are : Fox River, 
which I'ises in Southern Wisconsin, flows N. E., and empties into Green Bay; the Oconto, Pesh- 
tiffo, and Menomonee rivers, also emptying into Green Bay ; t\\e Manistee, Notepseacon, Muskeagoii, 
Grand, Kalamazoo, anil St. Joseph rivers, which empty into Lake Michigan ; the Au Sable and 
Saginaw rivers, which empty into Lake Huron ; the Maumee, which is formed by the confluence 
of the St. Joseph and St. Mary at Fort Wayne, and empties into Lake Erie. This lake further 
receives the Sandusky, Rock, Cuyahoga, and Grand rivers, which traverse Northern Ohio. Lake 
Ontario receives the Genesee and the Oswego, which is the outlet of the lakes in Central New 
York ; the Crooked, Seneca, Cayuga, Owasco, Skeneateles, and Oneida. The Black River rises in the 
Adirondack Mountains, and empties into the eastern extremity of Lake Ontario. The St. Law- 
rence proper receives the Osivegatchie, Racket, and Richelieu rivers, the last-named being the 
outlet of Lakes Champlain and George. 

The principal New England rivers .are : the St. Croix, which, forming the eastern boundary of 
Maine, rises in Grand Lake, 382^^ feet above the sea, and empties into Pass.amaquoddy Ray ; the 
Penobscot, which drains the Chesuncook and Pamadumcook Lakes, receives the Seboois and the 
Mattaioamkeag, and empties into Penobscot Bay ; the Kennebec, which drains Moosehead T^ke, and 
receives the Androscoggin ; the Merrimac, which is formed by the confluence of the Pemigewasset 
with the Winnipiseogee, the outlet of the lake of the same name : and the Connecticut, which rises 
In the Height of Land, near the boundary of Vermont, in two branches (the western of which is 
called Hairs Stream), flows nearly ilue south as far as Middleto wn, Conn., where it turns S. E., and 
empties into Long Island Sound. Owing to the configuration of the country, the rivers of New 
England are not navigable far inland. 

The Hudson, the largest river of Now York, rises in the Adirondacks, receives the Sacondago 
and the Mohawk rivers, and empties into New York Bay. It is a magniflcent stream, approach-

Ing, if not surpassing, in picturesque scenery, the celebrated Rhine. The Delaware rises in two 
branches in Kew York, and flowing south forms the boundary between Pennsylvania and New 
Jersey. Its principal tributaries are the Lehigh and Schuylkill rivers. The Susquehanna is formed 
by the confluence of the West and East branches, flows through Pennsylvania, receives the 
Juniata, and empties into the liead of Chesapeake Bay. This bay also receives the Potomac, the 
Rappahannock, and the James, the largest stream of Virginia. The Roanoke River is formed by 
the Staunton and the Dan, which unite near the southern boundary of Virginia. It empties into 
Albemarle Sound. The Neuse River empties into Pamlico Sound. Cape Fear River is formed by 
the Deep and Haw rivers, flows through southern North Carolina, and empties near Cape Pear. 
The Yadkin River and the Suntee River, which is formed by the Waleree and the Congaree rivei-s. 
are the principal streams of South Carolina. Savannah River, which marks the boundary 
between South Carolina and Georgia, is formed by the Tugaloo and Kiowa rivers, and empties 
below the city of Savannah. Steamboats ascend as far as Augusta, Ga. The AUamaha River is 
formed by the Oconee and Oomulgee rivers. The St. John's River, of Florida, rises in one of the 
vast swamps so common in that region, flows north, and turning east, empties into the oceaD. 
The principal rivers enumerated are navigable throughout the tide- water portion. 

2. The largest river that empties into the Pacific Ocean is the Colmnbia. It rises in a small 
lake near the western base of the Rocky Mountains, and at first flows N. N. "\V. along this range, 
as far as the foot of Mount Hooker, where it turns VV. and then S. In this northerly portion 
of its course it forms the Upper, Middle, and Lower Arrow lakes. Shortly after crossing the 
southern bounday of British Columbia and entering Washington Territory, it is joined by the 
Clark Fork, continues its southerly direction, and in about 4S° N. lat. turiis westward, sweeping 
La a wide but tortuous curve around the great Columbia Plain. In 46° N. lat and 117° long. W. 
of Greenwich, it receives its largest tributary. Snake River, and assumes a westward course 
to the ocean, forming the boundary between Washington Territory and Oregon. In passing 
through a gap of the Cascade Mountains it forms a series of rapids or cascades, which are sepa- 
rated from each other by quiet stretches of water from 25 to 30 miles long. The mouth of the 
Columbia is an estuary 30 miles long and 6 miles wide, and opens into the ocean between Cape 
Disappointment and Point Adams, steamers ply on the lower river to the foot of the lowest 
cascade, a distance of 140 miles ; and above the highest cascade, to Old Fort Walla Walla. A 
raili'oad around the cascades connects the lower and upper parts of stream navigation. The dis- 
tance from the source to the mouth is about G70 miles, the length of the river, 1,150 miles, and the 
territory drained by it, 838,880 square miles. The Columbia receives numerous, and some very 
large tributaries. The Flat Bow Fork rises in tlie Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and 
flows S. into Montana, then returns W. N. W. into Columbia, and joins the parent stream near 
the southern extremity of the Lower Arrow lake. Clark's Fork is formed by Flat Head River 
and Bitter Root River. The former rises in the Rocky !W*onntains south of Kootanie Pass, flows 
south through Flat Head Lake, and then turns W. Bitter Root River rises in the Big Hole 
Mountains, and pursues a northerly course through a magnificent valley between the Bitter 
Root Mountains and the Rocky Mountains. It receives Blackfoot River and Big Hole River from 
the east. From the junction of the Flat Head and Bitter Root rivers Clark's Fork flows to the 
N. W. along the base of the Cceur d'Allene Mountains, passes through Lake Pend d'Oreille, p,nd 
joins the Columbia near the 49th parallel. The Spokane River rises in the Bitter Root Mountains, 
flows westward through CcEur d'Allene Lake, and joins the Columbia in 47° 46' N. lat. 

The Snake River or Lewises Fork, rises in the Wind River Mountains, fiows to the south along 
the eastern base of the Teton Range, and then passes through a mountain gap between this range 
and the Bear River Mountains. After its junction with Henry's Fork it flows south-west through 
the extensive Camas prairie, and is deflected to the west by the rocky plateau in southern Idaho, 
•which separates it from Humboldt River. In 116° 45' W. long, it turns north, forms the boun- 
dary between Oregon and Idaho, and passing through south-eastern Washington, empties into 
the Columbia about 10 miles north of the Old Fort Walla Walla. The Snake is a magnificent 
stream, marked in many parts of its course by the most impressive mountain scenery. It forma 
several falls of great dimensions, hardly, if at all, inferior to those of Niagara. The largest afflu- 
ents are Godin's River, McArthur River, Salmon River, and Clear Water River, all in Idaho ; Paloose 
River, in south-eastern Washington; and Owyhee River, Malheur River, a,\\(\. Grande Roimde Rivei; 
in Oregon. Below the junction with Snake River, the Columbia receives the John Day's river, 
which rises in the Blue Mountains, the Des Chutes or Falls, whicli flows along the eastern base of 
the Cascade Mountains ; and Willamette River, which traverses a very productive valley in west- 
ern Oregon, between the Cascade Mountains and the Coast Ranges. The two largest rivers of 
California, the Sacramento and San Joaquin, empty into the Bay of San Francisco. (See article 
California.) 

The Colorado River of the West, which empties into the Gulf of California, is formed by the 
confluence of the Greene and Grand rivers. The former rises in the Wind River Mountains, 
the loftiest of the Rocky Mountain ranges of Wyoming, and flows south across the elevated

plateuu over which passes the Union Pacific 11. R. The Uintah Mountains deflect it to 
the E. Turning their eastern base it flows again S., through an extensive basin between tlie 
Wahsatch and the Rocky mountains. Near tlie 38th parallel it joins Grand River. This large 
stream rises iu the Middle Park of Colorado, breaks through the western range of the Rocky- 
Mountains, and flows south-west, between tlie Uook and the Elk mountains. From the junction 
of tlie Green and the Grand rivers, the Colorado pursues its south-westerly course and enters 
those stupendous chasms in the White Mesa, known as the Great Canyon. At CoUville, in south- 
eastern Kovada, it emerges from this canyon, and flows due south, passing through valleys and 
other canyons, until it crosses the low Colorado Desert, and at last mingles its waters with those 
of tlie Gulf of California. The length of the Colorado from the source of Green River to the Gulf 
is over 1,000 miles, and it drains a territory of 227,000 square miles. Its western tributaries are 
email, but the eastern are large streams. The Rio San Juan, or Rio Blanco, rises in the Sierra 
Mimbres, and has a westerly course. The LiUle Colorado, or Flax River, rises in the Zuni Moun- 
tains, and flows along the southern margin of the White Mesa, passing, like the parent stream, 
through deep canyons, Gila River rises in the mountains of south-western New Mexico, and 
with a tortuous westerly course passes numerous mountain chains and joins the Colorado near 
the south-western corner of Arizona. 

3. The rivers which empty into the Gulf of Mexico drain the great central plain of the United 
States. The water-shed which divides this region from the drainage systems of the Pacific and 
Atlantic oceans, maybe described as follows : Beginning in southern NewMexico, it trends north- 
ward along the mountain ranges which border the vallej- of the Rio Grande and the South Park on 
the west. It then crosses to the east, and sweeping around the Middle Park, again follows the west- 
ern chain of the Rocky Mountains, as far north as the 45th parallel, where it turns east ai-ound 
the head-waters of Missouri River. From the 46tli parallel it trends north-west along the crest 
of the eastern cliain of the Rocky Mountains. The northern water-shed which divides the afliu- 
ents of the Mississippi from thoso of Lake Winnepeg and the Great Lakes, trends through Dako- 
tah, passes between Lake Traverse and Rig Stone Lake, follows the Height of Land in northern 
Iktinnesota, and then passes through Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, not 
far distant from the southern shores of Lakes Michigan and Erie. Tlie eastern water-shed passes 
through the undulating plateau of wester.i Pennsjdvania, then follows the Alleghany Mountains 
to Great Kanawha River, where it crosses over to the Blue Ridge. It follows this range through 
Virginia and North Carolina, and leaving it near the head-waters of Savannah River, it trends 
South through Georgia and Florida. 

This immense territory, the limits of which are indicated by the lines thus sketched, exceeds 
the area of western Europe, and comprises the most favored and productive region of the United 
States. The great streams which traverse it are navigable for immense distances, and afi'ord the 
most extensive network of water communication on the globe. 

The largest of these rivers is the 3Ilsslssippl, which, rising near the northern boundary of the 
United States, intersects this area from north to south, iu such a manner that two-thirds is west 
and one-third east of its channel. Its source lies iii northern Minnesota, on the Height of Land, 
at an elevation of 1,630 feet, and at a distance in a straight line of 1,295 miles from its mouth, while 
the length of the river is 2,616 miles. It drains an area of 1,244,000 square miles. Several of its 
tributaries are rivers of the first class in point of magnitude, and discharge the drainage from 
the Appalachian Mountains in the east, and the Rocky Mountains in the west, into the parent 
stream. The principal tributaries from the east are the Wisconsin River, the Illinois River, the 
Ohio River, which is formed by the junction of the Monongahela and Alleghany rivers, at Pitts- 
burgh, and receives numerous large affluents, as the Muskingum, Sciolo, Miami, Wabash, the Great 
Kenawha, Kenlucky Cumberland, &n(\ Tennessee Rivers ; tho Yazoo River iind the Rig Black River, 
The principal western tributaries of the Mississippi are the J/tnrtesoZa River, the Bes Moines River, 
which intersects Iowa ; the Missouri River, which rises in the Rocky Mountains of Montana and 
greatly exceeds in length the Mississippi River above its junction, being 2,908 miles long, and 
which receives such largo streams as the Yelloiu Stone, tlie Platle, the Kansas and the Osage ; the 
Arkansas River, rising among the Rocky Mountains of Colorado ; and the Red River, rising on the 
Llano Estacado. 

The streams emptying into the Gulf west of tUe Mississippi are those which intersect Texas, as 
tho Sabine, Trinity, Brazos, Colorado, Neuces ; and the Rio Grande, which forms the boundary 
between Texas and Mexico. The latter rises in the San Juan Mountains, flows through tho San 
Luis Park, in New Mexico, and pursues a southerly course to the 33d parallel. Thence it turns 
Bouth-east, and empties into the Gulf south of the Laguna Madre and near the small village of 
Bagdad. Its largest tributary is tho Pecos River. 

To the east of the Mississippi the following rivers empty into the Gulf of Mexico: the 
Mobile River, formed by the junction of the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers; the Alabama, 
formed by the Cahawba and Coosa rivers, which unite above Montgomery; the Appalachicola 
Jtiver, formed by the junction of the Chattahoochee fin(\ Flint rivers, the Suwanee River, which 
rises iu southern Georgia and intersects northern Florida.

IV. CMMATE AND VEGETATION. 

The region occupied by the United States has a highly favorable climatic situation, being 
within the "warm belt of the temperate zone. Its northern boundary is n}4° of latitude 
from the southern limit of the frigid zone, and its southern approaches within 1}4° of the tropic 
of Cancer. Thus it is equally exempt from extremes of heat and cold, and with the exception 
of the Arctic territory of Alaska, and the highest regions of the Cordilleras, the temperature of 
the United States throughout is such as is most conducive to the development and growth of 
civilized communities. Rain and moisture, suflacient for vegetation, prevail over the greater 
portion of the land. 

In studying the climate of any country we must ascertain two facts : 1, its mean annual tem- 
perature ; and 2, the distribution of the temperature throughout the seasons of the year. By 
mean annual temperature is untlerstood the arithmetical mean or average of all observations 
made during the year. Thus, when a place is said to have a mean annual temperature of 40°, the 
amount of heat it receives during the year is such, that if equally distributed, it would make the 
temperature of that place all the time 40°, and the thermometer would be stationary at that 
height. Under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution and the Medical Department of the 
Army, observations on temperature, rain-fall, direction of winds, etc., have been and are being 
made at numerous localities, and the published results furnish aurple material to the inquirer. 
A b^ief summary only can here be given of the climatic facts. The reader is also referred to 
Lorin Blodget's ^'■Climatology of the United States,'''' which contains, besides meteorological tables, a 
number of charts graphically exhibiting the lines of equal mean temperature, '■'■isothermal lines" 
(for the seasons and for the year), and the distribution of rain. 

As regards climate and vegetation, the United States may be divided into two portions. The 
first embraces the eastern part of the country (nearly y^ of its area) and extends from the Atlantic 
coast to tlie Great riains ; the second embraces the Great Plains and the Cordilleras, and extentls 
to the Pacific coast. 

1. Eastern Portion.— The characteristic feature of this portion is the comparative uniform- 
ity in the distribution of temperature. Localities of the same latitude do not greatlj' ditfer in 
mean annual temperature, and the isothermal lines cross the country in a general east and west 
direction. The coldest parts of this portion are northern Minnesota and northern Maine, which 
have a mean annual tempei-ature of 3(5° and 40° respectively. From these localities the mean an- 
nual temperature steadily increases toward the south, until the highest limit (73'=') is reached in 
southern Florida and at the mouth of the Rio Grande. 

In the distribution of temperature throughout the months and seasons, the country east of the 
Appalachian JNEountains differs materially from the Mississippi Valley, the latter being charac- 
terized by far greater extremes. Cambridge, Mass., and Dubuque, Iowa, lie in about the same 
latitude, and have nearly the same mean annual temperature. The coldest month in Cambridge 
has a mean temperature of -Ih]/^ degrees, and in Dubuque, 173^ degrees, while the hottest month 
in the former place is 69 5-6 degrees, and in the latter, 75 degrees. Thus the difference between 
the coldest and warmest month of the year is nearly 14 degrees greater in Dubuque than in Cam- 
bridge. 

The following two tables further illustrate this important fact :

The mean annual temperature of this portion is much lower than that of western Europe, 
New York, in 41° north latitude, has about the same mean annual temperature as Brussels, in. 

Belgium, although it is 10 degrees farther south ; and other places on both sides of the Atlantia 
exliibit similar differences. 



14 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

This is mainly owing to the influence of the oceanic currents, in connection with the prevailing 
winds. The summers in this portion, however, are as warm as, or even warmer than, those of 
Europe under the same latitudes, while the winters are colder. This relation is more strongly 
pronounced in the northern parts than in the southern. The summers in the northern parts are 
as warm as those of Italj-, while the winters are as cold as those of Norway and Sweden. This 
renders possible the cultivation of the cereals in the United States in much higher latitudes than 
the mean annual temperature would seem to permit. 

The area of the United States is almost entirely within the zone of variable winds. In this 
zone the -wind blows successively from all points of the compass, veering round, according to 
the law pointed out by Dove, from west to south, then to east and north. The chun.^es are pro- 
duced by two pi-imary atmospheric currents, the one tending fi-omtho north toward tlie cqvuitor, 
and the other in the opposite direction, which alternately displace each other. Westerly winds, 
however, predominate over all others. Out of 1,073 to 1,095 observations made during 1S5!), nearly 
500 indicated westerly winds at Portland, Me.; 63S at Atlanta, Ga.; and 456 at Dubuque, Iowa. The 
remaining observations indicated northerly, easterly and southerly Avinds, or calms. 

During tlie summer months, when the zone of the trade winds extends to the 30lh parallel, the 
Bouthern part of the United States is within this zone and should experience the north-cast 
trades. But this is not the ease ; the prevailing winds, on the contrarj', blow quite regularly from 
the south and the south-west (that is from the Gulf of Mexico), and their influence is felt as far 
as Cincinnati and St. Louis. They are the trade winds, deflected from the sea toward the land, 
by the greater heat of the latter, and in cause and etfect resemble the sunmier monsoons of the 
East Indies. At St. Louis, according to Englemann, the south and south-east winds arc the pi"e- 
vailing ones from April to October, in the other months the west and north-west winds. Hum- 
phreys and Abbott remark, that near the mouth of the Mississippi the wind veers round toward 
the south and continues to blow from that quarter and from the east during the summer and 
early part of the autumn. 

These deflected trades give to the Mississippi Valley its moist and semi-tropical summer cli- 
mate. The region immediately north of Mobile and Mississippi Sound has an annual rain-fall of 
63 inches, while Louisiana and Mississippi near the groat river receive 60 inches. Thence north- 
east and west the amount steadily decreases. It is but 39 inches in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and 
Michigan ; 45 inches in Illinois ; and 36 inches near the western ranges of the Appalachians, in 
Kentucky, Tennessee, and eastern Ohio. The western limit of the deflected trades coincides with 
the eastern limit of those arid plains, stretching several hundred miles in breadth along the 
eastern base of the Rocky Mountains. 

The sea-board is also well supplied with moisture. The rain-fall in southern Florida is 63 inches ; 
in Georgia, 50 inches ; in the Carolinas, 48 inches ; in Virginia, 45 inches ; and in Pennsylvania, 
New York, and New England, from 40 to 42 inches per annum. 

The indigenous vegetation of the east is that of forests and prairies. The forest region extends 
from the Atlantic sea-coast to a line drawn from southern Michigan to the mouth of Sabine River, 
thus including the southern part of the Mississippi Valley, but excluding the northern. West 
of tills boundary line the country is covered chiefly by fertile prairies, which gradually merge 
into the arid plains. 

The forests are composed of a great variety of trees. In the north, the evergreens, pine, spruce, 
and hemlock predominate, and among these the white pine (Pinus strobus) and the Canadian 
pine (P. canadensis) are representative forms. Deciduous trees, oak, elm, ash, maple, etc., 
gradually replace the evergreens as we progress southwai'd. In the latitude of Pennsjdvania 
and Indiana the predominating trees are several species of oak, the chestnut, the black walnut 
(Juglans nigra), the hickory, the beech (Fagns ferruginea), the tulip tree (Liriodendron), and the 
sassafras. In the Southern states (below Tennessee and North Carolina) evergreen trees of 
another type appeal-, and influence the character of the woods. Such are the live oak (Quereus 
virens), the gordonia, the magnolia, which forms extensive groves in the vicinity of the Gulf 
coast ; and the palmetto, growing on the sea-board from South Carolina to Florida. The Spanish 
inoss (Tillandsia usnoides), an epiphyte bromeliacca, covers with its long, gray festoons exten- 
sive tracts of the southern forests, imparting to them a peculiarly somber character; and the 
coasts of Florida are lined with the mangrove (Rhizophora mangle). 

The prairies, which occupy so large a portion of the United States, extend westward from the 
forest-belt, and are covered with grasses and various herbaceous plants. Trees grow in this wide 
region only on the bottom lands of the rivers, many of which flow in deeply eroded valleys. 
The absence of forests on the prairies is caused chiefly by the scarcity of rain during the summer 
months, when trees require moisture more than at any other time. 

3. The "Western Portion embraces a smaller area than the eastern. Its great elevation above 
the sea-level, and the presence of many lofty mountain chains, render its climate on the whole 
colder and more subject to extremes than the eastern portion. The South Pass, in Wyoming has 
a mean annual temjjerature of 40 degrees, while localities in the same latitude in the east have 50 
degrees. The isothermal line of 50 degrees coincides, in the Roclcy Mountains, with the .S<')lh 
pariiUel, which in Arkansas and North Carolina has over 60 degrees. The chief peculiarity 
of this region is the great range of temperature in the daily changes. At sunrise *.he ther- 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 15 

mometer may indicate 30 degrees, or even 24 degrees, and yet rise to 80 degrees and more 
by noon. 

The Great Plains and elevated plateaus of tlie Cordilleras differ from other parts of the United 
States in possessing a very dry atmosphere, with the consequent rarity in the precipitation of 
rain. The prevalent westerly winds, depositing in the western slopes of the Siei-ra Nevada the 
moisture gathered in theii- passage over the Pacific ocean, thence traverse the Great Basin nearly 
vaporless. The little moisture still left is arrested by the lofty crests of the Rocky Mountains, 
supplying them with a thin covering of snow. The small amount of rain which falls on the Great 
Plains is probably brought there by northerly and easterlj' winds. This arid region noui'ishes 
only a T^ry ^ca^ty vegetation. The growth of trees is limited to the flanks and recesses of the 
more elevated mountains. The table-lands are covered with the wild sage (Artemisia), or with 
an efflorescence of alkali, which prevents vegetation. Their aspect is extremely dreary. The 
Great Plains east of the Rocky Mountains otter a vast pasture to the bison, deer, and antelope, in 
their buffalo or "grama" grasses, which, as the summer advances, dry up without losing their 
nutritive qualities. 

The region which extends from the 40th to the 50th parallel, and which comprises Idaho, Mon- 
tana, and Washington, is timbered more or less heavily with several varieties of firs and pines. 
The loftier mountain ranges, from 6,000 to 8,000 feet in altitude, are clothed with a thick growth 
<of tall black pines. West of the Bitter Root river, which washes the eastern base of the lofty 
range, called in one locality the Bitter Root, and in another the Coeur d' Allene Mountains, the 
character of the country changes. The streams which flow through the gorges and defiles of 
this region are confined to narrow beds between mountain spurs, and the entire country is covered 
with almost impenetrable forests. West of this densely wooded mountain range extends tlia 
great plain of the Columbia river, on which no trees are seen, and which presents the appear- 
ance of a rolling ocean tossed by contending billows. Crossing this plain, and ascending tho 
Cascade Mountains nearly to their crests, we again enter into timber which stretches thence in 
an almost unbroken forest to the Pacific. This forest consists of gigantic pines and firs. Pinus 
douglassi, P. menziesii, P. mertensiana, and tho Oregon Cedar (Thuya gigautea). A height of 
too, and even 250, feet is with the Douglass pine by no means exceptional. Washington territory 
is famous for the best spar and ship timber in the United States, if not in the world. 

The comparatively narrow belt of country lying west of the summit line of the Sierra Nevada 
and the Cascade Mountains, and extending from the Columbia river to the southern extremity 
of California, differs essentially from the arid regions of the Cordilleras, and has a climate and 
vegetation quite distinct and peculiar. It is greatly favored by mild, short, and rainy winters, and 
resembles the Mediterranean countries of Europe (particularly Italy) in its rainless summers. 
The temperature is very equable, as will be seen from the following table :

Places on or near the sea-shore have a more uniform temperature than those farther inland. 
The cause of this must be sought in the cold ocean current washing the coast from north to south 
the influence of which does not extend beyond the Coast Ranges. 

From-November to April north-westerly winds prevail untnteruptedly, and as they reach the 
overheated valleys they rather absorb than precipitate moisture. The rainy season is charac- 
terized by southerly and south-easterly Avinds, whose moisture is condensed in their passage 
over the land, as this is at that season of the year colder than the sea. The low plains and the 
Coast Ranges of California and Oregon are destitute of forests. In the vicinity of the ocean, 
where the moisture is not too rapidly evaporated, pines and oaks are found, as the Pinus coul- 
ter!, P. sabiniana (the digger or silver puie), the Monterey pine and others ; but the heavy forests 
occur only in the higher portions of the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Mountains, which are 
exposed to the sea winds and condense their moisture. These forests are chiefly composed ol 
pines, of which twenty-eight species are known. From 2,800 feet to 4,700 feet above the sea ever- 
green oaks are mixed with the pines, but the higher forest region presents almost exchisively 
coniferous trees; and here grow those gigantic mammoth pines (Sequoia gigantea), the redwood, 
etc., which are so famous for their extraordinary dimensions. 

V. POPUIiATION. 
The total population of the United States, according to the ninth census (1870), is 38,S.i3,217, and 
leaving out the Indian tribes, 38,555,983. There are but four of the great empires of the world 
exceeding this in number of inhabitants, to wit: 1. The Chinese Empire, 477,500,000 inhabi- 
tants. 2. The British Empire, 174,200,000 inhabitants. 3. The Russian Empire, 76,500,0OJ.

population our country surpasses all others, and must hold for many decades the foremost 
rank, as there is none that approaches it in natural wealth and resources. The following table

According to the tables submitted to the Statistical Congress at Berlin, in 1863, by Sami^el B. 
Rugglcs : 

The United States increased in 60 years (1S00-18G0) .593 per cent. 

England and Wales " 60 " (1801-1861)121 " 

Russia " 45 " (1816-1861) 79 " 

Franco " 60 " (1801-1801) 37 " 

The efficient causes of progress of population are annexation, immigration, and natural 
Increase (the excess of births over deaths). The first of these factors has contributed but little. 
Louisiana, when purchased, had 77,000 inhabitants; Florida, about 10,000; California and New 
Mexico, about 60,000 ; Texas and Oregon mainly brought back into the Union citizens who had 
emigrated thither but a short time before. Of far greater importance has been and will certainly 
be hereafter, the second factor. Immigration, which, though partially arrested by the civil Avar, 
has expanded to the largest dimensions since the return of peace. Moreover, the character of 
the immigrants has materially improved, as the intelligent and moneyed classes of Europe have 
become more interested in our extraordinary resource^. America is no longer looked upon in 
foreign countries as a refuge for oppressed labor, but rather as a field for commercial and indus- 
trial enterprise, promising greater results than the combination ol capital and labor can realize 
elsewhere. 

Nearly 10,000,000 of our population are foreigners or descendants of foreigners. It has been 
estimated that the population in 1850 would have been about 22,000,000 if all Immigi-ation had been 
arrested at the time ©f the Declaration of Independence. The population of the colonies at the 
commencement of the Revolutionary war was probably not far from 3,000,000 ; and the arrival of 
immigrants, previous to the enactment of the passenger act of March 2, 1819, amounted to about 
250,000. Since that period the stream of immigration has steadily increased. The total number 
of iminigrants who arrived between October 1, 1819, and December 31, 1870, was 7,5.53,865. Includ- 
ing the 250,000 already here before October, 1819, the total number of aliens permanently added to 
our population by direct immigration since the establishment of the government will reach 
.,803,865. 

It is obvious that this large influx of labor, partly skilled, partly unsldlled, adds a large amount 
to the total wealth of the nation, however difficult it maybe to estimate this value in dollars and 
cents. Mr. Fr. Kapp, member of the German Parliament, assumes the average value of each 
immigrant to be $1,125. Mr. Edward Young, the able chief of the Bureau of Statistics, deems 
$1,000 as somewhat too large. The question is yet unanswered; but if we accept $800 as being 
about the value of an immigrant, inclusive of the average amount in cash ho brings with him, 
then the addition to the wealth of the country by immigration to 1871 reaches the stupendous 
sum of .$6,243,092 000.

The table shows how very unequal has been the increase in the different divisions of the coun- 
try. It has exceeded 100 per cent, in some of the new states and territories— Nevada, Nebraska, 
Kansas, Minnesota, Dakota, Utah, and Washington. It has been less than 100 per cent., and more 
Wian 50, in Iowa, Michigan, Oregon, andtlie District of Columbia. The increase lias been still less 
in those older states which have attained a comparatively high degree of development, and pos- 
sess a dense population, i. e., a large number of inhabitants to eacli square mile of area, as Mary- 
land, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and others. The increase in the 
former slave states has been small, averaging but 17 per cent. Only four of them— Florida, Lou- 
isiana, Missouri and Texas— have grown more than 30 per cent., as they offered extraordinary 
inducements to immigrants, in the riclmess of their natural resources and the sparsity of their 
populations. The rate of increase of the New England states has been less than that of the 
United States at large. Maine and New Hampshire have slightly fallen off in population, 
although they liave only eighteen and thirty -five inhabitants respectively to the square mile. 
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island are the most densely inhabited portions of the 
country, having respectively 182,114, and 167 inhabitants to the square mile ; but their increase 
hao been small, averaging but 18 per cent.

18 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

Four of the Ave races into which the human family is ordinarily divlcTea are represented In 
the population of the United States— the Indian, the Ethiopian, the Mongolian, and the 
Caucasian races ; or, classified by color— the Red, the Black, the Yellow, and the White 
races. The total number of Indians was, according to the last census, 383,712. Of these 25,731 
were living as brolten bands in many of the states, sustaining no tribal relations ; 96,366 were 
upon government reservations and under agencies ; and 231,740 roamed as nomads over the thinly 
settled parts of the West. The Ethiopians or Negroes were imported into the colonies as slaves, 
previous to the Declaration of Independence. In 1790 they numbered 757,313 souls, 59,446 of whom 
were then free. In 1850 they had increased to 3,638,762, inclusive of the various shades of colorea 
persons and ten years later, to 4,441,756, of whom 487,990 were free and .<?,953,760 slaves. The last 
census gives their number as 4,868,387. The rate of increase from 1850 to 1860 wa,? 22.35 per cent, 
but from ISGO to 1870, only 9.6 per cent., while the population of the country at large increased 
during the same decades, 35.39 and 22.64 per cent, respectively. 

In 1870 the proportion of the colored to the whole popiilation was 141^ to 100, a ratio by no 
means alarming in a political point of view. But it greatly varies in the different states : in 
South Carolina And Mississippi the number of the colored people considerably exceeds that of 
the whites; in all others the whites predominate.

The 3rongolian race is represented by Chinese and a few Japanese. The ^"^^f ''.f ^1^^^^"^^ 
is indeed so small, that they are not separately enumerated in the census In 18b0 there j ere 
35,565 Chinese in California only. At present they are found in twenty-three states. Asiatic 
immigration, says Mr. Edward Young, has not yet reached such proportions as to excite alarm 
in the most apprehensive, and falls far short of what has been represented, never having reached 
in any single year the number of 15,000; forming only four per cent, of our total ^'^^"'S^-^tio" 
A peculiarly of the Chinese immigration is the small number of females, not exceedmg seven

new nation which is being formed out of the various elements mil alwaj-s exhibit the impress of 
their peculiar social and political characteristics. 

Germans came over and settled in this country at a very early day, and their influx has, v/ith 
nnlmportant intermissions, (t. e., for instance, during the Napoleonic wars) steadily continued, a 
large proportion going to the rural districts and developing the agricultural resources. In Penn- 
sylvania and the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia there are districts whose inhabitants are mainly 
descendants of the early German settlers from the Palatinate, and still speak a German dialect. 
The Sivedes colonized the western shore of Delaware River, and the Dutch or Hollanders the 
southern part of the state of New York. 

The Ti-ish represent the Celtic element in our population. From 1601 to 1745 the influx of this 
element amounted to 263,000 souls (according to Thomas Kewenham'g "Statistical and Historical 
Inquiryinto the Progress and iNIagnitudc of Ireland"). The 165,000 persons who immigi-ated from 
1790 to ISU were mainly Irish (probably nine-tenths). They settle in the large cities and towns or 
In the manufacturing districts. The majority of laborers in the industrial establishments of 
Kow England, and on railroads and canals, are Irish, and not many go into the rural districts. 

The JRomanic nations of Europe have also sent their qiiota across the Atlantic, although a small 
one. French Huguenots, persecuted at home for their religion, settled In South Carolina. Mis- 
souri and Louisiana, when coded to the United States, were mostly inhabited by Frenchmen ; 
and the annexation of Florida, Texas, California, and New Mexico, added a few thousand Span- 
iards and Spanish half-breeds to our population. 

The Slavonic nations have contributed to our increase still less than the Romanic. The few 
Russians, Poles, and others, who land on our shores are soon lost in the great mass. 

The question as to the proportion in which the nationalities above mentioned are represented 
to-day among the American people is one of considerable etlmograpbic mterest. From tho 
nature of the inquiry a rougU estimate only can be given. "We take as the basis the census for 
18-20, previous to which the nationality of immigrants was not specified. The white population in 
that year was 7,862,106. Since then the direct white immigration has been about 7,300,000. In 1870 
the white population had increased to 33,586,989. 

If the smn of the first two numbers is deducted from the last, the remainder (about 17,930,000), 
is that part of the increase which is owing to the excess of births over deaths. If we then distrib- 
ute the wUite population of 1820, and the direct white immigration since 1820. among tho natlon- 
alties above mentioned, and add to each its propoi-tionate share of the increase duo to tho 
excess of births over deaths (17,030,000), we shall obtain approximately the numerical strength of 
each nationality in the American people. 

The following results in round numbers are based upon this estimate and calculation, and 
though not claiming for them a great degree of accuracy, we think that they are not very far 
from the truth : 

1. Anglo-Saxons 8,340,000 inhaVntants' 

2. Germans, including Prussians, Austrians and Swiss 8,930,000 " 

3. Other Germanic nations, as Dutch and Scandinavians 728,000 " 

Germanic nations 17,998,000 " 

4. Celts, principally Irish .' 10,255,000 " 

5. Romanic nations, as French, Spaniards, Portuguese, and Italians 1,016.000 " 

6. All other nationalities 4,320,000 " 

Total white inhabitants in 1870 33,595,000 

The number of natives descended purely from one or the other stock is still large. Intermar- 
riages between persons of ditferent nationalities are, however, quite common. Were the fusion 
of these diverse elements complete, then, of 100 drops of American blood, 25 would be Anglo- 
Saxon, 27 Gennan, 2 Dutch or Scandinavian, SO]-^ Celtic, 3 Romanic, and V2^ uncertain.

TI. CITIES. 



The last censds report contains the naiaes of 374 incorporated cities, which vary in population 
from 1,214 (Tuscumbia, Ala.,) to 942,292 (New York). There are but flfty-one cities with a popula- 
tion exceeding 25,000 ; and of these twenty-seven have from 25,000 to 50,000 inhabitants ; eleven 
from 50,000 to 100,000 ; seven, from 100,000 to 2,50,000; and six, over 250,000. 

The subjoined table shows the distribution of the cities in the different states. It will be 
noticed that New York and Massachusetts have the greatest number of large cities. The principal 
cities of the oentral states lie either upon the lakes, as Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Chicago, and 
ISIilwaukeo ; or upon the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, as St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Louis- 
villej and Cincinnati.

22 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

The growtli of the cities has Ijceu far more rapid than that of the open country. Thus the 
city of New York increased during the lust decade 19 per cent. ; New Haven, Conn., 29 )ier 
cent. ; Boston, 41 per cent. ; Portland, Me., 19 percent.; Baltimore, 26 per cent. ; Richmond, \'a., 
31 per cent. ; ratios which are far in advance of their respective states. Philadelphia, -with 
19 per cent., alone .shows a smaller growth than its state with 21 per cent. Jersey City has 
made a progress (183 per cent.) even more rapid than the most prosperous cities Avest of the 
Alleghanies. Pittsburgh increased 75 per cent.; Buffalo, 45; Cleveland, 114; Detroit, 74; Chicago, 
]6(5; Milwaukee, 58; St. Louis, 93; Cincinnati, 35; Indianapolis, 159; Louisville, 48 ; and San Fran- 
cisco, 163. The Southern cities advance less rapidly. New Orleans shows an increase of 39 per 
cent, and Mobile of only 9. The most remarkable growth apparently was that of fecrantou, Pa., 
Wliiih increased 261 per cent. 

VII. OCCrPATIOXS AX» BRANCBLEIS OF IJVDUSTRT. 

T)ie total number of persons employed in gainful and reputable occupations, for which thoy 
receive compensation in the shape of wages or salary, or from Avhich they derive products of a 
mercliantable character, was, in 1870, 12,505,923, of whicli 10,009,035 were males, and 1,830,288 females. 
In a majority of the states the number of those who had no recognized occupations was quite 
large ; but of tho 10,429,150 males between the ages of 16 and 59 inclusive, 9,486,734 were accounted 
for in the tables of the census, while of 989,510 above the age of 60, 634,837 were accounted for. The 
difference in the former period (i. e., 10 to 59) is substantially made up, first, by tlie number of 
students pursuing courses of instruction ; second, by the number of persons afflicted with bodily 
or mental infirmities disqualifying them from participating in the industry of the country ; 
third, by the members of the pauper and criminal classes. 

The total number of females above the age of 16, not accounted for in the census, was in the 
neighborhood of 9,100,000. But of these probably 7,400,000 were occupied in "keeping bouse," 
others attended school, and the remainder was made up of various classes, such as grown-up 
daughters living at home, widowed mothers supported by their children, ladies living upon 
the income of accumulated property, as well as paupers, vagrants, and criminals. 

The census report classifies all the various occupations under four heads : 

1. Agricullure, in which were employed a grand total of 5,922,471 persons. Of these 
2,977,711 were farmers and planters, 2,885,996 agricultural laborers, 31,435 gardeners and nursery- 
men, 6,588 stock raisers, and 5,590 stock herders. 

2. Under the head of Professional and Personal Services, the census enumerates 72 distinct occu- 
pations, with 2,084,793 persons. Laborers, not specified, greatly predominated, numbering 1,031,- 
666. Of the 975,734 domestic servants, 108,380 were males, and 807,354 females. Thus only 1 out of 
every 8.7 of the 7,579,863 families enjoyed the assistance of female help. The majoritj- of the ser- 
vants were natives of the United States, viz. : 728,180 ; 145,956 were natives of Ireland ; 42,866, of 
Germany, 14,878, of British America ; 12,531, of England ; and 5,420, of China. Barbers and hair dress- 
ers numbered 23;935 ; boarding and lodging-house keepers, 12,785 ; hotel keepers, 26,394 ; restaurant 
keepers, 35,185; clei'ks in hotels and restaurants, 5,245 ; other employees in these establishments, 
23,4.38 ; clerks and employees in government offices, 23,079 ; launderers and laundresses, 00,906. The 
learned professions were thus represented : authors and lecturers, 458 ; chemists, 608 ; metallur- 
gists, 104 ; clergymen, 43,874 ; dentists, 7,839 ; civil engineers, 4,703 ; journalists, 5,286 ; land survey- 
ors, 2,671 ; lawyers, 40,736; naturalists, 287; physicians and surgeons, 62,383 ; and veterinary sur- 
geons, 1,109. The different branches of the fine arts included 2,017 architects, 934 designers and 
draftsmen, 775 painters, 250 sculptors, and 2,948 artists not specified. There were 186,570 teachers, 
9,491 of whom taught music, 108 drawing and painting, and 149 dancing. 

3. The title Trade and Transportation includes the commercial classes, niimbering 1,191,233 i^er- 
sons, of whom 14,302 were bankers and brokers, employing 10,205 officials, clerks, and others ; the 
railroads absorbed tlie activity and services of 163,303 persons ; the telegraphs of 8,579 ; and the ex- 
press companies, of 9,396. The traders and dealers of all classes numbered 1,262,268, who employed 
222,504 clerks, 31,177 book-keepers and accountants, 7,202 commercial travelers, and 14,203 salesmen 
or saleswomen. The sailors numbered 56,003 ; the boatmen and watermen, 21,332 ; the canalmen, 
7,338 ; Bteamboatmen and women, 7,975 ; and the shippers and freighters, 3,567. 

4. In the Mami/actures, aiid Mechanical and Mining Industries, there were engaged 2,707,421 per- 
sons, of Avhom 344,596 wei-e carpenters, 171,127 boot and shoemakers, 101,820 tailors and seamstresses, 
152,107 miners, 141,774 blacksmiths, 111,606 cotton-mill operatives, 58,830 woolen-mill operatives, 
41,619 mill and factory operatives not specified, 80,710 ma»!Ons, 85,123 painters and varnishers, 39,- 
860 printers, and 42,877 manufacturers. 

VIII. AGRICUI.T1JBE. 
The great majority of the people of the United States are engaged in agriculture, which here 
as elsewhere forms the basis of national wealth. With happy peculiarities of climate, extent 
of territory through so many degrees of latitude or isothermal belts, and an immense area of 
most fertile soil, we enjoy extraordinary advantages for producing agricultural staples in 
great variety and abundance. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 23 

The importance of the agricultural interest is fully recognized hy the government and the 
people. In isai the Deparlmenl of Agriculture was established by act of Congress, for the purpose 
of collecting statistics, introducing from foreign lands seeds of new plants, testing their adap- 
tability to our soil and climate, and disseminating information to the farmers. Agricultural 
colleges have been established in many of the states, and agricultural periodicals are published 
in nearly all parts of the country. 

But farming is, as yet, a business rather than a profession. Too much land is superficially 
cultivated and soon exhausted. Tlie very perfection of the labor-saving machines and imple- 
ments, in which this country surpasses all others, promotes the process of wearing out the sur- 
face soil. In all the older states tliere ai-e largo tracts which formerly produced twice as 
mucli corn or wheat to the acre as they produce now. It has become doubtful whether farming 
pays in New England : and the country population" there is gradually decreasing. Tlie older 
tobacco plantations of Maryland and Virginia have been in many instances abandoned, and a 
large proportion of the southern cotton-lands have ceased to yield profitable returns. The yield 
of wheat fifty years ago in Ohio was 30 bushels to tlie acre ; to-day it is not qiiite 15. An English 
traveler was surprised by the extraordinary productiveness of the wheat fields near Albany, N. Y., 
in 1775, which yielded from 30 to 40 bushels per acre, with inferior cultivation. In 1855 winter 
wheat yielded 114 bushels, and spring wheat but 5. The present method of farming will probably 
prevail as long as farmers can go West and obtain fresh land for a comparatively low price. But 
when the vast amount of virgin soil yet awaiting the arrival of the husbandman shall have been 
all taken up and made to yield its dormant treasures, lands will necessarily increase in value, 
thoroughlj' scientific cultivation will become profitable, and agriculture will rise to the dignity 
of a learned profession. 

According to the last census report, the aggregate area of the farms of the United States 
comprised 407,735,041 acres, or about 21 per cent, of the entire surface. Of this amount 
189,000,000, or somewhat over 9 per cent., were "improved," t. e., cleared land, used for grazino- 
grass, or tillage, or lying fallow. These figures show what an immense amount of land is yet 
opento the settler. In ISiJO the improved lands comprised 103,000,000 of aci-es, andinlSSO, 113,000 000. 
The rate of progress will hereafter, probably, not fall sliort of 4,000,000 of acres per annum. At 
this rate it will still take about two hundred and fifty years before the cultivable portion of the 
United States (somewhat more than one-half of the entii'e area) will bo improved. 

The total area in woodland was 159,310,177 aci-es, or 39 per cent, of the aggregate of acres In 
farms. Tlie Southern states are remarkably well wooded ; the twelve states from Marjdand to 
Tennessee averaging in woods 52 per cent, of their farm area ; the New England states have 32 
per cent, of woods ; the Middle states 28 per cent. ; and the Central states, from West Virginia to 
Nebraska, 32 per cent. The territories are not ricli in woods, except Washington, which has 44 
per cent. California has but 4 per cent, of its fai-ra area in woodland ; Nebraska, 10; Kansas , 11 ; 
Iowa, 16 ; Illinois, 19 ; Indiana, 30 ; Ohio, 31 ; Kentucky, 48 ; and West Virginia, 51. 

The cash value of farms in 1870 was $9,202,803,801 (against $6,645,045,007, in 1860) ; and of farm imple- 
ments, $336,878,429. The wages paid during the year amounted to $310,286,285, and the value of all 
farm products, including betterments and inci-ease of stock, reached the large sum of $2,447,538 653 • 
in addition to which the orchards produced $47,335,189, and the market gardens, $20,719,229. New 
York, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri, rank first in the value of farm 
products. 

The value of animals slaughtered or sold was $398,953,376 ; of home manufactures, $23,423,332 ; and 
of forest products, $36,808,277. If these sums are added to those of the farm, orchard, and garden 
products, the grand total of agricultural activity amounts to $2,974,781,059, or about $80 for eacli 
inhabitant of the country. 

The live stock comprised 7,145,370 horses, 1,125,415 asses and mules, 8,935,332 milch cows, 1,319,271 
working oxen, 13,568,605 other cattle, 28,477,951 sheep, and 25,134,569 swine. The total value of all 
live stock was $1,525,276,475. 

The census returns of domestic animals include only those on farms. No provision is 
made for enumeration of horses, cattle, and other animals,kept for work, milk, and fattening, in 
cities, or those in transitu to the feeder and butcher. The statistician of the Department of 
Agriculture estimates the number of cattle not on farms, in 1870, 4,273,973, or 15 per cent, of the 
aggregate returned ; and the number of horses, 1,547,370, or 18 per cent. 

Illinois had the largest number of horses, 853,73S, or 34 horses to every 100 inhabitants ; then 
follow Olilo with 609,722, or 23 horses to 100 inhabitants ; Now York, with 536,861, or 12 horses to 
100 inhabitants ; and Indiana with 497,883, or 30 horses to 100 inhabitants. 

Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and Alabama, had the largest number of mules and 
isses. The Northern states had but few. 

The principal sheep-raising states are Ohio (about five mUlion sheep), California (two and two. 
third millions). New York (over two millions), Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Penn- 
sylvania, and Wisconsin (from one to two millions each).

In 1870 there were in the United States 2,659,935 farms, which had an average extent of about 
150 acres. Over one-half of the farms covered from 20 to 100 acres. According to the classifica- 
iion of the census report, 0.3 per cent of all the farms were below 3 acres ; 6.4 per cent, hail from 
3 to 10 acres ; 11.1 per cent., from 10 to 20 acres ; 31.9 per cent., from 20 to 50 acres ; 28.3 per cent., from 
50 to 100 acres ; 21.2 per cent., from 100 to 500 acres ; 0.6 per cent., from 500 to 1,000 acres ; and but 0.2 
per cent, more than 1,000 acres. 

The average size of farms lias considerably decreased since 1800 ; except in Wisconsin , whore no 
change has taken place ; in Massacliusetts, where it has increased from 94 to 103 acres ; and in 
California, where it has ri.sen from 466 to 482 acres. In North Carolina it has decreased from 316 
to 212 acres ; in Soutli Carolina, from 4SS to 233 ; in Mississippi, from 370 to 103 ; in Texas, from 591 to 
.301. In the central states the decrease is less marked ; and was from 146 to 128, in Illinois j from 
114 to 111, in Ohio ; from 211 to 158, in Kentucky, and from 165 to 134, in Iowa. 

Irrir/alion.— That portion of the United States wliieh includes the Cordilleras and the Great 
Plains, suffers, as has been stated, from eitlier scarcity or absence of moisture. Agriculture there 
will always be impossible, except in favored spots, which admit of irrigation from the rivers 
and creeks. But even in the most favored states of tlie Mississippi valley irrigation would bo 
exceedingly profitable. The yield of meadows would thereby be doubled and trebled, and that 
of the grain flelds at least greatly increased. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 25 

Thegi-eat staples of the United States are the cereals— corn, wheat, rye, oats, and barley ; pota- 
toes, rice, tobacco, cotton, wool, and dairy products. 

Indian Corn, or Maize, is the only cereal indigenous to the American continent, and is the most 
extensively cultivated food-plant of the United States. It requires gi-eat summer heat, and 
hence our climate is peculiarly adapted to its culture. The northern limit maj^ be represented 
by the summer isotherm of 65°, which excludes northern Maine, Minnesota, and Wisconsm, the 
valley of the St. Lawrence, and the larger portion of the Pacific coast. Its yield varies from 30 
to 80 bushels to the acre. The total product amounted in 1S70 to 760,94-1,549 bushels. Illinois pro- 
duced over one-sixth of the whole amount ; Iowa, Missouri, and Ohio, each a little over one- 
twelfth ; and then followed Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. 

Wheat reauii-es a cooler climate than corn, and its range extends farther north, but not as far 
south. It is, on the east of the Rocky Mountains, a reliable crop as far as the Saskatchawan val- 
ley, in 54° lat., and on the Taciflc coast as high as 60° lat. The average yield, with careful culti- 
vation and good soil, is about 30 bushels to the acre. Forty bushels is considered an extraordi- 
nary crop, but in the irrigated region of Utah and Colorado a yield of 60 bushels is not excep- 
tional. In 1870 there were produced in the United States 112,549,733 bushels of spring whe/it, and 
175,195,893 of winter wheat ; together, about 288,000,000 bushels. Iowa, AVisconsin, Minnesota, Cali- 
fornia, and Illinois produced the largest quantities of spring wheat ; Ohio, Indiana, Pennsyl- 
vania, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and New York, of winter wheat. 

Bye is a much hardier plant than wheat, and is cultivated mostly in the extreme northern or 
the more elevated pai-ts of the country. Its cultivation is much less profitable than that of 
wheat. The total yield in 1870 was 16,918,795 bushels, of which Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, 
Wisconsin, and Kentucky produced the largest amount. 

The cereal, Oats, is so well adapted to either cold or warm climates, that it maybe cultivated in 
nearly every portion of our country. It produces from 30 to 80 bushels to the acre. The jdeld in 
1870 was 282,107,157 bushels, which were raised chiefly in the Northern and Middle states, as Illi- 
nois, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota. 

Barley also is a product of the north, and is almoist exclusively used for the manufacture of 
malt beer. It yielded in 1870, 29,961,305 bushels, the greater portion of which was produced in 
California and New Vork. 

The product of the cereals, from 1859 to 1870, was as follows

The money value of the 1,330,029,400 bushels of cereals produced in 1867 is ofllcially stated by 
the Department of Agriculture to be $1,248,037,000. 
The area of cereals, in acres, is reported by the same department as follows :

The lai-ge crops of 1870 were produced by the farming population of over thirty-eight millions 
of inhabitants, being at the rate of 33 bushels a head for the whole population. If it is correct 
to assume that eight bushels of cereals are sufficient to support one person for one year, the United 
States had a surplus of 25 bushels per inliabitaut for exportation or an aggregate of J ,000 millions 
of bushels. A very large portion of this surplus, however, was fed to swine and other animals, 
and reappeared in the form of animal food, while a not inconsiderable quantity was distilled into 
whisky and other spirituous liquors, or converted into starch, etc. 

The total production of cereals is on an average more than twice as large for each inhabitant 
of the United States, as it is in Europe. TMs enormous production is in great measure owing to 
the numerous machines for sowing, planting, reaping, threshing', and preparing the grain for mar- 
ket, which are the result of the inventive genius of the American people, saving the labor and 
taking the place of millions of men ; and that, too, at seasons of the year when men in sufficient 
numbers could not be obtained. The number of reaping machines actively employed in 1860 was 
estimated by Mr. John Stanton Gould at 210,000, a number which since then must have greatly 
ijicreased. 

Rice is pre-eminently the grain of the subtropical zone. It requires a great deal of moisture,

and can he cultivated only on fields which are subject to inundation, either natural or nrtiflcial. 
Rico culture is doscrihed thus: " A sluice is cut through the river hanks, and the fields, being 
first inclosed in a levee, are flooded. The land is plowed and flooded in March, and as soon as 
the young plants appear, they are submerged in water, so regulated as to keep their heads just 
above the surface. AVhen the grain has matured, the fields are laid drj', and the crop is gathered. 
The yield is from 30 to 60 bushels per acre, but under favorable conditions rises as high as 90 
bushels," Kice was Introduced in to Virginia early in the seventeenth century, and fifty years later 
into the Carolinas. It is also cultivated now along the coasts of Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, and 
Texas. The total crop in the United States was 80,841,42i pounds, in 1840; 215,31 1', 710, in 1850, 
187,167,032, in 18(i0; and 73,635,021, in 1870. The great decrease in its production for the last decade i3 
owing to the civil war. During this war labor was entirely disorganized ; flood-gates, dx'ains, 
Canals and l)arns were destroyed, and Mhen peace returned rice culture had well nigh ceased. In 
ISCO rice to the value of $2,507,309 was exported ; in 1870 the export had fallen to $127,6.55. 

Ibbucco is indigenous in America, and was first introduced into Europe by Sir Walter Raleigh. 
Since then the consumption has enormously increased, so that its culture has extendetl to every 
part of the civilized world where the conditions of soil ami climate are favorable to its growth. 
The tobacco crop in the United States for 1840 was 219,163,319 pounds ; for 1830, 199,752,646 pounds ; 
for 1800, 434,209,641 pounds ; and for 1870, 262,73.5,341 pounds. Over forty per cent, of this qiiantity 
was raised in Kentucky (viz. : 105,305,809 pounds). Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio, Maryland, Missouri, 
and North Carolina produced 44 per cent.; Avhilo the remainder was produced chiefly In Con- 
necticut, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, New I'ork, Pennsylvania, and AVest A''irginia. 

Sugar-cane (Saccharum ofBcinarum) is a tropical plant, and its cultivation in the United States 
is almost entirely confined to the Mississippi delta in Louisiana. It is very sensitive to frost, so 
that, if the juice becomes frozen, tlie sacharine matter contained therein will not crystallize into 
sugar. In the West Indies the cane is a perennial plant ; in Louisiana the crops are gathered 
from one planting. The quantity of sugar produced on an acre varies greatly, according to 
the quality of soil and care of cultivation. The crop of ISGO in the United States jaelded 230,982 
hogsheads of sugar, of 1,000 poinids each, and 14,963,998 gallons of molasses; in 1870, 87,043 hogs- 
heads of sugar and 6,593,323 gallons of molasses. During the latter year sugar and molasses were im- 
ported to the amount of nearly $72,000,000, being little less than the total value of exports during 
the same year, of corn, wheat, and flour. It is not likely that the limited area fit for cane culture 
will ever produce more than a small portion of the amount annually consumed in our countrj', 
and hence the introduction of the beet-sugar industry would be of great advantage to our pros- 
perity. That this can be done is shown by actual experiments successfully made in various places. 

Sorghwn {Hovghnm saccharatum) is raised in the Mississippi valloj', and yielded in 1870, 16,050,059 
gallons of molasses ; but only twenty-four hog.sheads of sugar. The product of maple trees was 
28,443,645 pounds of sugar and 921,057 gallons of molasses. 

Collon is the great staple of the Southern states. Two varieties are cultivated— the upland 
and the sea island cotton. Tlxe former grows under favorable conditions as far north as the 
40th parallel, but as a commercial crop it is limited by a line which coincides with the northern 
boundary of Mississippi, sweeps aroiind the base of the Appalachians through Alabama, Georgia, 
and South Carolina, and then turns north to Kaleigh and south-eastern Virginia. Beyond the 
Mississippi its culture extends up the lower valleys of the Red, Arkansas, and White rivers. 
The sea-island variety is raised on the low fcrtde islands of the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. 
Its value is five or six times as great as that of the upland. 

In 1792 the question was seriously discussed in England, whether the L^'nited States would ever 
produce one hundred bales of cotton. Subsequently the inventive genius of Eli Whitney con- 
quered for this plant a place among the principal staples of the world, second only to the cereal 
grasses. His cotton gin, which separates the flber from the seed, rendered it possible to prepare 
even the largest crops for the loom. 

In 1800 the whole product amounted to 100,000 bales of 400 pounds each ; in 1824,to .509,1.58 bales; 
In 1830, to 976,845 bales; in 1840, to 2,12S,8,S0 bales; in 1850, to 2,445,793 and in 1860, to 5,196,940. The 
war brought this branch of industry almost to a standstill ; nor has the recovery been very rapid 
since. In 1866 the crop was almost 2,000,000 bales; in 1867, 2,.500, 000 bales; and in 1870,3,011,990 
bales, which were produced chiefly in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, 
the Carolinas, and Tennesee. For years to come the production will not, in the opinion of the 
Commissioner of Agriculture, reach the quantity before the war, and the average value will 
not exceed 300,000,000 dollars. 

The Potato is hardly of less importance than corn or wheat. It is a native of America, and has 
been found growing wild in Chili and Ecuador, but is now cultivated in nearly all parts of the 
temperate zone. Its climatic range is very wide, as it is successfully grown from Alabama and 
Georgia to the shores of the Great Lakes, and even of Hudson Bay. The average yield Is 
below two hundred bushels to the acre, though crops of four hundred bushels are not 
rare under favorable conditions of soil and season, lu 1870 the United States produced 
143,337,473 bushels, chiefly in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

The Sweet Potato is a native of the East Indies and tropical America ; and is in the United 
States cliiefly cultivated in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas. The crop in 
1870 was '21,709,824 bushels. 

Fiax and Hemp were cultivated in the United States at an early date ; but they are now in 
great measure superseded by cotton. The hemp crop yielded, in 1870, 12,576 tons, eleven-twelfths 
of wliich were produced in Kentucky and Missouri. Flax yielded in the same year 27,133,003 
pounds, two-thirds of which were produced in New York. 

The Hay crop of the country is of great value ; but from its weight and bulk it does not form 
an important Item in the list of exports. lu 1850 there were produced 23,838,642 tons ; in 1860 
19,083,898 tons, and in 1870, 27,316,048 tons. The following states produced from one to between 
live and six millions of tons each: New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Mich- 
Igan, Wisconsin, Maine, and Vermont. The Southern states receive from the Northern large 
quantities of hay in the form of compressed bales. 

Butler, Clieese, and Milk are produced chiefly in the Northern states, and of these New York la 
far in advance of all others. The subjomed table shows the increase of dairy produce during 
the three last decades : 

1850. 1860. 1870. 

Butter 313,345,306 459,681,372 514,092,083 pounds. 

Cheese 105,535,893 103,603,927 53,492,1.53 pounds. 

Milk(sold) 235,500,599 gals. 

The production of Wool has progressed remarkably both as regards quantity and quality. 
In 1850 the aggregate product was about 52,000 000 pounds ; in 1860,60,000,000, and in 1870, 100,000,000. 
Ohio .with twenty and a half millions, surpasses all the other states ; California follows with eleven 
millions; New York, with ten millions ; Michigan, with eight millions. Vermont excels in 
producing wool of the very finest quality . 

The production of Silk is still in its infancy in the United States. The census for 1870 reports 
3,937 pounds of silk cocoons, which were produced almost entirely in California. Here the mul- 
berry (Morns alba, and M. moretti) grows well in proper situations ; but whether the raising of 
Bilk -worms can be successfully carried on with the high price of labor is doubtful. 

IX. MANUFACTURES. 

The manufacturing industry of the United States progresses at the most extraordinary rate, 
and keeps pace with the development of the natural resources of the country. New branches are 
constantly added to those already in successful operation, and nearly all the commodities 
that enter into the consumption of a civilized nation are produced within our borders. 

In 1870 there were 252,148 manufacturing establishments, employing 1,215,711 horse-power of 
steam engines, 1,130,431 horse-power of water wheels, and 2,053,998 liands, of whom 1,615,598 were 
males above 16 years of ago, and 323,770 females above 15 years of age. The capital invested was 
$2,118,208,769 ; the raw material consumed had a value of $2,488,427,242 ; the wages paid amounted 
to $775,584,343 ; and the value of the products was $1,232,325,442. Deducting Irom this enormous 
amount the cost of raw materials, the profit realized by the manufacturing industry during the 
year was $1,743,898,200, or $45,25 per head to the population. The increase of this great branch 
of industry dui'ing the last decade has been unprecedented.

28 THE UNITED STATES OF AMEEICA. 

The manufacture of Cotton Ooods is one of the oldest hranches of industry in the United State?. 
It properly began with the erection of the first water frame for spinning, in Rhode Island, 
in 1790 ; but since then it has increased even more rapidly than the production of the raw mate- 
rial. In 1850 there were employed 3,633,693 spindles ; and the total product had a value of $05,501,- 
C87. Ten years later the number of spindles in operation was 5,235,727, and the value of products, 
$115,681,774. By 1870 the spindles had increased to 7,132,415, and the value of products to $177,489,739 ; 
of which Massachusetts produced one-third, or $59,493,153. The states next in rank, us regards the 
production of cotton goods, Avere Khode Island, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Connecticut, 
Maine, and New Jersey. The Printed Cotton andWoollen Ooods had a value of $54,440,044. 

The value of Woolen Ooods in 1870 was $155,405,358, against $61,894,986 in 1860, and $43,207,545 in 1850, 
The leading states in this branch ot industry were Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, 
New Hampshire, and Maine. The census report enumerates fifteen different articles manufac- 
tured in this country, among which flannels, cloths, cassimeres, blankets, tweeds, and twills 
occupied the first places. 

The manufacture of Silk Goods has doubled during the last decade. The census for 1860 returned 
for the total value of products, $6,607,771 ; and the census of 1870, $12,210,662. In the former year the 
production was limited to sewing silk and twist : in the latter there were manufactured 1,026,422 
yards of silk goods, 3,224,264 yards of sUk ribbon, 370,031 pounds of machine silk, and 127,590 
pounds of spool silk.

X. MIJriNG. 
The United States is probably the richest country in the world, as regards the useful and 
precious minerals. Tho Appalachian ranges and tho Mississippi valley have immense coal 
fields, inexhaustible deposits of iron, copper, lead, etc. ; while tlie treasure of precious metals 
in the region of tho Cordilleras is practically AVithout limit. For many years to come the yield 
of our mines will increase, and mining continue to be a great legitimate branch of industry. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMEEICA. 29 

Oold and Silver ■were formerly obtained to a limited extent In Virginia, the Carolinas, and 
Georgia ; and the value of the gold annually mined averaged about $1,000,000. But with the gold 
discoveries in California in 1848 the United States took the first rank in the production of this 
metal, and has maintained it ever since. Mining has been foUowed in the "SVest by several dif- 
ferent methods. Placer mining was the first ; an inexpensive process by which the loose gold 
Is washed out of the alluvial soil. Hydraulic mining is placer mining on a gigantic scale ; and 
this is still a profitable pursuit in California. The chief process now is quartz mining, by which 
the gold is obtained from the hard rocks (mostly quartz) of tlie auriferous veins. This has be- 
come and will remain for many years a legitimate industry, which, if skillfully conducted, 
will yield regular returns, but no sudden fortunes. Hydraulic and quartz mining require largo 
investments of capital, and hence are mostly carried on by chartered companies, whose shares 
are bought and sold in the market. The history of this commerce in shares began with the die^ 
covery of the rich Washoe mines in Nevada, in 1858; particularly the Comstock Lode. Ta« 
first reports of these discoveries were considered in San Francisco as greatly exaggerated ; bnt 
when some of the ores on their reduction yielded $3,500 per ton, the value of the deposits became 
apparent. With great difllculties, and at an enormous expense, machines, crushing works, and 
food were transported across the Sierra Nevada to Washoe. Several companies were incor- 
porated, and their shares alternately rose and fell. 

From 1860 to 1862 many mines were in successful operation, and at the same time explorations 
were made in various parts of the Great Basin, and new districts were discovered, as Esmer- 
alda, Silver Mountain, Humboldt, Owen River, and others. In 1862 the deposits on the Colorado 
and Reese rivers were found ; and as the news of these discoveries reached San Francisco, the 
exciteraent rose and in the spring of 1863 attained its climax. All classes of persons rushed into 
the wildest speculation. Merchants, physicians, and lawyers hastened to invest their savings in 
mining shares. Even women participated in the general mania. Then followed a general 
reaction. It became known that many mines were worthless. All mining shares fell greatly 
in price, and many lost their value altogether. The shares of the Wide West, Sheba, and 
Darsey (three of the better mines), for example, which during the excitement had risen to 
$580, $500, and $800 respectively, fell to $65, $70, and $90. This was a reduction of from $3,500,000 to 
$393,000 for the aggregate value of the three mines named. The reaction had a favorable in- 
fluence on the mming industry of the West. Capitalists became more cautious, 'and before 
making investments, had the mines thoroughly examined. Those wild speculations which so 
greatly impaired confidence in this interest are now rare, and fluctuations in stock have 
gradually narrowed down to a limited range. 

The total value of the gold and silver products of the western mines was estimated by J. Boss 
Browne, in his report to the Secretary of the Treasury, as follows :

Quicksilver is found only in the coast ranges of California. The New Almaden Mine produced 
from January to August, 1867, 31,061 flasks, of 75 Spanish pounds each ; the New Idria Mine yielded 
for the first six months of the same year 5,014 flasks, and the Reddington Mine, 55 miles N. W. of 
Napa, yielded up to January, 1867, 9,009 flasks, sellingfor a total of $344,594. The export of quick- 
silver increased from 9,000 flasks, in 1860, to 42,000 flasks, in 1865. 

Copper is mined chiefly in Michigan and Wisconsin, near the coast of Lake Superior. The pro- 
duction in 1860 was 14,432 tons, which were worth $3,316,516. The most productive Lead mines arfl 



so THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa. Those of Missouri yield nearly half of the entire product of the 
country, which was In ISliO about 9,000 tons, of $977,281 In value. Zinc and Nickel are found only 
In Pennsylvania, which produced, in 1860, 11,800 tons of zinc, of $73,600 in value. 

Coal. The total extent of all productive coal fields thus far known in the United States is 125,000 
square miles, and embraces the following areas : 

1. The Appalachian coal field, covering parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Eastern Ken- 
tucky, Kastern Tennessee, and Alabama. The workable area is estimated at 60,000 square miles. 
In tlie center of Pennsylvania, between PottsvUlc and Wyoming, are the famous anthracite beds, 
divided into many distinct patches ; and in the western part commences the great bituminous 
coal field, which spreads westward into Ohio and southward to Alabama. 

2. The Illinois and Missouri coal fields, covering a very considerable part of Illinois, Indiana, 
and Kentucky, and west of the Mississippi river, portions of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Ar- 
kansas. Their estimated area is also about 60,000 sq. mis. 

3. The Michigan coal fields, situated about the center of the lower peninsula, and embrecirff 
an area of about 5,000 sq. mis. 

4. The Texas coal field, covering the northern and north-western counties. 

5. The Wyoming coal field, of unknown area, which s'hpplies, to a large extent, the Union 
Pacific railroad. 

6. A small coal field of about 1,000 sq. mis. in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, between Provi- 
dence and Worcester. 

The amount of anthracite and semi-anthracite coal sent to market in 1870 was, according to 
the Jrinei-s' Journal, 15,368,437 tons, an increase over 1869 of 1,716,090 tons. Inaddition to this there 
were consumed in the collieries 3,842,876 tons. 

Tlic total product of bituminous coal for 1870 was 34,179,778 tons. 

Petroleum or coal oil first attracted attention about 15 j^ears ago. In 1857 the first well was sunk 
near Titusville,on Oil Creek, in Pennsylvania ; and at a depth of 70 feet the oil was struck, which 
yielded a steady flow of 400 gallons per day. In 1860 the number of wells in this region was up- 
ward of 2,000, 72 of which yielded a daily product of 1,165 barrels, of 33 gallons each. From that 
time petroleum became one of the great staple articles of commerce, immense quantities 
being consumed at home or exported to Europe, 

The total shipments have been for the last 10 years as {ollowa : 

In 1861 1,500,000 gallons. In 1866 67,430,451 gallons. 

In 1862 10,S87,701 " In 1867 67,0.52,020 " 

In 1863 28,2.50,721 " In 18()8 99,281,7.50 " 

In 1864 31,872.927 " In 1869 102 748,604 

In 1865 29,805,523 " In 1870 141,208,155 " 



Total exi30i-t in 10 years 580,037,852 gallons. 

At an average of 25 cts. per gallon, including ci-ude and refined, for the whole period, this 
■would give a total valuation of $145,009,474, or at 20 cts. per gallon, $116,007,579, which has been 
added to the exports of the country from an article unknown to commerce 12 years ago. 

The Valley of Oil Creek, a tributary of the Alleghany river, is the principal oil region of the 
country. It produced in 1869 the enormous number of 393,136 Ijarrels, and in 1870, 471,657 barrels. 

XI. COMMERCE. 

The commerce of the United States has gi-own at the most extraordinary rate during the last 
deofide, keeping fully abreast witli the increase of population, manufactures, and general wealth 
of the country. 

In the year 1700 the exi>orts of the colonies amounted to £395,000, and the imports to £341,000. 
In 1793 these values had risen respectively to $20,753,093 and $31,-500,000, and in 1807, to $108,343,1.50 and 
$138,500,000. Then followed a period of commercial depression, brought about by tlio "Decrees of 
Berlin and Milan," and the "Embargo," and up to ilio year 1830 the exports ar.d imports averaged 
about $78,000,000. The crisis of 1837 was succeeded by a decline which reached its lowest point in 
1842. Here the figures rise again, slowly at first, more rapidly afterward, with but a brief inter 
ntplion in consequence of the crisis of 1857. 

In 1860 the exports amounted to $4(0,122,290; the imports to $302,16.3,440. 

" 1863 " " 229,038,975; " 205,819,823. 

" 1864 " " 340,665,580; " 328,514,-559. 

" 1866 " " 437,641,357; " 565,426,394. 

In the year ending .Juno 30, 1870, the United States imported goods to the value of $-541,493,X'« 
and erriorted goods to the value of $590,978,.550. Of this amount the value of domestic oxiiorts 
was >5'iA."\8,651, and of foreign exports, $28,459,SS>9. Tlie principal ports of thec<)untry participate*!

New York absorbs 58.8 per cent of the total foreign commerce of tlie country. Its pre-eminence 
is owing to the geographical position of the city, her magnificent liarbor and her excellent con- 
nections with the interior by rail and canal. The Erie Canal, which connects New York with 
the Great Lalces, is the only water communication which intersects the whole breadth of the Ap- 
palachian System from east to west.

If we deduct $28,459,899, the value of re-exportation, from the total value of imports, there 
remain for consumption in this country articles of foreign production to the value of $513,033,- 
809, or $13.32 per head to the population. . In 1865 the consumption per head was $9.28 ; in 1860, 
$9.04 ; and in 1850, $7.53. In Great Britain it was, in 1869, $46.40 ; in 1865, $45.40 ; and in 1860, $36.00. 

The exports of the United States consist chiefly of agricultural and mining products and manu- 
factures. In the year ended June 30, 1871, they exported :

The tonnage of our merchant fleet was 1,042,404 in 1804; 1,232,502 in 1810; 1,298,958 in 1820, and 
1,267,847 in 1830. During the next fifteen years it doubled ; numbering 2,562,084 tons in 1845. In 
1850 it reached 3,535,454 tons ; m 1365, 5,212,001 ; and attained its gi-eatest development in 1861, when 
It numbered 5,.539,813 tons. The southern insurrection, the British recognition of the Southera 
States as belligerents, and the depredations of Southern cruisers, l)ore with crushing weight on the 
shipping interests of the United States. Many ships were captured and destroyed, and many 
more passed into foreign hands. Oflicial returns show that our ocean commerce is being carried 
more and more in foreign bottoms. In 1860 nearly 71 per cent, of our foreign commerce was in 
American ships ; in 1864 it had decreased to 46 per cent. ; in 1868, to 44 per cent. ; and in 1871, to 38' 
per cent. There is no valid reason why our shipping interest should not rise from its pres-

ent depression and again take the prominent rank it held before the war. The United States 
produce an abundance of iron and of the best sliip timber in the world. American skill and 
Ingenuity have produced tlie best ship models known. Though the high price of labor and mate- 
rials render competition with the older countries of Europe very difficult, yet with the wisest 
congressional enactments, and the most intelligent adjustment of taxes on ship-building mate- 
rials, we may hope soon to re-assume our former position as a maritime nation. 

The number of vessels which entered into the ports of the United States during the year end. 
Ing June 30, 1S71, was 30,10-2, with an aggregate tonnage of 10,009,184. Of these there were 19,406 
foreign vessels, with a tonnage of 6,266,444 or 62),^ per cent. 

During the same year 29,861 vessels of 9,898,482 tons burden cleared from our ports, of which 
li),288 vessels of 6,151,537 tons were foreign. 

The subjoined table exhibits the number of vessels, and their tonnage, which during the abore 
samed year entered, or cleared from, the principal ports of the United States :

It has recently been estimated, that there are on the Great Lakes no less than 5,424 steamers, 
sailing vessels and barges having an aggregate capacity of 717,299 tons, and total value ot $53,- 
343,000. In 1800 there were only l,6i0 vessels of all kinds on those lakes, valued at $23,229,000, and 
having a total capacity of 412,127 tons. 

The domestic commerce of the United States far exceeds the foreign commerce in the amount 
and value of the goods bought or sold. But as there is no bureau, official or unofficial, in which 
the movements of goods are registered, it is impossible to obtain statistics embracing the 
whole field. Our ocean coasts measure 33,633 miles (exclusive of Alaska) ; the lake shores, 3,620 
miles ; and the Mississippi, with Its tributaries, has a network of navigable waters extend- 
ing over 35,650 miles, to which the other navigable streams add nearly 50,000 miles. The combined 
length of our canals is over 6,000 miles, and of railroads, 65,000 miles. Thus our country possesses 
an aggregate of great commercial highways, open to steam communication, exceediiig 190,000 
miles in length. And all these roads and water ways carry vast quantities of goods and etfect 
the interchange of commodities between the dilferent parts of the country. The Southern 
states send their cotton to the factories of the North, and receive in return northern manufac- 
tures ; the surplus of the western grain moves to the Atlantic seaboard, to be consumed in the 
densely populated states of the east, or to be shipped to foreign lands ; the Pennsylvania coal 
fields furnish the households and steam engines of the New England and Middle states with 
fuel ; and the forests of Maine, Wisconsin, and Michigan supply the great lumber markets of Port- 
land, Albany, Chicago, and other cities. 

XII. RAIIiROAI>S, TEI-EGRAPHiS, AND CANAI-S. 

The wonderful progress of the United States is clearly shown by the development of the rail- 
road system. In 1830 the first 23 miles were opened for use ; during the decade ending 1840, 3,513 
miles were added ; in that ending 1850, 5,508 ; in that ending 1860, 21,614 ; and in that ending 1870, 
23,761 (notwithstanding the civil war, which occupied a part of this decade). At present the mile- 
age probably exceeds 68,000, the constriiction of which cost in round numbers about $.'5,2.iO,000,000,- 
or $50,000 per mile. The mileage of all European railroads in 1871 was 66,135; of which Great Bri- 
tain had 15,144 ; Germany, 12,304 ; France, 10,035; Russia, 6,989 ; Austria, 6,325 ; .and Italy, 3,W8. Thus 
the time is near at hand when our railroads will exceed in length those of all Europe combined. 

In 1872 there were 346 incorporated railroad companies, the most important of which ate

The IHegrajih sevvico in the United States is performed by seven separate associations, whiea 
were estimated on the 1st of January, 1873, to have a total length of lines of 80,000 miles ; of wire* 



36 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

180,000 miles ; 6,300 stations ; and an aggregate nominal capital of $00,000,000. The most important 
of these associations is the " Western Union Telegraph Companj'," which is a consolidation ol 
most of the telegraph interests of the country prior to 1S66. This companj', on the 1st of July, 
1S7'2, controlled and operated 63,032 miles of line, 137,190 miles of wire, and 5,237 stations. Of thia 
aggregate 1,212 miles of line were in 'Sew Brunswick and Xova Scotia, and .512 miles of lino ia 
British Columbia ; leaving G0,30S miles of lino, and 133,936 miles of vdre, in the United States. 
There is probably no village of any importance in the country which is not within easy reach of 
telei^raphic communication ; and yet the construction of new lines is progressing uninterruptedly. 

7 be Oanals of national importance are those which connect the seaboard with the great cen- 
tral region of the St. Lawrence and Mississippi valleys. Foremost amongst these is the JSrie 
Candl, which was constructed from 1817 to 1822, under the direction of DeWitt Clinton, Governor 
of New York. It connects Albany at the head of navigation of the Hudson river, with Buflfalo 
oij the eastern extremity of Lake Erie, following the direction of the Mohawk valley, and thus 
in connection with Hudson River forms an uninterrupted water communication between 
Now York city and the Great Lakes. The total length of the canal is about 370 miles, which is, 
however, greatly increased by the numerous branches, extending in various directions. One of 
tbsso connects Rochester with the Alleghany river. New York city owes its pre-eminence as the 
oomoiercial metropolis of our country chiefly to this canal. 

The Pennsylvania Canal consists of the central division, which connects Columbia on the Sus- 
qnehanna river, with Hollidaysburg at the foot of the Alleghany Mountains ; and the western 
division, which connects Pittsburgh with Johnstown. The distance of 37 miles intervening 
between Johnstown and Hollidaysburg is traversed by a portion of the Pennsylvania railroad. A 
branch canal extends from Wrightsviile, opposite Columbia, along the lower course of Sus- 
quehanna River to Havre de Grace, on Chesapeake Bay ; and other lines follow the tipper Susque- 
hanna, terminating at Bellefonte and "West Nanticoke. The commerce in coal and other min- 
eral products of Pennsylvania Itas been greatly facilitated by this extensive canal system. The 
CTiesapeake and Ohio Canal is designed to connect Chesapeake Bay with the Ohio river, and has 
thus far been completed from Alexandria and Georgetown along the Potomac river to Cumber- 
land. The James River and Kanaivha Canal connects Richmond with Buchanan, Va., and follows 
the James River valley. The numerous other canals in the United States are chiefly of local 
importance, and their description M'ill be found in the articles on the states in which they are 
situated. 

XIII. EDUCATION. 

The people of the United States have always recognized the paramount importance of educa- 
tion and mental culture. Twenty years after the first tree was felled and the first block-house 
buUt in New England, the settlers of Massachusetts, though neither numerous nor wealthy, 
founded Harvard University. This glorious example was soon followed in other colonies, and 
the spirit thus early manifested pervades the entire nation. In no country in the world is 
there a larger amount of money expended for purposes of education by communities or jirivate 
citizens; and certainly the excellence of our school buildings and other appurtenances is 
unequaled. In 1S71 beuefactions and donations from private citizens to educational establish- 
ments amounted to the large sum of $8,592,000. 

The general system of education originated in New England, where as early as 1G28 provision 
was made for the education of every child in the settlements. In 1G37 a school was ordered to be 
provided for every neighborhood of .50 families, and another of a higher grade of instruction for 
every 100 families. These schools were maintained by taxes raised in each district. The New 
England system of public schools has been adopted with but slight modifications by nearly aU 
the states of the Union. The Federal Government has no voice in the management or establish- 
ment of schools, and there is consequently in the cabinet no Minister or Secretai-y of Public 
Instruction, as in nearly all European governments ; but Congress has aided the cause of 
education by reserving for the school fund of each state one section of land (of 610 acres) out of 
every township of the public domain. The amount of land thus appropriated or reserved for 
school purposes approaches nearly 12,000,000 acres. The older states have besides large per- 
manent school funds ; but the maintenance of the schools is secured chiefly by direct taxation, 
which is voted in all the states with great libei-ality. 

The instruction given in the common schools is elementary and comprises readmg, writing, 
arithmetic, geography, and an outline of the history of the United States. There arc, however, 
numerous public and private schools of a higher grade in the cities and many country districts, 
such as grammar schools, high schools, and mstitutions of secondary Instruction, where, in addi- 
tion to the elementary branches, Latin, German, French, mathematics, and the rudiments of tho 
natural sciences are taught. In nearly all the states there are normal schools for the purpose of 
training competent teachers.

Colleges and Universities in which the classical and scientific or professional branches of learn- 
ing are taught, abound in the United States to an extraordinary extent. The report of the Com- 
missioner of Education for 1S71 enumerates 372 collegiate institutions which are authorized to 
confer academic degrees ; 56 agricultiiral and scientific schools ; 117 theological semiuai'ies ; 40 law 
schools ; 94 medical, dental and pharmaceutical schools ; 1.36 female colleges ; and 84 commercial 
and business colleges ; and this enumeration is probably not complete. Many of these institu- 
tions are necessarily limited in means and performance, and yet await a fuller development and 
a wider scope ; but there are also many with ample eudowraents and generous aims, which have 
greatly raised the standard of literary and scientific excellence. Such institutions as Yale, Har- 
vard, and Princeton universities, the state University of Miclngan, Columbia College in New 
York, and some others, are subjects of just pride to every American, and enjoy a well-desei-ved 
fame throughout the civilized world. A real university reauires vast sums of money for its or- 
ganization and management, and in tliose countries where the true idea of a university is best 
comprehended, the available means and forces are concentrated upon a few lai-ge institutions. 
The recognition of this fact is rapidly gaining ground in the United States, and instead of mul- 
tiplying the already too large number of small colleges, it is becoming more and more the policy 
to unite and combine those existing. 

Harvard College is the oldest institution of learning in the country. It was founded in 1636 and 
embraces, 1, an academical department, including regular courses of religion, philosophy, 
rhetoric and oratory, history, modern languages, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, natural history, physi- 
ology, chemistry and mineralogy, physics and mathematics ; 2, a divinity school; 3, a lav,- school ; 
4, a medical school ; 5, the Lawrence Scientific School aiid school of mining and practical geol- 
ogy ; 6, a school of astronomy ; and 7, a dental school. It is situated in Cambridge, near Boston, 
iias 76 professors, and was attended in 1871 by 643 students. The library contains 176,000 volumes 
and is one of the richest in the country. Yale College, in New Haven, Conn., was established 
62 years later than Harvard, and embraces, 1, an academical department ; 2, the Sheffield Scientific 
School; 3, a theological department; 4, a law department; 5, a medical department, and 6, a 
school of the Fine Arts. The number of professors and instructors in 1871 was 68, and of studeut3

810. The college possesses libraries witli a total of near 100,000 volumes, valuable nuneralogical, 

geological, botanical and zoological collections, an astronomical observatory, and an excellent 
chemical laboratory. 

Cohunbia College, in New York, was chartered In 1754, and is a wealthy institution. It em- 
braces, 1, a school of letters and science; 2, a school of mines, and 3, a law school; and has 34 
professors and about 300 students. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of the city of New 
York, with 28 i>rofessors and 328 students, is connected with Columbia College. 

The subjoined table contains a list of those colleges which, according to the report of the Com- 
missioner of Education, had over ten teachers during the year 1871 :

The report of the Commissioner of Education enumerates 68 agricultural and scientific schools, 
the more important of which are associated with and form parts of older colleges and universi- 
ties. Many of them, however, have been founded on an independent basis. Those scientLflc 
institutions which received government aid by land grants number twentv-four, with ISO pro- 
fessors and over 2,000 students. 

The only schools maintained by the Federal Government are the United States Military Acad- 
emy and the United States Naval Academy. The former is situated at West Point, on the Hud- 
son river, in the midst of scenery unsurpassed for picturescLue beauty. It was established In 
1802, and nearly all the officers of the regular army have there received their education and train- 
ing. The superintendent is usually an army officer of high rank. His military staff con.sists of 
an adjutant, quartermaster, treasurer, surgeon, and two assistant surgeons. The academic staff 
consists of the commandant of the cadets, who is also instructor of tactics, eight professors, and 
thirty-one assistant professors and instructoi-s. The number of pupils is 227. The discipline is 
strict, and the instruction very thorough, including the following branches : Military tactics, 
engijieering, natural and experimental philosophy, mathematics, drawing, chemistry, miner- 
alogy and geology, ethics and law, the French and Spanish languages, ordnance and gunnery. 
Candidates for admission to the Academy must be over 17 and under 22 years of age, and pass an 
examination in reading, writing, the elements of arithmetic, English grammar, geography, and 
the history of the United States. 

The Naval Academy, situated at Annapolis, Md., is under the charge of a superintendent, assist- 
ed by eight naval officers. The academic staff includes 67 professors and assistant professors who 
teach seamanship, mathematics, steam-engineering, astronomy and navigation, natural phil- 
osophy, ethics and English studies, the French and Spanish languages, and drawing. The num- 
ber of pupils is 253. Candidates for admission must be between 14 and 18 years of age, and must 
pass an examination similar to that which is required for admission into the military academy. 

Notwithstanding the great efforts of communities, associations, and individuals, to promote the 
cause of education in the United States, the number of adults who cannot read and write is still 
very large. According to the census for 1870 there are in the U. S. 5,658,144 illiterates over 10 years 
of age who cannot read or write ; that is, between 14 and 15 per cent, of the entire population. 
This proportion places our country, in regard to the dissemination of elementary education, far 
)n advance of England, France, Italy ; but it is sufficiently unfavorable to arrest the attention 
of every intelligent American citizen. The largest contingents to this army of illiterates are 
furnished by the colored people of the Southern states, formerly held in bondage, and those im- 
migrants who come from countries where popular education is notoriously neglected. Yet the 
soinainder of native whites who cannot read and write is much larger than the number of 



iO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

elementary schools in the country would seem to waiTant. In some places the school accommo. 
dations arc as yet inadequate, notably in the Southern states and the more sparsely inhat;i ted 
districts of the new territories. In others, however, educational facilities are abundant, but 
regular school attendance is not sufficiently enforced by those having the care of children. To 
remedy the evils consequent upon such neglect, legislation to compel attendance is recom- 
mended, and has been carried out in some localities. 

The distribfition of illiterates is, however, very unequal In the various sections of the country. 
In northern New England, central New York, northern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, 
southern Michigan, and the hirger portion of Iowa, the percentage of illiterates to the whole popu- 
lation la less than 5 per cent. ; and varies in the remainder of the states north of the Missouil 
and Ohio rivers, from 5 to '20. The broad belt of country extending from Chesapeake Bay throxxgh 
the Cwoliiuis, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and Texas, 
has a percentage of illiterates varying from 20 to CO ; but includes extensive tracts, where it rises 
to over 60 per cent. 

Libi-aries.—Tho Americans ai-e a nation of readers. In the northern and western states books 
are found iu almost every household, and works of a religious or popular character are issued in 
immense editions and sold all over the couutrj'. The sales of some works have reached tho 
enormous number of 200,000 copies and over. The census for 1870 gives the number of libraries in 
the United States as 104,81.'), containing 45,52S,93S volumes. Of these libraries 108,800, with 26,072, 
420 vohimes, are private; and 55,015, with 19,459,518 volumes, are public. Large as these numbers 
may appear, they are far below the truth. The Commissioner of the Census remarks, that iu 
I'espectto certain states, the figures returned by the marshals were ludicrously disproportionate. 
Thus, for example, for the state of Connecticut, no returns of private Libraries were made at all, 
the deputy marshal reporting that no extra information could be obtained. The Congressional 
Library in Washington, probably the largest collection of books in the country, contained, In 
1870, 190,000 volumes. The number of volumes in the libraries, both public and private, was, 
in Pennsylvania, 6,477,840; in Now York, 6,310,302; in Ohio, 3,687,363 ; in Illinois, 3,323,914 ; in Mas- 
sachusetts, 3,017,813; in Michigan, 2,174,744 ; in Kentucky, 1,909,230 ; in Maryland, 1,713,483 ; in 
Indiana, 1,125,553; in Virginia, 1,107,313 ; and in Missouri, 1,065,638. The liln-aries of the follo\ving 
States contained from 600,000 to 1,000,000 volumes : Alaljama, District of Columbia, Iowa, Louisi- 
ana, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, 
and Wisconsin. Wyoming and Arizona contain the least number of books, barely exceeding 
2,000 in all libraries. 

27te JPt-ess.— The, aggregate of the newspapers and periodicals published in the United States, in 
1870, wart 5,871, issuing tho enornrous number Of 1,508,548,250 copies per annum, and having a total 
circulation of 20,842,475. Tlie average of copies issued during the year was 40 single numbers for 
every head of the population, and one newspaper and periodical was published for every 6,800 In- 
habitants. Of the aggregate number (5,871) there were 574 dailies, 107 tri-weeklies, 115 semi-week- 
lies, 4295 weeklies, 96 semi-monthlies, 622 monthlies, 13 bi-monthlies, and 49 quarterlies. Of the 
various interests represented, politics engrossed by far the largest number, viz. ; 4,333. The 
remainder comprised 93 agricultural journals ; 81 devoted to benevolent or secret societies; 142 
commercial and fluancial journals; 503 illustrated, literary, and miscellaneous ; 407 religious ; 6 
sporting ; 207 technical and professional ; while 79 contained only advertisements. 

XIV. GOVERNMENT. 

Tho United States is a federation of repixblican commonwealths, resting upon the broad basis 
of democratic institutions. The government of the United States was erected by the joint will 
of the people of the original thirteen colonies. In May, 1775, a congi-ess assembled in Philadelphia, 
and on the 4th of July of the following year issued the memorable Declaration of Indei)endenco, 
followed by a war with Great Britain, at the end of which the colonies were absolved from all 
allegiance to the British crown and became free and independent states. After protracted delib- 
erations. Congress on the 15th of November, 1777, agreed to the articles of confederation, but it was 
not until tlie 1st of March 1781, that these articles received the unanimous approval of all the 
states. Tho fundamental defect in this confederation was. that the decrees of the federal coun- 
oil were held subject to the states in their sovereign capacity. The council framed laws for poll- 
tical communities aud not for private individuals, and was clothed with no power to enforce its 
laws upon these political communities or states. The only coercion for disobedience was mili- 
tary force, instead of the decree and the arm of the civil magistrate. In May, 1787, delegates of all 
the states, except llhode Island, assembled iir general convention at Philadelphia, for the pur- 
pose of revising and amending the articles of confederation ; aud after several months of peace- 
ful deliberation agreed upon the plan of government which now forms the Constitution of tho 
United States. It was submitted in each state to a convention of delegates chosen for the piij-- 
pose, but over a year elapsed before it received the ratitlcation of a sufficient number of slates to 
give it a political existence, and nearly three years before it received the unanimous ratiflcatloa 
of all tho states aud thus bedamo the supreme law of the land. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 41 

The Constitution as originally framed consists of seven articles. It determines the legal rela- 
tions between the federal government, on the one hand, and the state governments, on the other, 
and makes hut little reference to the riglits or duties of individual citizens. With the progress 
of time fifteen supplementary articles or " amendments" have been added, and nearly all of these 
define personal rights of individuals. 

The government, according to the Constitution, is composed of three distinct branches : the 
legislative, the judicial, and the executive. 

The lieslslatlv© power is vested in Congress. The Constitution defines it to be " the power 
lo make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution aU powers vested in the gcv- 
err ment or in any department or officer thereof." 

1 he principal powers of Congress are : to lay and collect taxes and duties uniformly throughout 
the United States ; to borrow money on the credit of the United States ; to regulate commerce 
with foreign nations and between the several states ; to establish a uniform rule of naturaliza- 
tion and uniform laws of bankruptcy ; to coin money and fix the standard of weights and meas- 
ures ; to establish post-offlces and post-roads ; to declare war and grant letters of marcine ; to 
raise and maintain armies and a navy, and to make rules for their government ; to provide for 
organizing, arming and diseiptiiiing the militia, and to govern such as may be employed in the 
service of the United States ; to exercise exclusive legislation over the district in which is 
placed the seat of government of the United States, and over all places purchased for the 
erection of forts, arsenals and dock-yards. 

The Constitution prescribes the following i-estrictions upon the power of Congress : The privi- 
lege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when, in cases of rebellion or 
invasion, the public safety may require it ; no bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be 
passed ; no capitation or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the oflicial census 
enumeration ; no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the 
ports of one state over those of another, nor shall vessels bound to or from one state pay duties 
in another ; no money shall be drawn from the treasury except in consequence of appropria- 
tions made by law ; nor shall any law be enacted respecting an establishment of religion, or pro- 
hibiting the exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of 
the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances ; nor 
shall the validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts 
incurred for payment of pensions and bounties, be questioned ; and neither the United States 
nor any state shall pay any debt incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United 
States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave. 

Congress consists of two branches : the Senate and the House of Representatives. 

The Senate is composed of two Senators from each state, chosen by the legislature thereof, for 
a term of six years. No person can be elected Senator who is under thirty years of age, and 
who has not been a citizen of the United States for nine years, and who is not, when elected, a 
citizen of the state for which he is chosen. The Senate has sole power to try impeachments, and 
when sitting for that purpose is under oath like courts of justice. If the Tresident bo tried, 
the Chief Justice of the United States is to preside. Tlie Senate has power to ratify or reject 
treaties with foreign powers, and it requires the concurrence of two-thirds of the senators pre- 
sent to authorize the President to make a treaty. The advice and consent of the Senate is 
necessary to confirm appointments made by the President. The Senate cannot originate 
any bill for raising revenue, but may propose amendments or concur in such bill. The Vice- 
president of the United States is ex officio president of the Senate. In his absence the Senate 
elects a president pro tempore. It further elects a secretary to record its proceedings, a sergeant- 
at-arms to attend and to arrest offenders, and a door-keeper to guard the entrance to the Senate 
Chamber. 

The House of Representatives is composed of members chosen every second year by the people 
of the several states.* A representative must have attained the age of 25 years, and must be a 
citizen and an inhabitant of the state for which he is chosen. The House chooses its own speaker, 
clerk, sergeant-at-arms, door-keeper, and other officers. It has exclusive power to originate bills 
for raising revenue. 

In ordinary legislative matters the powers and duties of both houses of Congress are legislative 
and advisory, but not judicial and executive. 

*The representatives are apportioned among the several states according to their respective number of inhabl 
tants. After each decennial census, Congress re-adjusts the proportion of population entitled to a represen- 
tative, and fixes anew the whole number of representatives, leaving the manner and time of state apportion- 
ment to the states themselves. Under the apportionment fixed subsequent to the census of 1870 the states became 
entitled to the following number of representatives respectively : Ala. 8 ; Ark. 4 ; Cal. 4 ; Conn. 4 ; Del. 1 ; Fla. 
2; Ga. 9; 111.19; Ind. 13; Iowa, 9; Kan. 3; Ky. 10; La. 6; Me. 5; Md. 6; Mass. H; Mich. 9; Mln. 3; Miss. 6; Mo,

42 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

TI»e Judicial Power of the United States is vested in one Supreme Court, and in such 
inferior courts as Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The j udicial power extends 
over all cases in law and equity arising under the Constitution, the laws of the United States, and 
treaties made under their authority ; to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and 
consuls; to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to controversies to -which the 
United States may be a party; to controversies between two or more states, between citizens 
of different states, between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different 
elates, and between a state and a citizen thereof, or of a foreign state. 

In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a 
Btate may be a party, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction. In all other cases before men- 
tioned, the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such excep- 
tions as Congress may make. 

The Supreme Court is the highest judicial tribunal in the United States. It is composed of a 
cliief justico and eight associate justices. The former presides in the court, regulates tlie order 
of business, controls the docket, and assigns to his associates the cases in which they are to pre- 
pare opinions. The chief justice and the associates hold their places for life, or during good 
behavior. 

The United States is divided into nine judicial circuits, in each of which a circuit court is held 
twice every year, for each state within the circuit, by a justice of the Supreme Court assigned 
to the circuit, and by the district judge of the state or district in which the court sits. 

The circuit courts have both original and appellate jurisdiction. They have concurrent jurisdic- 
tion with the state courts, where the matter in dispute exceeds the sum of $500, and the United 
States are plaintiffs or where an alien is a party, or Mdiere the controversy is between citi- 
zens of different states. They have exclusive jurisdiction in all cases of crimes against the laws of 
the United States, except where the law especially confers the power npon other courts. The 
district courts have original jurisdiction in all admiralty cases, and in most of the cases arising 
in custom-houses, and those growing out of bankruptcies. 

The Court of Claims was established in 1856. Before this time, persons who had claims against 
the government, which the departments refused to pay, had no remedy except by petition to 
Congress. This remedy, however, was in many cases unavailing or altogether delusive. Since 
the establishment of this court, a citizen may enforce his claims against the government as 
against another citizen, by legal process. The court consists ot live judges, who are appointed 
by the President, and hold their places during good behavior. In all matters and suits the gov- 
ernment is represented by the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and two Assistant Attor- 
neys-General. The court has jurisdiction of claims founded upon a law of Congress, the i-egula- 
tion of an executive department, or of contracts express or implied, and of counter claims by the 
government. 

Tiie Executive Power is vested in the President, who is chosen by electors, each state being 
entitled to as manj'^ as it has senators and representatives in Congress. His term of office is 
four j'ears. The Vice-president, Avho is ex officio president of the Senate, is chosen at tht; same 
time and in the same manner as the President. The Constitution requires that both these 
officers shall be native-born citizens of the United States, and that they shall have attained 
the age of 35 years, and have been 14 years residents of the United States. 

The President is commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and of the militia of the several 
states when called into the service of the United States. He has power to grant reprieves and 
pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. He has also the 
power, by and with the advice of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the sena- 
tors present concur. The President nominates, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, 
appoints the officers of government ; as ambassadors or public ministers and consuls, judges 
of the Supremo Court, and all executive officers of the government, except those whoso appoint- 
ment is otherwise provided for by the Constitution. The President receives foreign ministers 
and grants the exequatur to foreign consuls. He communicates to Congress by message at the 
opening of every session the condition of the country, and recommends such measures as he 
deems expedient. 

Every order, vote, or bill which requires the action of both Houses (except the resolution to 
adjourn) must be presented to the President for his signature and approval. It becomes a law 
if he appends his signature. The President has the power to veto any bill or resolution passed 
by both Houses. He does this by returning it to the House Avhere it originated, with a written 
message, stating his objections or reasons wliy he believes it ought not to become a law. If 
however. Congress then passes the bill by a majority of two-thirds of the members, it becomes 
a. law notwithstanding the President's veto. The Constitution directs that the President shall 
take care that the laws be faithfully executed. In the discharge of his duties he is assisted by 
the highest executive officers, each of whom presides over one of the departments of gov 
eniment. These are collectively called the C«6»ie<, consisting of : 1, the Secretary of State; 2, 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 43 

the Secretary of the Treasury ; 3, the Secretary of War ; 4, the Secretary of the Navy ; 5, the Sec- 
retary of the Interior; G, the Postmaster-General, and 7, the Attornej'-General. They are the 
President's constitutional advisers, and twice a week attend a meeting at his office for consulta- 
tion upon the executive duties of the Federal Government, or upon questions of policy. 

The Department of State was created by a law passed in July, 1780, and is presiiled over by 
the Secretary of State, who is, next to the President, the highest executive officer of the gov- 
ernment. This department corresponds to the foreign office in European states, and the office 
of Secretary of State, to tliat of their ministers for foreign affairs. The duties of the Secretary 
are the following: He holds intercoui-se with the ambassadors and ministers of foreign govern- 
ments accredited to ours, and conducts correspondence with them ; he prepares and issues 
instructions to our ministers and consuls abroad, and prescribes regulations for keeping their 
books and records, and receives their reports. He also collects and communicates to Congress 
all commercial information obtained through our ministers and consuls abroad, or from other 
sources. He receives the enrolled acts passed by Congress, that haA^e become laws, and promul- 
gates them. He causes the seal of the United States to be affixed to all civil commissions after 
they have been signed by the President. He has two Assistant Secretaries who perform such 
duties as may be prescribed by him or provided for by law. The other officers of the department 
are the Disbursing Agent, who has charge of its funds and accounts; the Translator, who fur- 
nishes translations of documents as required hy the department ; the Clerk of Appointments 
and Commissions, who makes out and records commissions, nominations to the Senate, exequa- 
turs, etc., and has charge of the department library; the Clerk of Rolls and Archives, who has 
charge of the enrolled acts of Congress as they are received from the President, prepares copies 
thereof, superintends their publication and that of treaties, and has charge of all Indian 
treaties ; and the Clerk of Authentications, who has charge of the seals of the United States and 
of the department, certifies to and authenticates documents, receives and accounts for fees, and 
records all letters other than the diplomatic and consular. 

The diplomatic agents representing our government abroad receive their instructions from 
and report to the Secretary of State. The highest in rank are the Envoys Extraordinary and 
Ministers Plenipotentiary to England, Germany, Prance, Russia, Spain, Austria, Italy, China, 
Mexico, Brazil, Chili, and Peru. Ministers Resident represent the United States in Denmark, 
Sweden and Norway, Netherland, Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland, Hawaiian Islands, Hayti, 
Turkej-, Greece, Japan, Nicai-agua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, New Granada, 
Venezuela, Ecuador, the Argentine Republic, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Liberia. Secreta- 
ries of Legation are authorized in each country where there is a Minister Plenipotentiary or a 
Minister Resident. Assistant secretaries are aiithoi'ized for London and Paris. 

Consuls are public agents, residing in foreign countries, usually at important commercial 
cities and seaports, to watch over the commercial interests of our citizens. Tlie United States 
maintains about 75 consuls in the various parts of the world. 

The Treasury Department is presided over by the Secretary, who is charged with supervi- 
sion of the fiscal transactions and finances of the government, and execution of laws concern- 
ing commerce and navigation, the survey of the coast, the light-house establishment, the marine 
hospitals of the United States, and the construction of public buildings for custom-houses and 
other purposes. The business of the department is distributed among several bureaus, each ol 
which has its specific duties and is under the direction of a responsible chief. 

The First Controller prescribes the mode of keeping and rendering accounts for the civil and 
diplomatic service, and the public lands. 

The Second CbniroZier keeps and renders accounts for the army and navy departments and the 
Indian bureau. 

There are six auditors iu the department, who examine and adjust the accounts of the United 
States with individuals. 

The First Auditor adjusts the accounts of the customs, the revenue, and the appropriations 
and expenditures of the civil list, and reports the balances to the First Controller and the Com- 
missioner of Customs. 

The Second Auditor adjusts all accounts relating to the pay, clothing, and recruiting of the 
army, and those relating to the Indian Department, and reports the balances to the Second 
Controller. 

The Third Auditor adjusts all accounts for subsistence of the army, for fortifications, the military 
academy, military roads, the quarter-master's department, pensions, claims arising from 
military services prior to 1861, for horses and other property lost in the military service, and 
reports the balances to the Second Controller. 

The Fourth Auditor adjusts all accounts for the service of the Navy Department, and reports 
the balances to the Second Controller. 

The Fifth Auditor adjusts all accounts for the diplomatic and consular services under the direc- 
tion of the State Department, and reports the balances to the First Controller.

Tho l^xth Auditor adjusts all accounts ai'islug from the service of tlie Post-offlce Department. 
His decisions are final, unless an appeal is taken -within 12 months to the First Controller. He 
also directs ■writs and legal proceedings to enforce the prompt payment of moneys due to the 
department. He has cliarge of all lands and property assigned to the United States in payment 
of debts to 1 he Post-offlce Department. 

The Commissioner of Customs prescribes the mode of keeping and rendering the accounts of 
customs, revenue, and disbursement, and for the building and repairing of cu*t»m-houses. 

The Treasurer receives and keeps the moneys Of the United States in his office, and disburses 
tile same upon warrants drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury, countersigned by the lirat 
Conti oiler, and upon warrants drawn by the Postmaster-General, countersigned by the Sixth 
Auditor, 

'file Registe" keeps the accounts of public receipts and expenditures ; receives the returns of 
commerce and navigation ; and receives from the Fii'st Controller and Commissioner of Cus- 
toms all accounts and vouchers adjusted by them. 

The Solicitor superintends all civil writs commenced by the United States (except those arisuig 
in the Post Office Department). He receives returns from each term of the United States courts, 
showing the progress of such suits, has charge of all land and property assigned to the United 
States in payment of debts (except those assigned for debts due the Post-offlce Department), and 
has power to sell and dispose of the same for the benefit of the United States. 

Tho Commissioner of Internal Revemte has charge of all matters connected with the tax laws 
and the collection of the direct taxes. The number of officers of the Treasury J)epartment 
employed in Washington exceeds three thousand. 

The Light-House Board is under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, who is ex-offlcio 
president thereof. This Board directs the building and repairing of light-houses, light-vessels, 
buoys, and beacons. The coast is divided into thirteen light-house districts. 

Tho United States Coast Survey is under the administration of the Treasury Department. It 
was established in 1802, for the purpose of surveying the coasts and harbors, and prepai-ing 
accurate maps and charts thereof. The scientific work and opex'ations are carried on by a 
superintendent and a corps of assistants, consisting of civilians and officers of the army and 
navy. 

Collectors.— Thii seaboard frontiers of the United States are divided into 62 collection districts, 
for each of which there is a collector of customs appointed by the President, with the consent of 
the Senate. The collectors issue clearances, or permits to leave, to all vessels sailing from the 
United States ; certify to the correctness of manifests or bills of lading; keep account of vessels 
built within their districts, and make returns to the Register of the Treasury of imports and 
exports. Vessels arriving from foreign ports hand to the collector manifests of their cargoes, on 
which the duties are computed, and before the goods can be landed these duties must be paid 
The collectors are aided in the perfonnance of their various duties by a number of clerks, 
appraisers, weighers, gangers, and inspectors. The importance of these officers will be understood 
when it is known that during the fiscal year ending .Tune 30, 1872, there were collected $216,370,286 
in import duties, which passed through the hands of the collectors. 

For tho larger ports, so-called naval officers are appomted, who countersign all pennits, clear- 
ances, certificates, and other documents to be granted by the collectors ; they also examine the 
collectors, accounts of receipts and expenditures, and certify to them. The surveyors are sta- 
tioned at the larger ports onlj-, and supei-intend the inspectors, weighers, and gaugers, and report 
to the collectors those who fail in the performance of their duties. 

The United States is divided into a large number of internal revenue districts, in each of 
which there is a collector, making assessments and collecting the direct taxes. 

The Mint and Coinage.— The principal mint is at Philadelphia, and branches are at San Fmn- 
cisco and Denver City. In the city of New York there is an assay-office, where gold and silver 
bullion, gold dust, and foreign coins are refined and assayed. The coining of all moneys is per- 
formed undei' regulations prepared by the Secretary of the Treasury. Fifteen pounds of silver 
are declared to be equal to one pound of gold. In coining, one-tenth of alloy is added to the 
gold and silver bullion (silver and copper in equal proportions to the former, copper alone to 
the latter).

The Superintendent of the Coast Survey is ex officio Superintendent of Weights and Measures. 
Avoirdupois weight is used in weighing all articles except gold, silver, and precious stones. The 
pound of this weight is divided into 16 ounces, and one ounce into 16 drachms. One hundred 
pounds constitute a hundi-ed-weight, and 20 hundred-weight, or 2,000 pounds, a ton. Troy 
weight is used in weighing gold, silver, and precious stones. One pound troy weight is divided 
into 12 ounces ; one ounce into 20 pennyweights, and one pennyweight into 24 grains. 

The unit of liquid measure is the gallon. One gallon consists of i quarts ; one quart, of 2 pints ; 
and one pint, of i gUls. The unit ot dry measure is the bushel, which is 18i^ inches in diameter 
by 8 inches deep, and contains 2,150 2-5 cubic inches. One bushel dry measure contains 4 pecks ; 
one peck, 8 quarts ; one quart, 2 pints. 

A brass scale of 82 inches length, made by Troughton, of London, and sent to the Coast Sur- 
vey ofBce in Washington, where it is still preserved, was made the United States standard for 
long measure. This scale, although intended to be identical Avith the English Imperial standard, 
was found, upon careful comparison with eleven carefully made meter-etalons, to differ slightly 
from the English scale. One meter was found to be equal to 39.36850535 United States inches, 
or 3.28070878 American feet ; while it is, according to comparisons made in England, equal to 
3.2808992 English Imperial feet. 

This difference is so slight that it becomes perceptible only in measurements of considerable 
length ; yet it is large enough to justify the use of the term American measure, as distinct from 
English measure. 
The following table gives the values adopted in the United States Coast Survey : 
American Measure. English Measure.

One square mile contains 640 acres, or one section of land; and 36 sections make one town- 
ship. 
Since 1865 Congress has atithorized the use of the French metric system.

reduction of the national debt. The expenditures have considerably decreased during the last three 
years. They amounted to 310 millions in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1S70, and to 29-2 millions 
in the following year. The reduction of import duties has produced a considerable increase in 
the revenue derive<l from this source, ■which amounted to 191 millions, 200 millions, and 210 mil- 
lions respectively for the last throe fiscal years. The revenues from internal taxation have 
decreased for the same years from 1S5 millions to 143 millions and to 131 millions. 

The National Z>eft<.— When, after the war for independence, the charge of the national finances 
was confided to Alexander Hamilton, the consolidated debt of the United States amounted to 
$125,000,000 ; a very heavy burden, considering the sparse population and small wealth of the coun- 
try. But the interest on this lai-go amount was regularly paid, and in 1812 the principal was 
reduced to |45,000,000, when the war with Great Britain raised it to an aggregate of $75,000,000. The 
protective tariff of 1816, 1824, and 1828 increased the revenues of the government, so that in 1836 
every dollar of this debt was paid, and a surplus of iJ3f ,000,000 was accumulated in the treasury. 
At the breaking out of the Mexican war the national debt was $16,750,000 ; but from that time it 
rose until it reached, in 18.')3, $07,341,000. The following year it was reduced to $47,000,000, and in 1857 
it was but .$29,000,000. During Mr. Buchanan's administration the income fell off, and the debt 
again increased to $64,709,703 on the 1st of July 1800. The enormous expenditures for the prose- 
cution of the civil Avar raised the national debt to \inpreeedented figures. It was : 

On July 1st 1861 $ 90,867,829 On July 1st 1867 $2,692.199,21.«(

On the first of October, 1872, the debt had been further reduced to $2,160,994,077, showing a

Secretary of War, who issues commissions, directs the movement of troops, superintends their 
payment, stores, clothing, arms, equipments, and ordnance, and ojonducts the works of military 
engineering. The bui-eaus among which these multifarious duties are distributed are under 
the direction of army officers.

The Signal Office, under the dii-ection of the commander of the signal corps, receives from the 
numerous signal stations established in various localities, reports on the meteoric state of the 
atmosphere, as temperature, winds, moisture, and pressure of the atmosphere. From these 
reports, ti"i-daily forecasts, or "probabilities," are deduced and telegraphed throughout the 
country. Over seventy-eight per cent, of the probabilities issued during the past year have 
been verified, and no great storm has occurred within the United States, or along the seaboard 
•without due premonition bging given to the points thereby threatened. Tlie labors of this office 
have been highly successful, and very frequently have been instrumental in the preservation 
df life and property. 

Army.— By act of Congress the army of the United States is limited to 30,000 enlisted men. The 
term of service is three years. The army, as now organized, is composed of 16 regiments of cav- 
alry, each of 12 companies ; 25 regiments of infantry, each of 10 companies ; 5 regimeuts of artil- 
lery, and one engineer battalion, besides the cadets at the Military Academy at West Point. In

corps. Under his authority are performed the duties of the different bureaus of the department, 
and their orders are considered as emanating from him. He is aided by an Assistant Secretary, 
whose duties are not specified by statute, but are assigned by the Secretary. 

The Bureau of Navy Yards and Bocks has charge of everything connected with the various 
navy yards, docks, wharves, and naval buildings, and also of the Xaval Asylum.

tugs. There were forty-five vessels in commission for sea service, carrying 462 guns, which 
were distributed at different cruising stations, as follows : 

North Atlantic Station. — Eleven vessels, 77 guns. 

SoxUh Atlantic Statio7i.—Ti\voe vessels, 33 guns. 

Eurofitan Station. — Six vessels, 110 guns.

The PoMt-office Department is under the direction of the Po3tmaster-Qener.al, who Is 
aided by three assistant postmasters. 

The First Assistant Postmaster-Oeneral in utthehead of the Appointment Office. He attends to 
the establishment or discontinuance of post-offices, the changes of sites and names of such offices, 
the appointment and removal of postmasters and local agents, and to the instruction given to 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 49 

postmasters. This office further provides for the marking and rating stamps and letter balance 
for postmasters, and blanks and stationery for the use of the department, and has the super- 
vision of the ocean mail-steamship lines, and the international postal arrangement with foreign 
governments. 

There were, in 1873, 31,863 post-offlces in the country, 2,15-2 of which were money-order post-offlces, 
or 1818 more offices than in the preceding year ; and there wei-e issued 655,330,820 letter and news- 
paper postage stamps, which number may be assumed to be nearly identical with the number of 
letters and parcels sent through the mails. The handling of this immense amount of mail mat- 
ter required, besides the 31,863 postmasters, 5,544 contractors, 3,754 clerks, 1,442 carriers, 764 route 
agents, 642 railway postal clerks, 146 mail-route messengers, 95 local agents, and 59 special agents. 
There were thus in the employ of the Post-office Department, 44,655 officials, including the Post. 
master-General and his 345 assistants and clerks, in the General Post-office in Washington. Unr- 
l:ig t he same year 12,774,064 letters were sent to foreign countries, and 11,5S8,436 letters were 
received from foreign countries. 

The Second Assistant Poslmasler-Oeneral is at the head of the Contract Office. It is his duty to 
arrange the mail service, to enter into contracts for caiTying the mails, to fix the departures and 
arrivals on all the routes, the points of distribution, and to make regulations for the govern- 
ment of the domestic mail service. This office reports weekly to the Auditor all contracts execu- 
ted, and all orders affecting accounts for mail transportation. To the Inspection Division of the 
Contract Office is assigned the duty of receiving and examining the registers of the arrivals and 
departures of the mails, and reports of mail failures ; of noting the delinquencies of contractors, 
and reporting thereon to the Postmaster-General ; of providing mail bags, and of securing the 
mail against depredations. 

During the year 1872 the country had 7,259 mail routes, representing a total of 251,398 miles ; of 
which 57,911 miles were by railroad, 18,860 by steamboat, and 174,627 by horse power. The annual 
mail transportation passed over 664,984,322 miles, t. e., a distance 4,600 times as large as the circum- 
ference of the globe. 

The Third Assistant Postmaster- General is at the head of the Finance Office, and supervises the 
financial business of the department not assigned by law to the Auditor, embracing accounts 
with the draft offices and other depositories of the department, the issuing of warrants and 
drafts in payment of balances reported by the Auditor to be due to mail contractors and 
other persons. He has supervision of the accounts of officers under order to deposit their 
quarterly balances at designated points, and also of the rendering by postmasters of their 
quarterly returns of postage. He has also charge of the dead-letter office and of the issuing of 
postage stamps. 

The Postmaster-General estimates the total expenditures for the mail service of the year ending 
June 30, 1873, to be $30,863,167, and the revenue from the sale of postage stamps, the money order 
business, etc., to be $24,552,505, leaving a deficit to be supplied by congressional appropriation, of 
$6,310,592. 

The Attorney -General's Office. The duty of the Attorney-General is to prosecute and con- 
duct all suits in the Supreme Court, in which the United States is a party, and to give his advice 
and opinion upon questions of law, when required by the President, or when requested by the 
head of any department. He is also charged with the general superintendence and direction of 
all United States attorneys and marshals, as to the uaanner of discharging their respective 
duties. He is aided in the performance of his duties by a solicitor-general and two assistant 
attorneys-general. He further examines the titles of all land to be purchased by the United 
States as the sites of arsenals, light-houses, custom-houses, and other public works ; receives all 
applications for the appointment of judges, district attorneys, and marshals, and prepares state- 
ments to the President on applications for pardons, and the remission of imprisonment of public: 
debtors. 

XV mSTORT OF THE USTITEO STATES. 

The history of the United States as a nation may be said to begin with the session of the Firsfc 
Colonial Congress. This body met at New Vork city on the 7th of October, 1765, Timothy Bug- 
gies, of Massachusetts, being President. Nine colonies were represented by twenty-eight dele- 
gates. 

The causes which had led to the appointment of these delegates were the oppressive laws 
enacted for the colonies by the British Parliament. As early as 1651 the " Navigation Act " had 
prohibited exports except in English vessels ; in 1733 an onerous duty was imposed on imports of 
sugar and molasses ; in 1764 this act was re-enacted and resulted in the complete destruction of 
the West India ti-ade to the colonial ports ; and finally, in 1765, the Stamp Act passed the Houses of 
Parliament, ordaining that all legal instruments, newspapers, almanacs, etc., should be stamped 
Hnd pay duty. Oppressive restrictions on the freedom of the press had always existed, and 
While the struggling colonies were thus laden with unfair burdens, they were allowed no repr&-

sentatlves in Parliament. The settlers had left England, for the most part, to seek that freedom 
of conscience, equality of rights before the law, and control of their own property, which had 
been denied them in the mother country. Hence they determined that such abuses should not be 
perpetuated in the New World, and the First Colonial Congress met to prepare a Declaration of 
Bights and a statement of grievances, declaring that the colonies should be taxed only by their 
own representatives. 

In consequence of this action, the Stamp Act was repealed, but the policy of England was not 
altered. Other injurious and obnoxious laws were passed, the charter of Massachusetts sub- 
verted for resisting them, troops sent for their enforcement, and the feeling of bitterness con- 
Btantly increased. 

The Second Colonial Congress accordingly met at Philadelphia, September, 1774, under the 
name of the Continental Congress. It recommended that intercourse between the colonies and 
mother country should cease, and endorsed the spirit of opposition shown in "Virginia and Mis- 
Bachusetts. Thus supported, these colonies began to equip troops and accumulate supplies 
while the home government hastened to dispatch to America several ships of the line and ten 
thousand troops to reduce the " rebels." 

The Revolutionary War. — The long-foreseen conflict began by an engagement at Lexington 
and Concoi-d, Mass., April 19, 1775, in which the British lost 2S0 men. This was the signal for a 
general uprising of the provincial troops. The forts Ticonderoga and Crown Point on Lake 
Champlain were seized, and an army of nearly 20,000 men assembled around Boston. On June 
17, a detachment of these troops under Col. Prescott entrenched themselves on Breed's (now 
Bunker) Hill, which commanded the city. Generals Howe and Clinton, at the head oi about 3,000 
British soldiers, attacked them promptly, and after a hotly contested struggle forced the provin- 
cials to retire. But this success cost the victors more than a thousand men. 

Meanwhile the Continental Congress had reassembled at Philadelphia, and organized the 
higher departments of the army, appointing General George Washington Commander-in-chief, 
and voting to raise and support 20,000 troops. With the assistance of General Gates, General 
Washington immediately devoted himself to organizing and equipping his men. The only other 
military operation of the year was an exi^edition against Quebec and Montreal, under General 
Montgomery, which resulted in his death and in the capture of most of his troops. 

Early in the spring of 177(5, Washington, by a masterly movement, obtained possession of a 
position commanding the city of Boston and compelled its immediate evacuation by the British 
troops under Sir William Howe. They embarked in their fleet and sailed southerlj^ Penetra- 
ting their design to land at New York, Washington prevented it by the promptness of his move 
ments. Thus forced to abandon his plans. General Howe attempted to capture Charleston, but 
was driven off with severe loss. 

On the first of July the Declaration of Independence, prepared by a committee consisting of 
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Kobert R. Livingstone 
was submitted to the Continental Congress, and on the fourth was ratified by the delegates. 
Thus was the allegiance of the colonies to the British crown dissolved, and their freedom 
declared under the name of the United States op America. 

At this very time (July 2) the British troops, largely reinforced, had taken possession of Staten 
Island, and were preparing to drive Washington and his array from New York. After several 
severe engagements and numerous strategic movements, they accomplished their design, and 
forced the Continental army to evacuate the city in November and take refuge in New Jersey. 
Promptly following up this advantage. Lord Cornwallis actively pursued the retreating enemy 
until they were driven beyond the Delaware river. 

This was the gloomiest moment of the war. Death, disease, and desertion had reduced the 
Continental army to less than 3,000 men, and these were but half-clothed, poorly equipped, and 
often nearly starved. In this desperate strait Washington determined on a daring movement 
as his only resource. Recrossing the Delaware amid floating ice and a driving snow storm, on 
Christmas night, he attacked Trenton, at that time occupied by a regiment of Hessians, and 
captured it with little loss. The British troops fell back in haste, and by a series of i-apid move- 
mentsi Avere forced to positions near New York Harbor. 

In the summer of 1777 the British forces at NewYork embarked in the fleet, sailed up Chesa- 
peake Bay, and landed at the head of Elk river, Maryland. Washington hastened to meet them 
with an array better equipped than in the previous year, and numbering among his officers the 
gallant Marquis de Lafayette and Kosciusko. The opposing troops met on the banks of the 
Brandywine, Sept. 11, 1777, when a severe engagement resulted in the defeat of the provincial 
troops. Tliey retired to tlie Schuyllcill, and shortly after the British occupied Philadelphia. 

This disaster was, however, more than counterbalanced by the capture of a Britisli anny under 
General Bui-goyne, in New York. This ofllcer, at the head of about 10,000 troops, nad moved do^vn 
from Canada and captured Ticonderoga, but was checked by the defeat of one of his (ietachmenta 
near Bennington, Vt., Aug, 16. After two severe engagements with the Continental troops under 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 51 

General Gates, he was surrounded at Saratoga, his supplies cut off, and on the 17th of Octobci- he 
was forced to surrender his army prisoners of war. This success greatly inspirited the Ameri- 
cans and supplied them with much needed means to continue the struggle. Several minor 
engagements ensued, after which the main army went into winter quarters at Valley Forge. 

Early in 1778 a treaty of alliance was concluded between the United States and France, in con- 
sequence of which the latter power sent a fleet and a number of troops to aid the Americans. 
TUe British during the summer deemed it prudent to concentrate at New York, and therefore 
evacuated Philadelphia. In their retreat across New Jersey the indecisive battle of Monmouth 
was fought. Subsequently they captured Savannah, Georgia, this being the only advantage they 
gained during the campaign. 

In spite of the French allies, the year 1779 did not prove favorable to the American arms. The 
British forces overran and plundered Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, and the shores of Connec- 
ticut. Thej' incited the Indians to incursions upon the defenseless frontier settlements, and 
the Continental Congress had exhausted both its resources and its credit, apparently in vain. 

Nor was the campaign of 17S0 more reassuring. In April of that year Charleston was assaulted 
and captured by Sir Henry Clinton, and South Carolina subjected to his arms. A strong force 
from the North under General Gates was defeated at Sandy Creek (Aug. 16); and a body of 
patriots under Col. Sumter was dispersed. In the North, the traitor, Benedict Arnold, covered 
his name with everlasting obloquy by his treacherous attempt to surrender West Point to the 
British Commander for a sum of money. Indeed, such was the discouragement and suffering 
which at the close of this year prevailed in the American armj% that there was imminent dan- 
ger that it would disband. This was prevented by the energetic action of Congress, and espe- 
cially by the efficient labors of Robert Morris, superintendent of the treasury. 

In 1781 General Greene took command of the southern army, and without gaining any decisive 
victory, succeeded by a number of well-planned movements and attacks in confining the English 
forces at the close of the campaign to the cities of Savannah and Charleston. The Marquis de 
Liafayette, commanding in Virginia, mancBuvered in opposition to the British troops under Lord 
Cornwallis, until in August they had retired to Yorktown. When this had been achieved, 
General Washington with the main army at once hastened south, and the b'rench fleet proceeded 
to block up the York and James rivers. Cornwallis, seeing escape impossible, surrendered on the 
19th of October, with 7,000 troops and his munitions of war. 

This was the last important action of the war. Tired of the inelTectUcil struggle, the British 
nation clamored for a termination of hostilities. Neither the king nor the ministry was willing 
to acknowledge defeat, but they were at last obliged to yield. Not, however, until the laat 
day of November, 178i, were the preliminary articles of peace signed. 

The war over, the next important step was to decide upon the relation to each other of the 
several states which had shared in the conflict. As early as the summer of 1775 Benjamin Franklin 
had proposed to Congress articles of confederation; but at that time the step was deemed by 
the majority premature. In November, 1777, however, a plan of federation was adopted, and 
gradually ratified by all the states. Experience soon showed how defective it was, and in 1787 
delegates from all the states, except Rhode Island, met at Philadelphia to prepare a new consti- 
tution. In the following year this was adopted by majorities of the people in eleven of the states, 
though not without strenuous opposition. 

As the new government made provision for the election of ofllcers, George Washington was 
chosen President of the United States, and John Adams, Vice-president. 

Washington's Adminislralion (April 30, 1789, to March 4, 1797).— During the administration of 
Washington the attention of Congress was chiefly devoted to organizing the government on a 
firm basis. A national judiciary was established ; the departments of state, of the treasury and 
of war were constitiited ; provisions for levying duties and for internal taxation were framed ; 
a United States Bank was organized ; and a Federal loan was negotiated in Europe. These 
measures were not all received with equal approval by the people. Especially that lev5-ing a 
duty on domestic distilled spirits was unpopular with the inhabitants of western Pennsylvania, 
with whom whisky was a staple manufacture. They opposed the collection of the tax with 
arms in their hands, and not iintil a large military force was sent against them did they submit. 
This is known as the " Whisky Insuri-ection" (1791). It was not the only service the military 
were called upon to perform under this administration. The Indians of the Ohio valley attac-lied 
the frontier settlements in 1790, and defeated the regular troops under both General Ilarmar, iu 
1790, and General St. Clair, in 1791. At length, in 1793, in a decisive battle on the IMaumee river, 
General Wayne completely routed them and broke their power. During this period the country 
constantly increased in prosperity, and the states of North Carolina, Vermont, Tennessee, and 
Kentucky were admitted to the Union. 

John Adams' s Administration {IT^l to 1801).— Washington had been elected by the unanimoua 
Yoice of the people. But when he retired from office, the two great parties, the Federalists, 
who were conservatiyej attached to the views of Washington, and opposed to the sentiments of 



52 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

the French Revolution, and the Anti-federali9t9,ra<lical Democrats, each struggled for the mastery, 
John Adams, the Federal candidate, was elected President, and Thomas Jefferson, Vice-president. 
Early in this administration war witli France was threatened. Provoked because they could not 
emljroil the United States in a war witli England, the French Directoiy insulted the American 
Envoy at Paris, authorized the capture of American vessels by French cruisers, and sent vessels 
of war to the American coast. Congress took active measures of defense. An army and navy 
were organized, but fortunatelj', before actual hostilities broke out, the French Directory made 
overtures of peace. Washington, who had been appointed as commander of the small standing 
arm.y which had been raised, did not live to witness the restoration of peace. On the 14th of 
December, 1799, he died at his residence at Mt. Vernon, Va., after a short illness, at the age of 
sixty-eiglit years. During the following summer the seat of government was removed from 
Philadelphia to tlie city which had been named after him, and the site of which he had assisted 
in choosing. His death, togetlier with the unpopulai'ity of the "alien and sedition laws," 
aimed at rebel aliens and government libelers, prepared the way for the defeat of the Federalists 
at the next presidential campaign. 

Jefferson's Adminislralion {\W\ to 1809). — After a close contest Thomas Jefferson was elected 
President, Aaron Burr Vice-president, both belonging to the Anti-Federal or Democratic party. 
The internal revenue system was at once abolished, and other laws distasteful to the pai'ty now 
In power abolished. In 1802 Ohio was admitted as a state, and in the next year Louisiana was 
purchased from France, for $15,000,000. The same year Commodore Preble was sent against the 
pirates of the Barbary coast. After two yeai's of desultory conflict, favorable terms of peace were 
offered by the bashaw and accepted by the United States. In 1807 the celebrated trial of Aaron 
Burr, Vice-president under the previous administration, took place. Ha was arrested on the 
charge of treason, but not convicted. 

The wars of France and England, and especially the unjust claims put forward by the latter, 
constantly increased the resentment felt toward the latter power by the Americans. An unpro- 
voked attack on the American frigate Chesapeake, in 1807 ; the seizure of American sailors by press- 
gangs ; the injustice of the Britisli " orders in council," which exposed neutral vessels trading 
with France to capture ; and the inciting of the western Indians by British emissaries, combined 
to convince the people that their only mode of redi-ess was a declaration of war. This alterna- 
tive, however, was postponed to the last, and was not adopted until 

Madison's Administrallon (1809 to 1817).— James Madison belonged to the same party as his prede- 
cessor, and continued his policy. After an ineffectual attempt to obtain justice from Great 
Britain, the President, in accordance with the action of Congress, issued a proclamation of war, 
June 19, 1812. 

The War of 1812— 1814.— In the fall of the previous year (Nov., 1811), Gen. William Henry Harrison 
succeeded in crushing the power of the hostile Indians of the west, at the bloody and obsti- 
nately-contested battle of Tippecanoe, in Indiana. But the campaign of 1812 did not continue 
such success. The Americans lost the posts of Mackinaw and Detroit, and were defeated at 
Queenstown, on the Niagara river. Fortunately the navy more than counterbalanced these 
reverses. Within seven months from the declaration of war,flve hundred British vessels and three 
frigates were captured by the Americans, with an average loss of but one sailor to eight of the 
enemy. Captain Isaac Hull, aiul Commodores Decatur and Bainbridge especially distinguished 
chemselves in these engagements ; but the large majority of prizes were taken by "privateers," 
fitted out by citizens. 

In the beginning of 1813, the American forces were ranged in three divisions, one under General 
Harrison, on Lake Erie, the* second under General Dearborn, on Lake Ontario, the third under 
General Wade, on Lake Champlain. Commodore Perry commanded the American squadron on 
Lake Erie, which distinguished itself on Sep. 10th by a brilliant victory over the British fleet. 
The troops of Harrison immediately embarked, crossed the lake, and gained a complete victory 
over the English soldiery, under General Proctor, at the battle of the Thames (Oct. 5). In this 
engagement the renowned Indian warrior, Tecumseh, was slain. His death destroyed the power 
of the Indians of the north, while in the decisive battle of Horse Shoe Bend, in Georgia, the 
following March, General Jackson humbled the southern tribes. 

Gen. Dearborn, in the meanwhile, attacked and captured York in Canada, and the English in 
return made a descent on Sackett's Harbor. Several other engagements occurred on the nor- 
thern frontier, but none of a decisive character. 

At sea, the fortunes of the war were not so much in favor of the Americans as previously. In 
February the Hornet, under Captain Lawrence, destroyed the British brig Peacock, but in the 
following June that brave ofQcer was killed, and his ship captured in an engagement with the 
frigate Shannon. His last words were: "Don't give up the ship," which has become the motto 
of our navy. The British commerce, however, suffered severely by the numerous privateers 
which scoured the seas capturing British merchantmen. 

Li the following year, 1814, Generals Winfleld Scott and Ripley crossed Niagara River at 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 53 

• 

the liead of aljout 3,000 men, seized Fort Erie, and on the 25th of July engaged the British forces 
under General Drummond at Luudy's Lane. This ■was the most ohstinate battle of the war. 
It resulted favorably for the American forces, but at a loss of nearly one-third their number. Still 
more disastrous to the British was the battle of Plattsburg, on Lake Champlain, which took 
place Sept. 11, 1S14. Their land forces attacked the United States troops under General Macomb, 
while their fleet engaged that of Commodore MacDonough, lying in tlie harbor. They signally 
failed in both attempts, losing most of their vessels and about 2,500 men. 

Meanwhile the British fleet on the Atlantic coast carried on a series of depredations on the 
defenseless seaport towns. Hampton, on the Chesapeake, was burned ; a force of 5,000 marines 
proceeded to Washington, and having burned the Capitol, Pi-esident's House, and other public 
buildings, hastUy retreated (Aug. 24). Alexandria was plundered, and Baltimore attacked, but 
unsuccessfully. 

General Andrew Jackson, commanding at the south, having driven the English troops from. 
Peusacola, repaired to New Orleans to repel a large force under General Packenham. This he did 
most victoriously at the Battle of New Orleans, Jan. 8, 1815, in which 12,000 British troops were 
repulsed, with a loss of nearly 2,000 dead and wounded, by 6,000 American mUitia, whose dead and 
wounded amounted to only thirteen. This was the last important action of the war. Indeed, 
before it took place a treaty of peace had been signed at Ghent by commissioners of the two 
powers (Dec. 24, 1S14). The objects for which the United States had been fighting were virtually 
conceied. 

In the following year (1815) Commodore Decatur still further established the reputation of the 
American navy by the reduction of Tunis and Tripoli, whose piratical inhabitants had been 
plundering our merchantmen. 

The war left the country in debt $ 75,000,000, and to aid in restoring the finances, early in 1816 a 
second national bank was established, with a capital of $35,000,000, and a charter to continue in 
force 20 years. 

Adniinislratlon of James Monroe (1817 to 1825). — The next administration shared the political 
views of that which preceded it, but was marked by less bitterness and more general good feel- 
ing. The only warlike event was an invasion of Florida, then a Spanish colony, by General- 
Jackson, in pursuit of hostile Indians. This might have given rise to serious trouble, but in 1821 
Spain ceded east and west Florida to the United States, for $5,000,000. The slavery question at 
this time began to assume threatening proportions. In Aug., 1831, the " Missouri Compro- 
mise" was passed, by which slavery was to be excluded from all territory west of the Missis- 
sippi, north of 30° 30', except in Missouri. This pacified the opposing parties for a time. 
President Monroe is, perliaps, best remembered for Ws maintenance of the "Monroe doctrine." 
This is expressed in his message of Dec. 2, 1823, and is as follows : " "We owe it to candor and to 
the amicable relations existing between the United States and European powers, to declare that 
we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system of government to any 
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety." 

John Q. Adams's Administration (1825 to 1829).— Freed from external foes, and not yet divided by 
party strife, the country now enjoyed remarkable prosperity. Internal improvements on a 
large scale commenced, and the first railroad (at Quincy, Mass.,) was constructed. The Erie 
Canal was finished by the state of New York, and the commerce and manufactures of the 
country rapidly increased. The President pursued the same policy as his father, John Adams, 
which was ""Whig" or " Republican." It is mentioned as a remarkable coincidence that on the 
fiftieth anniversary of American Independence, which occurred July 4, 1826, John Adams and 
Thomas Jefl'erson, so long the heads of the opposing political parties, both died. 

Jackson''s Administration (1829 to 1837). — After an exciting political campaign General Andrew 
Jackson was elected president by the Democratic party. His first action was to remove 
numerous ofHce-holders and appoint in their place his political friends. In 1832 John C. Calhoun, 
who had been elected Vice-president, resigned that ofiice, and representing South Carolina in 
the Senate, declai-ed the protective tariff (originally introduced by the south, but grown 
unpalatable to it) null and void, and threatened secession if the general government attempted 
to execute it in South Carolina. The President at once ordered a vessel of war and troops to 
Charleston to collect the revenue by force, if necessary. Fortunately this resort was avoided, 
and Henry Clay introduced a compromise measure by which the strife was adjusted. In the 
same year the President vetoed the extension of the charter of the United States Bank, which 
he termed "the scourge of the people," and in 1833 removed the government funds deposited in 
that institution — actions which excited the bitterest animadversion. 

Hostilities with the Indians constantly occupied the regular troops. On the western frontier, 
In Illinois and Wisconsin, the tribes assembled under the chief. Black Hawk, in 1832, but were 
dispersed and their leader captured. In 1835 and 1833 the Cherokees were after some difficulty 
removed west of the Mississippi; while the Creeks and Seminoles, in Florida, refusing to 
emigrate, collected under Osceola, and for seven years successfully resisted the troops sent 
against them. At length Colonel Zachary Taylor compelled their submission. 



54 , THE UNITED STATES OF AMEKlL'A. 

Van Buren's Administration (1837 to 1841).— The successor of Jackson was Martin Van Baren.of 
Kew York, also a Democrat. Early in his administration (1837) the counti-y was overwhelmed by 
a disastrous and general mercantile failure, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. This 
was the direct consequence of land speculations and long credits. All tlie banlcs suspended 
epecie payment, and Mississippi and Florida repudiated the debts of tlieir commonwealths. An 
Independent United States treasury, with sub-treasury offices in New York and other ports of 
collection, was organized in 1839. Treasury notes to the amount of $10,000,000 were authorized to 
b.2 issued. Tliese measures, however, did not succeed in restoring health to trade ; and as tlie 
disasters of the country were attributed to tlie action of the Democratic party, the result in the 
next presidential election was the success of the Whigs by a majority much larger than waa 
expected by any one. 

Harrison and Tyler's Administrations (1841 to 1845).— General Harrison, the "hero of tlie Thamei 
and Tippecanoe," lived but a month after liis inauguration, and Mr. Tyler, the Vice-president, 
became acting President. The sub-treasury bill was repealed, and a general bajiknapt act 
declared,but as Mr. Tyler vetoed two separate bills chartering a U. S. bank, he was denounced 
in the strongest terms by the party which had elected him, and his entire cabinet resigned 
except Daniel Webster, Secretary of State. Nevertheless the finances of the country rapidly 
Improved. In 1842 a treaty was negotiated with Great Britain, relating to the N. W. boundary 
of the United States, or the Oregon line. Late in this administration, Texas, a province of 
Mexico, settled chiefly by emigrants from the United States, which had declared its indepen- 
dence, applied for admission into the Union. This was strongly resisted by tlie Whig party, but 
early in lcS45 Congress authorized the President to negotiate with Texas terms of annexation. 

PoWs Administration (1845 to 1849).— The contest of 1844 was between Henry Clay, the Whig can- 
didate, and James K. Polk, who was elected by the Democrats. The action of Congress with 
reference to Texas necessarily led to a rupture with Mexico, and that her troops might not move 
upon that state in an unprepared condition. General Taylor was ordered to lead his forces to the 
Rio Grande, and a naval squadron was dispatched to the Gulf of Mexico to support him. 

TJie Mexican War.— Hostilities began by an attack on a body of United States dragoons, 
April 27, 1846, on the east bank of the Rio Grande, above Matamoras. On the 8th and 9th of May 
General Taylor fought the successful battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, which drove the 
Mexicans beyond the river. When the news of these engagements reached Wa.shington, the 
President was authorized to call out 50,000 volunteers, and a warlike enthusiasm was displayed in 
all the states. The army was not ready for action until the fall of 1846. It was then divided into 
three columns, the main body under General Taylor to march upon Monterey, while a second 
division under General Wool was to attack Chihualiua, and the third, under General Kearney, 
was to direct its course to Santa Fe. These objects were promptly accomplished, Monterey sur- 
nendering on the 24th Sept., Santa Fe shortly previous, and Chihuahua on the 28th of Feb., 1847. 
Meanwhile Captain J. C. Fremont, of the topographical engineers, with several other officers, 
had possessed himself of San Francisco, and gained the entire control of Upper Caliiornia. 

As in Feb., 1847, General Taylor's forces had become reduced to less than 5,000 men by detach- 
ments sent elsewhere, the Mexican General Santa Anna considered this a favorable moment to 
attack him, and on the 23d of that month assaulted his works on the heights of Buena Vista, 
three miles south of SaltlUo, with an army of 20,000 men. In spite of this numerical superiority 
he was driven in disorder from the field, with a loss of more than 1,500 men. A few days after 
this event, General Scott at the head of 13,000 men landed near Vera Cruz (March 9, 1S47), and 
began to invest the city. It yielded after a vigorous resistance on the 29th, and shortly after- 
ward the troops were put in motion for the Mexican capital. Santa Anna resisted them on the 
heights of Cerro Gordo, but was routed with heavy loss (April 18). The cities of Jalapa and 
Puebla fell, and on the 18th of August the entire army, numbering 9,000 men, reached a position 
ten miles from the city of Mexico. Here they were opposed by over 30,000 Mexicans under Santa 
Anna. With desperate bravery they carried by assault the batteries on the heights of Contreras, 
the fortified post of Cherubusco, and tlie fortress of Chapultapec, which had been deemed impreg- 
nable. Terrified by these losses, Santa Anna and the civil officers of the government fled from 
thecitybyniglit, the army dissolved, and on the 14th of September the American flag floated 
over the national palace of Mexico. This ended the war, and on February 22, 1848, a treaty of 
peace was concluded between the two powers. The United States obtained New Mexico and Cali- 
fornia, and agreed to pay to and for Mexico about $18,000,000. 

Taylor and Fillmore's Administrations {18i9 to 1853).— The next presidential canvass resulted In 
tlie election of General Zachary Taylor, the Whig nominee, but of moderate views. The central 
political question of the day was whether slavery should be carried into the new territories. 
This was strenuously opposed by the j'aajority in the north, and as earnestly advocated by the 
south. The " compromise" measures, j^nally pas.sed by Congress, wliicli excluded slavery from 
California, left it optional with the peop-e of Utah and New Mexico, and allowed owners to cajv 
ture fugitive slaves in free states, were equally disliked by each party. Secession conventions 
were held in South Carolina and Missis" vppi, and armed resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law 
advocated in the nortli. 



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 55 

Pending this discussion, President Taylor died, July 9, 1S50, and the Vice-president, Millard 
Fillmore, was installed as acting President. 

The discovery of the rich gold deposits of California at this time attracted general attention 
throughout the world, and led to a vast emigration to that territory. 

Pierce's Administration (1853 to 1857). — In 1852 Fi-anklin Pierce of New Hampshire, the Demo- 
cratic candidate for President, was elected over General Winfleld Scott, the candidate of the 
AVhig party. The Missouri Compromise was abrogated in 1854. Violent collisions occurred in 
Kansas between the Free-Soil and Pro-Slavery parties. In March of same year a commercial 
treaty was effected with Japan. The discussions which sought to give new efflcacy to the Fugi- 
tive Slave Law, and which culminated on March 6th, 1857, in the famous Dred Scott decision, 
delivered by Chief Justice Taney, greatly increased party excitement, and intensified the strug- 
gle between the friends and opponents of slavery. Under such circumstances the campaign of 
1856 took place, the Democratic candidate being James Buchanan and the Free-Soil candidate 
General John C. Fremont. The former was elected. 

Buchanan's Administration (1857 to 1861).— Party lines became more closely drawn upon the 
right of extending slavery into the territoi-ies, and the capture of fugitives on free soil. In 
Kansas and Nebraska bloody collisions between the exponents of free and slave Ideas were not 
infrequent. Mr. Buchanan had great trouble with his territorial governors, especially of 
Kansas. August 24, 1857, began the great commercial panic, which, by December 25, of same 
3'ear, resulted in 5,123 failures, wilh an aggregate loss of $291,757,000. The Utah expedition was 
the only army movement of importance during 1857-53. On October 17, 1859, occurred the 
affair at Harper's Ferry, Avhich resulted in the hanging of John Brown. The presidential canvass 
of 1860 found the Democratic party divided, one faction claiming that slavery existed by 
constitutional right in all the territories, the other that the question of its existence depended 
on the will of the people thereof. Of the former, John C. Breckinridge became the candidate for 
the presidency ; of the latter, Stephen A. Douglas, while Abraham Lincoln became the candidate 
of the new Republican party, and John Bell of the conservative or compromise elements of 
both parties. Mr. Lincoln was chosen (November 6, 1860) by a large majority. His election was 
the signal for a movement on the part of the southern states in favor of a separate government. 
On November 7, on receipt of the news of the election, the " Palmetto Flag " was hoisted on 
the shipping in Charleston Harbor. November 10, the Legislature of South Carolina introduced 
a bill to raise and equip 10,000 men, and one ordering a convention to consider the question of 
secession. Her Senators both resigned. November 18, the Georgia Legislature appropriated 
$1,000,000 to arm the state. Major Anderson was sent to Fort Moultrie to relieve Colonel Gardner. 
December 1, Florida Legislature ordered a secession convention. December 3, Congress met, and 
Mr. Buchanan, in his message, announced the doctrine that while no state had the right to 
secede, the Federal government was powerless to prevent secession. December 10, Howell 
Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, and Senator Clay, of Alabama, resigned. December 13, the 
President refused to reinforce the forts in Charleston Harbor. December 14, General Cass, 
Secretary of State, resigned. December 20, South Carolina seceded. December 22, the Crit- 
tenden compromise voted down in the Senate. December 24, South Carolina members of

resigned. January 24, Confederates seized United States Arsenal at Augusta. January 26, 
Louisiana seceded. January 30, North Carolina Legislature submitted the secession question 
to the people, and on February 1 the Texas Convention passed an ordinance of secession, and 
submitted it to the people. The Mint and Custom House seized in New Orleans. February 4, 
delegates met at Montgomery, Alabama, to form a Confederate Government. Peace Congress 
met in Washington, and after a stormy session adjourned without results. February 9, Jefferson 
Davis and Alexander H. Stephens elected provisional President and Vice-president of Southern 
Confederacy. February 19, Confederates seized Fort Kearney, in Kansas. February 23, General 
Twiggs surrendered government property in Texas, valued at $1,200,000.

Johnson's Adminislralion (1865 — 1869).— President Johnson developed a policy at variance with 
the wishes of those who had supported him for Vice-president. So unsatisfactory did his 
administration become to the majoritj% that proceedings in impeachment were begun, but they 
failed. His antagonism with Congress and the consequent failure to settle many of the pressing 
questions of state and finance evolved by the war, paved the way for an easy election of General 
Grant and Schuyler ('olfax, the nominees of the Republican party. 

Grmil's First Administration (1869 to 1S72).— All the departments of the government being now 
in hartEony, this administi-ation became effectual in applying the various laws looking to 
reconstruction, providing for the civil privileges of the colored race, giving fixity to the 
national currency, credit to the securities and for the reduction of the debt. The President's 
announcement to secure for the country rest and peace after the excitement and turmoil of 
war, Avas received on every hand with approbation. A partially successful attempt was made 
to convert the higher interest-bearing loans into bonds bearing a lower rate of interest. A new 
and humanized Indian policy was devised and put in practice. The Alabama claims were 
adjudicated and the vexatious question of the N. W. boundary settled. The countrj' responded 
to the new condition of affairs and the guarantees of quiet, by a greatly increased development 
of natural resources, improved industries, large public improvements, and fresh commercial 
activity. Repetition of such an administration was deemed desirable by the majority, and 
President Grant was re-elected, with Henry Wilson for Vice-president, after a bitter and unique 
canvass against Horace Greeley, as the candidate of the opposition. 

GranVs Second Administration (1873-). — The present administration, in the main, continues the 
policy of the former one, except in the particular ot a desire to obtain for the government a 
footing in the West Indies, and for trans-continental and other raih'oad enterprises donations of 
public lands and government credit. The country was threatened for a time with serious com- 
plications with Spain, but these were averted by a wise statesmanship. The speculative idea 
which grew up under a redundant currency, and the daring activities subsequent to the war, 
resulted in financial disaster at the close of 1873. In addition to its usual labors the administra- 
tion therefore found itself in the midst of problems for the restoration of credit, the adjustment 
of the currency to the wants of the people and the return of business to an economic and. 
steadfast basis, whose successful solution will be numbered among its most worthy achieve* 
menta.

AliABAMA.— The region occupied by the 
state of Alabama was first explored by the 
Spaniards and French. The name was taken 
from the Alibamons, an Indian tribe near 
tlie Gulf coast. Its signification is unknown. 
Until 1798 Alabama formed part of the State 
of Georgia. In that year it was organized as a 
territory, embracing also the country subse- 
quently included in Mississippi. In 1819 it was 
admitted into the Union. 

Alabama is bounded on the E.bv Georgia; 
on the S. by Florida and the Gulf of Mexico ; on 
the W. by Mississippi, and on the N. by Ten- 
nessee. It extends from 30° 12' N. lat.,to .35^ N. 
lat,, a distance of 331 mis., and from 84° .5.y W. 
long., to 85° 35' W. long., a distance of 214 mis. 
The area is .50,722 sq. mis., oi- 32,4G2,0S0 acres. 

)S'i/r/rtce.— Alabama comprises, in regard to 
the formation of its surface and geological struc- 
ture, two witlely ditferent sections, divided by 
a line commencing at Girard, on the Chatta- 
hoochee R., and running \V. to Xotasulga, Tal- 
laseee on the Tallapoosa R., Wetumpka on the 
Coosa R., Centrevilie on the Cahawba R., and 
Tuscaloosa on the Tombigbee R. 

The section of the state S. of this line includes 
the post-tertiary, cretaceous and tertiary forma- 
tions, and consists of level or undulating plains, 
which are often divcr.sifled by low ridges of 
drift. North of the line indicated, the character 
of the country greatly changes Tallapoo.sa, 
Chambers, Randolph, Coosa and Talladega cos, 
with part of Benton co., are occupied by the 
metamorphic formation, while the central part 
of this section embraces the productive coal- 
measures of the Black Warrior R. The surface 
of this region is broken and hilly, and gradually 
rises toward the N., where, in a "ridge extending 
from E. to W., through Morgan, Lawrence and 
Franklin cos., it attains an average altitude 
above the level of the ocean of 1,100 and 1,160 
feet. This region is traversed by numerous 
ranges, trending from tlie N". E. to the S. W. ; 
the highest of w liich, known as the Lookout Mt. , 
is the only elevation in the slate that presents 
anything like the impressive grandeur of a 
mountain. It extends from the Tennessee R., 
near Chattanooga, through N. W. Georgia, and 
enters De Kalb co., Alabama, forming the 
north-western barrier of the Coosa R. valley. 
The less elevated but broader range of the 
Raccoon Mt.lies W. of it, and extends along the 
Tennessee R., from Shelmount, Tcnn., to the 
great bend, near Warrentown, In Marshall co. 
A long and narrow valley separates these two 
mountains, extending from Scottsville, near 
the CahaAvlia to the N. E. part of the state. The 
towns of Eiyton, .Jonesborough and Jlui-phrees- 
ville are situated in this valley, which bears 
ditferent local names. 

The most northern section of the state is 
occupied by the fertile valley of tlie Tennessee 
R. Kuiuerous prolonsmtions of the Cumber- 
land Mts. extend from Tennessee into this part 
of Alabama, and terminate at some distance 
from the river, inclosing narrow and often 
picturesque valleys, which have been excavated 
by the tributaries of the Tennessee. 

Minerals and Mineral iS'prinr/.?.— The mineral 
treasures of Alabama, although not compara- 
ble to those of the western part of our 
country, are valuable and of considerable 
range. Gold is found in the E. central part of 
the state, but not in paying quantities Vari- 
ous iron ores, as magnetic iron, red and brown 
hematite, ochre, etc., are found in Bibb, Jclfer- 



son, Tuscaloosa, Shelby and Benton cos. ; and 
as limestone and fuel ai'e abundant, several 
furnaces are in active operation. Manganesa 
occurs in Talladega and Randolph cos. Vario. 
gated marbles, black, butf, or nearly white, 
abound in Talladega and Shelby cos. Bitumi- 
nous coal, however, is the most valuable miner- 
al. The coal measures cover an extensive area 
in the northern part of the state. 

Alabama abounds in mineral springs, some of 
which are famous for tlieir medicinal properties. 
In Lauderdale co. are Bailey's Springs, 9 mis. 
from Floi'ence ; Stewart Spring, one rale, from 
Florence, and others, which contain free car* 
bonic acid, iron, soda, sulphur and potassa. 
Bladen Springs, in Clarke CO., and Blounta 
Springs, in Blount co., are also much resorted 
to by persons in quest of health or pleasure. 

Baj/s and Rivers. — The sea-shore of Alabarca 
is indented by Mobile Bay, 35 mis. long, and 
12 mis. wide. Its eastern 'extension is Bonse- 
cour Bay. The entrance to Mobile Bay is 
between Dauphin Island and Mobile Point, the 
extremity of a long, sandy peninsula, on which 
Fort Morgan stands. 

Tlie Largest portion of the state is drained by 
the Mobile R., which is formed bv the conflu- 
ence of the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers, 30 
mis. N. of Mobile Bay. The Alab.araa is formed 
by the junction of the Coo.sa and Tallapoosa 
rivers, which enter into the state from Georgia. 
It lias a general south-westerly course, and is 
navigable for large steamers from Mobile to 
Montgomery. Smaller boats ascend the Coosa 
R., as far as Wetumpka and the Tallapoosa as 
far as Notasulga. The Tombigbee R. rises ia 
Mississippi, and intersects the western part of 
Alabama. It receives the Black Warrior R., 
which drains the coal region of the state, and 
is navigable as far as Tuscaloo.sa. 

The Chattahoochee R. forms about 159 mis. 
of the eastern boundary and steamboats ascend 
it to Girard, in Russell co. Numerous smaller 
streams drain the south-eastern portion of 
Alabama, and passing through western Florida, 
empty into the Gulf, as Choctawhatcliee R., ana 
its affluent. Pea R ; the Yellow R., and the 
Escambia R., which receives the Conecuh and 
Sepulgah rivers. The Perdido R. separates 
Floritla from Alabama. 

The northern portion of the state is drained 
by the Tennessee R. This large stream, after 
flowing to the S. W., through a wide valley of 
the Appalachian System, turns abruptly W. 
near Warrenton, and then passes directly N. 
through Tennessee and Kentucky before it joins 
the Ohio. Its valley in Alabama is one of denu- 
dation, and lies 600 feet lower than the ridge 
which, on the S., separates it from the region 
drained by the headwaters of the Black War- 
rior. The Tennessee is navigable above and 
below the Muscle Shoals. These are a series of 
cascades, about 15 mis. long, formed by horizon- 
tal strata of cherty rock, which jut across the 
valley from S. to N. Their aggregate height is 
85 feet. Tlie Tennessee R. receives no tributary 
of importance in Alabama. 

Climate Alabama has a warm, semi-tropical 

climate. The northern part Is considerably 
colder than the southern, not only on account 
of its higher latitude, but also of its greater 
elevation. Observations made during 18.57 in 
Auburn, which is situated in the central part of 
the state, about 60 mis. N. E. of Montgomery, 
gave the following results: Mean annual tem- 
])erature, 62.37 deg. ; highest temperature, 93 
dog. (observed on .June 9th, .July 12th and Sept. 
istli); lowest temp. 5 deg. (observed on .Tan. 
lOtli); difference between the highest and low- 
est temp , 87 deg. The mean annual tempera- 
ture in the valley of the Tennessee R. is 60 deg., 
and in the extreme S. about 69 deg. Alabama 
lies within the zone of the trade winds, hence 
eastei'ly windsprevail ; butduring the summer, 
when the interior of the great Mississippi basin

experiences excessive lieat, southerlv mnds 
blow with mucli regularity from the Gulf far 
Into the land. The rain-fall of the state is con- 
siderable. The greater part receives an aver- 
age of 63 inches, which arc distributed through 
the seasons with tolerable regularity. The 
summer is usually the wettest and the autumn 
the driest season. 

Fe(7eCarto)i.— Alabama belongs to the g^eat 
forest region of the continent. The northern 
part of the state was, and to a great extent is 
still, covered with forests of deciduous trees, 
comprising hickory, poplar, chestnut, oak, ma- 
ple, mulberry, etc. In addition to these there 
occur in the southern parts various kinds of 
magnolia, live oak and otlier sub-tropical ever- 
green trees, while the extensive tracts of coun- 
try, consisting of drift ridges and sandy plains, 
produce the pitch, and other southern pines. 
The river bottoms are lined with cottonwood 
trees and canebrakes. 

Animals. — In the thinly settled portions of the 
state there stiil occur hears, deer, wolves, foxes, 
raccoons and opossums. The rivers abound 
with fish, water turtles, and, in the southern 
parts, alligators. The rattlesnake is frecjuently 
met with. 

PopulaLion. — The number of inhabitants in 
1870 was 996,992 (521,3*1 were white and 475,510 
colored). The density of population was 19.6 in- 
habitants to the sq. nile. Of the aggregate pop- 
ulation 987,030 were natives of the United States, 
and only 9,962 born in foreign countries. The 
natives included 38,825, one or both parents of 
whom were foreigners. Of the foreign inhabi- 
tants, there were born 183 in British America, 
587 in France, 2,479 in Germany, 1,039 in England, 
3,893 in Ireland, 458 in Scotland, tl8 in Italy, 105 
in Sweden and 33 in the West Indies. The pop- 
ulation had steadily Increased from 1820 to 1860, 
but from that time to 1866 there was a decrease 
of 3,632 whites and 14,325 colored persons, A total 
decrease of 17,957. The following table shows 
the increase of population from decade to de- 
cade :

Nearly one-half of the population, over 10 
years of" age, was engaged In the various occu- 
pations, viz. : 291,629 in agriculture : 42,125 in pro- 
fessional and personal services ; 14,435 in trade 
or transportation, and 17,070 in manufactures 
and mechanical and mining industries. 

Agi-icuUure.— The land in farms amounted in 
1870 to 14,961,178 acres, or 46 per cent, of the en- 
tire area of the state, showing a considerable 
decrease since 1860, when there were over 19,000,- 
000 acres in farms. But the number of farms 
has increased during the same period from 55, 128 
to 67,333. Large farms of more than 500 acres 
have decreased in number about 50 per cent ; 
farms of from 50 to 100 acres have slightly in- 
creased, while farms below 50 acres have nearlj- 
doubled in number. The cash value of farms 
was $07,739,036, or but little over $4.50 per acre, 
and the estimated value of all farm productions, 
including additions to stock, was $67,522,333. 

Tlie great staple of the state is cotton, of 
which there was produced in 1860, 989,955 bales, 
and in 1870, 429,482 bales. The other farm pro- 
ducts during the latter year were : 1,055,068 bush, 
of wheat ; 18,977 bush, rye ; 16 977,948 bush, corn ; 
770,866 bush, oats ; 162,512 bush. Irish potatoes; 
1,871,360 bush, sweet potatoes; 10,613 tons hay; 
8,213,753 lbs, of butter; 381,253 lbs. wool; 222,945 
lbs. rice, and 152,742 lbs. tobacco. The value of 
all live stock was $26,690,095, and of agricultural 
implements, $3,286,924. There were in the State 
80,770 horses ; 76,675 asses and mules ; 170,640 
milch cows; 59,176 working oxen; 257,347 otlier

cattle; 241,934 sheep and 719,757 swine. The 
value of slaughtered animals was $4,670,140. 

Manufactures. — According to the last cen- 
sus there were 2,188 manufacturing establisli- 
mcnts in the state, emploving 8,248 liands, and 
295 steam-engines, with 7,7i0 horse-power. The 
total value of manuf. products was $13,040,644, 
which consumed $7,592,837 of raw materials. 
The state had 13 cotton factories, producing 
goods to the value of $1,088,767. Fourteen es- 
tablishments produced $89,998 worth of woolen 
goods. Fifty-eight establishments produced 
$172,949 worth of curried leather, and $239,396 
worth of tanned leather. The total value of 
machinery was $571,365 ; of cast-iron, $326,890, 
and of agricultural implements, $10,050. Six 
hundred and thirteen flouring and grist mills 
turned out products to the value of $4,827,- 
470, and 284 saw-mills sawed lumber to the 
value of $1,359,083. The value of cigars and 
manufactured tobacco amounted to $33,850, and 
of brick and tile $164,530. 

Commerce and Internal Improvements. — Ala- 
bama has excellent facilities for foreign and 
domestic commerce. Her rivers are navigable 
for upward of 1,500 miles, and Mobile Bay af- 
fords a good outlet for her exports. Ships 
drawing lOJ^ feet of water can ascend the bay 
to the wharves of Mobile. The total declared 
value of commodities imported into Mobile, the 
only port of entry in the state, was, in 1871, $1,- 
579,806 ; of domestic exports, $21,874,703, and of 
foreign exports, $1,631. The total number of 
vessels was 228, with 23,102 tons of burden. Of 
these 7 were registered, 133 enrolled and 68 
licensed. 

In 1862 Alabama had 805 mis. of railroad ; in 
1870, 1,390, and in 1872 1,671 mis. These roads 
were the following : Ala. Cen. R. R., 81 mis. 
long ; Ala. & Chattanooga R. R , 24414 nils. ; E. 
Ala. & Cincinnati R. R., 25 mis. ; Montgomery 
& Eupala R. R., 80 mis. ; Memphis & Charlestown 
R. R., 155 1-5 mis. ; Mobile & Girard R. R., 83 
mis. ; Mobile & Ohio R. R., 75 mis. ; Nashville & 
Chattanooga R. R., 26i^ mis. ; New Orleans* 
Selma R. R, 20 4-5 mis.; Savannah & Memphis 
R. R., 28 mis.; Selma & Gulf R. R., 40 mis.; 
Selma. Rome & Dalton R. R., 171 J^ mis. ; South 
& North R. R., 115 mis. ; Southwestern R. R., 
of Ga., % mle. ; Western of Ala. R. R., lOOJ.^ 
mis. ; VicKsburg & Brunswick R. R. , 21 mis. 

Charitable and Penal Institutions. — There is an 
insane hospital In Tuscaloosa, which was 
opened for the reception of patients in 1861. 
It has accommodations for at least 350 per- 
sons. The in-stitution for the deaf and dumb 
at Talladega is also in successful operation, 
and at Mobile there is an asylum for the blind. 
The State Penitentiary at Wetumpka had in 
Nov., 1866, 200 convicts, three-fourths of whom 
were colored. 

Government. — The Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor, Secretary of State, Treasurer and Attor- 
ney-Genei'al are chosen for two years by the 
electors of the state. The Auditor is cho- 
sen for one year. The elections take place on 
the Tuesday after the first Monday in Novem- 
ber. The House of Representatives must not 
exceed 100 members ; the Senate must be not 
less than one-fourth and not more than one- 
third of the number of representatives. Sena- 
tors must be at least 27 years old ; but any elec- 
tor is eligible as representative. The Constitu- 
tion provides, that all male residents of the- 
state, 21 years old, born in the United States or 
naturalized, who have resided in the state six 
months preceding an election, shall be citizens 
of Alabama Temporary absence does not 
cause a forfeiture of citizenship. In 1870 there 
were in Alabama 202,182 male citizens not de- 
prived of sufl'rage. 

Tlie Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice 
and associate Judges, and has appellate juris- 
diction onlj''. It meets twice a year at the seat 
of government. The state is divided into cir- 



ALABAMA.

ALAMEDA. 



cuits of not less than three or more than eight 
counties. A judge is chosen for each circuit, 
who shall, after his election, reside therein. 
Circuit Courts are held twice a year in each 
eounty. The Court of Chancery is composed 
of four Chancellors. The judges of the Supreme 
Court receive a salary of $4,000; those of the 
Circuit Courts and the Chancellors. .$;},000. All 
the judges of these courts and the Chancellors 
are chosen for terms of 6 years, during which 
the^ cannot hold non-judicial ofHces of profit 
or trust under the state or the United States. 
The clerk of the Supreme Court is appointed 
hy the judges. The Attorney General resides 
at the seat of government, and a solicitor is ap- 
pointed for each county. 

Wealth and Mnances. — The estimated value 
of real and personal estate of AUihama was, 
in 18.^), $2-28,'204,33.J ; in 1860, .$4;i.5,'237,078 ; and in 
1870, $-201,855,841. Thus it will be seen that the 
wealth of the state more than doubled during 
the decade from 1850 to 1860 ; but f(ill off nearly 
three-fifths during the decade preceding the 
last census. This g-reat decrease is mainly due 
to the emancipation of the slaves; for the 
assessed value of personal property fell from 
$277,1(34,673 in 18fi0 to $38,359,552. But the assessed 
value of real estate also decreased considerably, 
to wit ; from $155,034,089 to $117 ,2-23,043. 

The total amount of state debt at the close of 
the fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, 1870, was $5,382,- 
800 exclusive of the indebtedness to the edu- 
cational fund, of $3,095,210, making a total of 
$8,478,010, for which annual interest was to be 
provided. The total indebtedness of the coun- 
ties was $1,702,173, and of the cities, towns, etc., 
$3,094,963. The amount of all indebtedness, 
both state and local, was therefore $13,277,146 or 
over six per cent, on the estimated value of the 
real and personal property of the state ; and 
$13.32 to each inhabitant. 

In the Auditor's Report for the fiscal year end- 
ing Sept. 30, 1872, the bonded debt amounted to 
$5,661,800 ; educational fund indebtedness, $2,801,- 
533.84 ; outstanding state certificates, $396,600 ; 
outstanding Auditor's warrants, $197,507.71, and 
temporary loan, $6,000, making tlie aggregate 
indoljtedness, $9,063,441. The contingent liabili- 
ties, in the form of state Ijonds for railroad pur- 
poses, amounted to $17,110,000; which sum is 
partly secured by lands and other securities 
within the control of the state in case of default. 
The Auditor estimates the direct indebtedness, 
arising from aid granted to railroads not to ex- 
ceed $3,000,000. Should this entire amount be- 
come a burden to the people, the amount of in- 
terest on the total indebtedness would not ex- 
ceed $802,788, which could be discharged by a 
tax-levy of 4-10 of one per cent. Add to this 
4-10 of one per cent, for state expenses and 
schools, and 3-^ niill tax for sinking fund, then 
the annual tax would be 8>^ mills or $1.85 per 
he^jjl of population. 

Jiducation.—Tlw Constitution provides that 
a state Board of Education shall establish 
throughout the state, in each township or other 
school district, one or more schools, at which all 
the children between the ages of five and twenty 
one years may attend free of charge. Nearly 
4,000 public schools were established under this 
proviso during the first scholastic year of 1868. 
The University of Alabama, located at Tusca- 
loosa, is also placed under the control of this 
board, who, in this respect, act as its "regent.i," 
The Medical College of Alabama, located in Mo- 
bile, and the Law School atMontgomer3% which 
were chartereil in 1860, are branches or depart- 
ments of the University. 

Besides the University, there are throe col- 
legiate institutions in Alabama, viz. : Spring 
Hill College (Uoman Catholic), in St. Joseph ; 
Howard College (Baptist), in Marion; and the 
Emerson Institute in Mobile. 

The total number of children of school age in 
1870 wa,s estimated at 336,000; of whom about 



160,000, or less than one-half, were in the public 
schools. There are no data which show to what 
extent the remaining hall enjoy educational ad- 
vantages, or whether they enjoy any. Accord- 
ing to the census reports there were in 1850, 33,- 
757 white adults in the state, who could neither 
read nor write. In 1860 the class of illiterates 
had increased to 37,605. 

The census reports 89 newspapers, published 
in the state, which have a circulation of 91,165. 
Of these there were 9 dailies, 2 tri-wecklies, 2 
semi-weeklies and 76 weeklies. 

Counties. — Alabama is divided into the fol- 
lowing 68 counties : Autauga, Baker, Baldwin, 
Barbour, Benton, Bibb, Blount, Bullock, But-

All A SKA. — PoOT^ion.— According to the 
ti'eaty with Russia, concluded in 1867, Alaska 
mav be said to extend from the Diomede islands 
in Behring Straits, in N. lat. 6(!°, \V. long. 168° 50' 
eastward along the shore of the Ai-ctic Ocean 
to W. long. 143°, N. lat. 69° 30' ; and from the 
Diomede islands southward to >*. lat. 50°, W. 
iong. 168°, thence eastward to the 143d meridian. 
It is a peninsula, occupying the extreme north- 
western portion of North Amei-ica, in area 577,- 
390 sq. mis. The shore line is estimated to be 
7,860 statute mis. 

Surface.— The surface of Alaska is broken 
and mountainous. It is ti-aversed bv the most 
northern range of the Rocky Mts., and a large 
number of smaller chains intersect it in all di- 
rections. Most of the mountains do not rise 
above three thousand feet in height, but several 
greatly exceed this. Mount Fairweather rises 
to 14,768 feet in height, and the volcanoes, Mt. 
St. Elias, 14,958 feet and lUamano 12,086 feet, rank 
among the loftiest peaks of the continent. But 
little of the country offers land suitable for 
agriculture, the greater part I^eing rocky and 
sterile, or else swampy. 

Jiivers.—ThQ principal river of Alaska is the 
Yukon or Kwitchpak It enters Behring Sea 
between 64° and 05°, and is navigable for steam- 
boats for near a thousand miles from its mouth. 
Coppermine, R., also navigable, has its mouth 
about lat. 60°. It is not far from Mt. St. Elias. 
The Steekin or St. Francis falls into the sea 
about 56° N. lat. In the lower part of its course 
it is navigable for about 50 miles. At that (iis- 



tance from the sea it forms cataracts and rap- 
ids, above which it again becomes navigable. 

Climate and Productions. — A warm ocean cur- 
rent flows along the south coast of Alaska, 
very materially modifying the climate from 
that in the sarne latitude on the eastern coast 
of the continent. At Sitka the thermometer 
rarely falls below zero, the mean temperature 
being about 44° Fah. The warm and moist sea 
air meeting with a cold current from the moun- 
tains causes frequent fogs and rains along the 
southern coast. The average rainfall is between 
80 and 90 inches annually, the months of Sep- 
tember and October being especially wet. It is 
said that about 250 days in the year are cloudy 
and rainy. In the northern part of the penin- 
sula this influence is not felt, but as this por- 
tion lies within the Arctic circle, the climate 
is intensely cold, and the brief summer does 
not suffice to thaw the frozen soil. 

A lieavy growth of timber covers the soil on 
the southern sea-board, lofty trees clothing the 
mountains to a height of 2,.5O0 or 3,000 feet. Tlie 
forests consist of Sitka spruce, yellow cedar, 
flr, hemlock, larch, and kindred species. In the 
more northern districts the soil is barren. Ow- 
ing to the constant moisture the cereals do not 
ripen, the potatoes are small and watery, and 
garden vegetables yield but moderately. Cran- 
berries and salmon berries grow wild. 

The wealth of Alaska is in its furs and fish- 
eries. The latter include cod and mackerel, the 
former in great abundance. Seals, bear, deer, 
wolves, and other wild animals are numerous 
on the shores and in the interior. The seals 
afford a profitable source of revenue in their 
oil and skins, but the land animals are little 
hunted by the whites, owing to the impassable 
nature of the soil. 

Population. — The Indians of Alaska include 
the Eskimo along the northern shore, and the 
Kolusch and Kenai along the southern. The 
white inhabitants, exclusive of the military, 
numbered, in 1S70, 4(il souls. They are princi- 
pally engaged in the fisheries and fur trade. 
The natives are without ambition, and have 
been contaminated by the intemperate and 
depraved habits of many of the white resi- 
dents. Sitka, on the islaiid of New Archangel, 
is the principal settlement. 

History. — Alaska was discovered by the navi- 
gator Vitus Behring in 1741, from whom are 
named Behring Straits and Behring Sea. He 
took possession of it for the Russian govern- 
ment, in whose employ he was at the time. In 
1778 Captain Cook sailed along the western 
coast as far north as ley Cape, in lat. 70° 20' N. 
In the year 1799 the reg-ion was granteil to the 
Russian-American Tradiug Company, who es- 
tablished posts at Sitka and elsewhere. Propo- 
sitions for its sale to the U. S. were made in 
1866, and the purchase was effected the follow- 
ing year for $7,200,000 in gold. Our government 
took formal possession in October, 1867, since 
which date it has been under the charge of our 
military authorities stationed at Sitka.

Appalachian Monntains, the great belt of 
highlands, occupying the eastern part of the 
linited States, and extending from the shores 
of the Gulf of St. Lawrence to northern Ala- 
bama and Georgia. They are often called Alle- 
ghany Mts., but improperlv, for this name ap- 
plies only to some of the numerous mountain 
ranges, of which the system is composed. 

The Appalachian system determines the di- 
rection ol the Atlantic coast line, which in<^en- 
ei-ftl runs parallel to the inflections of its chains 
•with remarkable regularity. It is composed of 
a series of uniform folds or chains, often pre- 
Benting the appearance of continuous walls, 
and but seldom varied by any peaks or crags. 
The extreme northern and southern portions,' 
however, are diversified and much complicatecl 
In their structure. On the E. it is bounded by 

6 



the coast plain, which intervenes between Its 
base and the shore line, varying in Avidth from 
about 50 mis. in New England to 250 mis, in 
North and South Carolina. In the W. it expands 
into an undulating table-land, gently descend- 
ing toward the great central plain of the Missis- 
sippi and St. Lawrence, and occupying large 
portions of Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and 
Alabama. Thus the traveler who traverses 
the Appalachians from the Atlantic to the In- 
terior first encounters a low plain gradually 
ascending to the foot of the momitains, then a 
belt of chains and ridges with intervening val- 
leys, and at last rolling plateaus slightly in- 
clined toward the N. W., and cut with deep 
transverse valleys. 

A conspicuous 'feature of the Appalachians is 
the large central valley, which passes through 
the entire system from N. to S., called by Mr. 
Rogers, formerly state geologist of Pa., the 
Great A]ipalachian Valley. In the N. it is oc- 
cupied by Lake Champlain and the Hudson R. ; 
in Pa. it bears the name of Cumberland Valley j 
in Va. it is the Shenandoah Valley, and still fur- 
ther S. it is the Valley of East Tennessee, which 
is drained by the upper course of the Tennessee 
R. The chain which borders this great valley 
on the 1'. extends without much interruption 
troni Vermont to Alabama. In Vermont it 
bears the name of Green Mts. ; in New York, 
that of the Highlands ; in Pennsylvania and 
Maryland, that of the South Mts. ; in Virginia, 
the Blue Ridge ; and on the boundary of N. Car- 
olina and Tennessee it is known by local names, 
as the Iron Mts., Smoky Mts., and Unaka Range. 
The highest ranges of the entire Appalachian 
system are outlying groups of this great chain. 
These are the White Mts. of N. H., situated E. 
of the Green Mts., and separated from them by 
the valley of the Connecticut R. ; and the Blua 
Ridge of N. C, which inosculates with the 
"N'irginia Blue Ridge, and from which a series 
of spurs extend toward the Great Unaka Range, 
such as the lofty Black Mts. and others. 

W. and N. W. of the great valley there extends 
a zone of chains, separated by narrow A'alleys, 
which zone greatly varies in widl ii in the dif- 
erent parts of the system and the number o'f 
chains which compose it. To this zone beloag 
the Adirondack Mts. of N. Y. ; the numerous 
ranges of Central Pa., as the Blue Mts., Tusca 
rora Mts., Alleghany Mts., Laurel Ridge, Chest- 
nut Ridge and many others of Pennsylvania : 
the Shenandoah Mts., Great North Mts., Alle- 
ghany Mts., Greenbrier Mts,, Gauley Mts., etc., 
of Virginia ; and lastly, the Cumberland Mts. or 
Plateau of Kentucky and Tennessee. 

The following are tlie principal peaks of the 
Appalachians : 1. In the Wliite Mts. of N. H. : 
Mt. Washington, 6,288 ft.; Mt. Adams, 5,794 ft.; 
Mt. Jefferson, 5,714 tt.; Mt. Clay, 5,553 ft., and Mt. 
Madison, 5,365ft. 2. In the (ireen Mts. of Vt.: 
Equinox, Mt., 3,872 ft.; Shrewsbury Pk., 3,845 ft.: 
Killington Pk. 4,221 ft.; Mt. Mansfield, 4,430 ft.; 
Camel llump, 4,088 ft.; Mt. Lincoln, 4,078 ft. 3. In 
the Adirondacks : Mt. Tahawus or Mt. Marcy, 
5,379 ft. 4. In the Blue Ridge of Va. : Peaks of 
Otter, nearly 4,000 ft. 5. In the Blue Ridge of N. 
C. : High Pinnacle, 5,701 ft.; Rocky Knobs, 5,08© 
ft.; Gray Beard, 5,448 ft. 6. In the Black Mts. of 
N. C: Mt. Mitchell, 0,582 ft.; Mt. Gibbs, 0,591 ft.; 
Sugaiioaf, 6,403 ft.; Black Dome or MitcheU's 
Pk. or Clingman's Pk., 6,707 ft.; Balsam Cone or 
Mt. Guyot, 6,671 ft.; Mt. Sandoz, 6,019 ft.; Rocky 
Tail Pk., 6,488 ft.; Bowlin's Pyramid, 6,348 ft., 
and Blackstock Knob, 6,380 ft. 

Notwithstanding the uniformity and conti- 
nuity of the Appalachian chains, gaps and de- 
pressions are numerous and render the system 
on the whole easy of access, so that it was possi. 
ble to construct several railroads across tha 
different ridges without encountering very 
serious engineering difflculties. But there is 
only one valley which cuts through the entire 
system from the coast plain to the interior. 



APALACHICOLA BAY. 



82 



APPOMATTOX. 



This is the valley of tbe Hudson R. with it* two 
branches, the valley of Lake Champlain and 
of the Mol-.awk 11. A rise of the ocean of but 
140 ft. would join the Bav of Xew York with the 
St. Lawrence R., fill up the valley of the Hud- 
son and Cliamplain and convert New England 
with New Brunswick into an island ; and a fur- 
ther rise of 500 ft. would separate the whole vast 
system from the continent and transform it into 
three separate islands : the Kew England re- 
gion, the Adirondacks, and the Southern i-egion. 
The mineral wealth of the Appalachians is very 
great. Productive beds of bituminous coal oc- 
cupy the entire middle section of Pa.. W. of the 
Alleghany Mts., and extend to central Ohio and 
the bank's of the Tennessee R. in Alabama. 
Eastern Pennsylvania contains rich anthracite 
coal mines, and the mountain chain east of the 
Great Valley abounds in magnetic and other ex- 
celleiit iron ores. Zinc ores are mined in Sussex 
CO., N. J., and Northampton co., Pa. Gold is 
found in Nova Scotia, Virginia, the Carolinas, 
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. Valuable 
copper deposits occur in tlie states of Virginia, 
Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. Petroleum, 
the product ot the decomposition of subter- 
ranean organic substances, seems to exist in 
iiiexhaustiljle quantities in Western Pennsyl- 
vania; andbnilding materials, such as granite, 
diflerent kinds of marble, sandstone, etc., are 
found everywhere. 

Apalacbi'cola Bay, an extension of the Gulf 
of Mexico on the S. coast of Florida, is bound- 
ed by the long and low island of St. George.

ence of the Elint and Chattahoochio Rs., in 
Florida, flows in a S. direction between Jack- 
son and Calhoun cos. on the W., and Gadsden,

ARIZONA, a territory in the south-western 
part of the United States, is bounded on the X. 
by Utah and Nevada ; on the E. by New Mexico ; 
on the AV. by California and Nevada, and on the 
S. by till! republic of Mexico. It extends from 
109° to 114'^ 47' 61^" long. AV. of Greenwich, and 
from 31° 19' 24" to 37° N. hit. The Colanulo R. 
forms part of the western boundary. Arizona 
has an urea of 113,916 sq. mis., or 72,1)06,240 acres, 
being nearly three times as large as the state 
of New York. 

The surface of Arizona consists of elevated 
table-lands, which are crossed by mountain 
ranges trending from N. AV. to S. E. nearly par- 
allel to each other. The northern part of the 
territory, being occupied by the \Vhite Mesa, 
has probably an average elevation above the 
sea of 8,000 feet. It is an arid region, cut up by 
deep canyons, and joins the Colorado Plateau 
further S., upon which rise the isolated and lofty 
peaks known as Mt. Kendrick, San Franci.sco 
Mt.. Mt. Sitgreavcs, and Bill AVillianis Mts. 
From this cluster of peaks extend the MogoUou 
Mts. in a south-easterly direction, and join the 
Sierra Blaiica or AVhiie Mts. of New Mexico. 
The next range consists of the San Francisco 



Mts., lying AV. of the river of the same name, 
which joins the Rio Salado, and the Pinaleiio 
Mts., which are intersected by the valley of the 
Gila R. The north-western section of Arizona 
is traversed by the Aquarius Mts., the Cerbeat 
Range, the Black Mts., and the Mohave Mts. 
The Granite Mts., Eagle Tail Mts., and Dome 
Mts. occupy the region between the lower 
course of th(3 Gila R. aiid the Bill AA'illiains Fork. 
The Peloncello Mts. lie ]iartly in New Jlexico 
and partly in south-eastern Arizona. This is 
a fine range, abounding in passes. The most 
northerly is Doubtful Pass, and eight mis. S. is 
Stean's Pass. In leaving the Peloncello Mts. 
the traveler crosses the \'alle de Sauz (or AVil- 
low Valley), which is traversed by the llio San 
Domingo, and then encounters the Chiricahui 
Mts., which form a southerly prolongation of 
the Pinalefio Mts., and appear'also to be cnntinn- 
ons with the Sierra Matlre jiroper of 3Iexico. 
The next two ranges he meets are the Sierra 
Calitro and the Sierra Santa Catarina, which are 
separated one from another by the A'alley of 
the Rio San Pedro. The last range is "suc- 
ceeded by an extensive plateau, parts of which 
are covered with salt incrustations, and bevond 
this follow lower chains, as the Ajo Mts., Cabe- 
za Prieta ^Rits., and Sierra de la Gila. 

Rivers. — The principal river is the Colorado 
of the AVest, which traverses the northern part 
of the Territory, and then forms the western 
boundary, separating it from Nevada, California 
and the Mexican state of Lower California. This 
largo stream flows within Arizona through 
the famous Grand Canyon, a stupendous Assure 
with perpendicular w.alls rising from 500 ta 
1,.500 feet. The Black Canyon, below CalU-ille, 
lies partly in Nevada anil partly in Arizona. 
It resembles the Grand Canyon, though inferior 
in length as well as in depth. The other rivers 
of the Territory are tributaries of the Colora- 
do. Tlie Flax R., or Little Colorado, traverses 
the loftj' plateau which occupies the north- 
eastern section, and flows parallel to the Mo- 
gollon Mts. It rises in the AVhito Sits., near the 
boundary of New Mexico, and receives the 
Zuni R., the Puerco of the West, the Cotton- 
wood Fork, and numerous small streams, which 
drain the eastern slopes of the Mogollon Range. 
Tlie lower course of the Flax R. passes through 
a deep canyon, which joins the Grand Canyon 
of the parent stream. The Bill AVilli.ams Fork, 
another affluent of the Colorado, rises in the 
Aquarious Mts., flows S. to the junction with 
the Santa Maria R., and then AV. The Gila R. 
rises in New MexicOj and pursues a general 
westerly ilirection to its junction with the Col- 
orado, near Arizona City. Its southern afllu- 
ents are the Rio San Domingo, the Rio San 
Pedro, which receives tlie Aravaypa, and the 
Rio Santa Cruz. Its northern are the Rio Na- 
troso, Rio Prieto, Rio Bonito, Rio San Carlos, 
and the Rio Salado, or Rio San Francisco. The 
last named is the largest of these streams, and 
with its numerous tributaries drains a large 
area of central Arizona west of the Mogollon 
Mts. Turkey Cr. and the Rio Hassaya, which 
flow through valleys west of the San Francis-co, 
terminate in the arid plains, and do not reach 
the Gila. None of these rivers are navigable, 
but they are important, as the country depends 
upon tlieir waters for irrigation and mining. 

CHmate, Soil, a7id VcgeUilion. — The climate of 
Arizona is salubrious and pleasant, except in 
tlie lower sections near the Gila aiul Colorado 
rivers, where the summers are often excessively 
hot. The rain-falls occur in June, Julj', August 
and September. During the rest of the year the 
necessary supply of water for farming has to bo 
drawn from the numerous streams, which are 
fell by never-failing springs and the melting 
snow in the mountains. 

Extensive tracts, adapted to agriculture, are 
found in all the river v.iUeys. Such are several 
sections of the vallej' of the Colorado. The 



ARIZONA.

ARKANSAS. 



valley of the San Pedro, more than a hundred 
miles in length, is especially productive. Tim- 
ber, though not abundant, is found in sufficient 
Quantities for home consumption. 

In the noithorn part of the territory exten- 
Bive pine forests cover the principal mountain 
chains ; and the river bottoms and valleys 
everywhere furnish mesquito, cottonwood, wal- 
nut, oak, elm, ash, etc. Many sections of the 
table-lands produce an abundance of nutritive 
grasses, and are well adapted to grazing. 

Pcrpulalion.— Arizona, was organized as a ter- 
ritory by act of Congress of February 24, 18(53 ; 
and it hud in 1870 a population of 9,658, of whom 
S,S49 were natives of the United States, and 
5,80'J born in foreign countries ; mostly in Mex- 
ico (4,339). The males, 6,887 in niimber, greatly 
exceed the females, 2,771. The number of 
■whites was 9,581; of colored persons, 26; of 
Chinese, 20 ; -and of taxed Indians, 31. Those 
Indians who maintain tribal relations, and are 
not taxed, are estimated to number 32,0.52, of 
whom 27,700 lead the life of nomads, and 4.352 
live on reservations and at agencies. The 
Maricopas, "i'umas, Papagos and Pimas belong 
to the latter class and live in villages, produc- 
ing large crops of wheat, corn, melons and 
beans. They are friendly and hospitable, 
whereas the nomadic Apaches are hostile, and 
refuse reconciliation with the whites. Their 
depredations have seriously retarded the 
growth of the settlements. 

In agriculture there were engaged 1,285 per- 
sons ; in professional and personal services, 
3,115; in trade and transportation, 591 ; and in 
manufactures and mechanical and mining in- 
dustries, 1,093. Thus the aggregate of persons 
following some useful occupation amounted to 
6,030 persons, a very large proportion in the 
total number of inhabitants. 

Agriculture is carried on to a very limited' 
extent. There were in 1870 but 14,585 acres of 
Improved land, and 7,222 acres of unimproved 
land m all the farms of the territory; and the 
cash value of farms amounted to $161,340, or 
$7.40 per acre. The estimated value of farm 
productions, including betterments, was $277,- 
998. The productions included 27,052 bush, of 
spring wheat, 32,041 bush, of corn, 55,077 bush. 
of barley, 3,417 bush, of peas and beans, and 
14,500 lbs. of cheese. The value of all live stock 
was $143,996. There were 335 horses, 401 mules 
and asses, 938 milch cows, 587 working OX'S!!, 
3,607 Other cattle, 803 sheep and 720 swine. 

Manufactures — The manufacturing industry 
Of Arizona is inconsiderable. There were 18 
manufacturing establishments, emplojang 84 
hands and 5 steam-engines, with- 80 liorse- 
power, turning out products to tlie value of 
$185,410, which consisted chiefly of flour, feed, 
lumber and cheese. 

Mming. — The mineral wealth of Arizona is 
unquestionably very great, and embraces gold, 
silver, copper, lead, iron, tin, nickel, platinum, 
cinnabar and coal. But the unsettled condi- 
tion of the territory, Indian depredations, and 
difficulty of access, have thus far prevented the 
development of this branch of industry. The 
Hintzelman or Cerro Gorilo mine, 24 mis. W. of 
Tubae, is the most important, and yields rich 
silver ore, assaying over $1,000 to the ton. Tlie 
Mowry mine, near the Lanvita valley, within 
10 mis. of the Mexican boundary, produces 
argentiferous galena, impregnated with arsenic. 
Other mines are the Santa Rita, Salero, Cahuabi, 
and San Pedro. 

There are no railways in .Arizona, and the 
roads in the wet season are very bad. The 
transportation is chiefly by pack-mules. 

Wealth and Taxation. — The true value of real 
and personal estate was $3,440,791. The assessed 
value was but $1,410,295, which included $038,355, 
for real estate, aud $871,940 for personal prop- 
erty. The taxation, not national, amounted to 
^31,323. 



Education.— T\iQ number of children between 
6 and 21 years of age was, in 1870, 1,923 ; yet 
there were no schools in the territory. The 
legislature of 1871 passed a law setting aside 10 
cents on each $100 of taxable property, and 
gave authority to the several boards and super- 
visors to levy additional taxes sufficient to 
maintain a free school in each school district. 
The governor was made ex-offlico superinten- 
dent of public instruction, and the judges of 
probate were made county superintendents. 

Oue newspaper is published in each of the 
following towns: Tucson, Arizona city and 
Prescott. 

Oovernment. — The territory was organized. 
February 24, 1803, and the executive branch con- 
consists of a Governor, Secretary of State, a 
Treasurer and Keceiver-tieneral, and an Audi- 
tor. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court and Probate Courts. The Chief Justice 
and the two Associate J udges composing the 
Supreme Court are appointed by the President. 
This court holds one session annually at Tuc- 
son, commencing the fourth Monday of Oc- 
tober. 

Arizona is divided into the following five 
counties: Mohave, Pah Ute, Pima, Yavapai 
and Yuma. Tucson is the capital of the terri- 
tory.

ARKANSAS is bounded on the N. by Mo., on 
the W. by the Ind. Ter. and Tex., and on the S. by 
La. The E. boundary is formed by the Missis- 
sippi R., which separates it from Miss, and 
Tenn. It extends from 33° K. lat. to 36° 30' N. 
lat., and from 89° 32' W. long, to 94° 38' W. long. 
The greatest width from N. to S. is 241 mis. and 
from E. to W. 285 mis. It has an area of 52,198 
sq. mis. or 33,406,720 acres. 

History. — Arkansas, so called from the Akansa 
tribe of Indians, was originally embraced in 
the territory of Louisiana, and was purchased 
in 1803 from the French government bj' Thomas 
Jelferson. In 1812 it was separated from the 
parent colony and organized under territorial 
government. It was admitted as a state in 1836. 
Surface. — The B. part of the state, embrac- 
ing a portion of the Mississippi Valley, consists 
chiefly of a rich alluvial plain, which is much 
cut up by " sloughs," lagoons, and swamps. 
About 100 mis. from the Mississippi R. the 
ground begins to rise, and toward the W. be- 
comes hilly and broken. The Ozark Mts. oc- 
cupy the N. W. part of the state. The various 
ranges of liills, which trend E. and W,, N. of the 
Arkansas R. valley, are collectively called the 
Boston Mts. The Petit Jean range accompanies 
the southern bank of the Arkansas R. The 
CrowleyRidge enters the state from the N. and 
forms the water-shed between the affluents of 
the St. Francis R. and those of the Cache R. It 
terminates 4 mis. W. of Helena in Phillips co. 

Minerals and Mineral Springs. — Arkansas 
possesses an abundance of mineral resources.

Arkansas cos., and iron in nearly all the hilly 
portions of the state. Lead is also abundant, 
and copper occurs in Carroll, Fulton, Independ- 
ence, Izard, Lawrence, Marion and Pulaski cos. 
A ridge in Hot Springs co. is made up of the 
most beautiful variety of novaculite, or Ai-- 
kansas whetstone. It is of very line texture, 
consists mainly of pure silica, and is considered 
the best in the world. Porcelain earth or 
kaolin has been discovered in some wells in 
Pulaski CO., 18 feet below the general surface 
©f the country, and is believed to extend over 
fc considerable area. Granite, marble, freestone 
and gypsum are abundant, and coal, both bitu- 
minous and anthracite, is found in many locali- 
ties. 

Arlvansas abounds in mineral springs. Sul- 
phur and elialybeate springs occur in Washing- 
ton, Van Buren and Crawford cos. The cele- 
brated Hot Springs in the county, which de- 
rives from them its name, are among the most 
remarkable phenomena of our country. They 
issue from a steep b ank nearly 200 feet above 
the Hot Spring Cr., more than 100 in numljer, 
and of temperatures varying from 140° to 150°. 
A clicmical analj-sis in D. D. Owen's report 
proves them to contain free carbonic acid, 
magnesia, soda, potash, chlorine and sulphuric 
acid. Their medical value, however, is chiefly 
attributed to their high temperature. 

The mammoth sprnig in Fulton co. issues 
from a large cavernous opening, 40 yards in cir- 
cumference, and boils up with a constant flow, 
at the rate of 8,000 barrels per minute. It affords 
valuable water-power. The water contains 
sucli a large aniount of carbonic acid, that its 
surface is in a continuous state of efl'ervcscence 
or bubbling. The temperature is 60° Fahr. 

Jiivers.—'i'he numerous streams of Arkansas 
belong to the system of the Mississippi li., 
which washes the eastern shore for a distance 
of more than 400 mis. The Arkansas K. inter- 
sects the state from W. to. E. and empties into 
the Mississippi near Napoleon. It is navigable 
during the greater part of the year. It has 
been leveed on both banks from I^ine Blulf, in 
Jefferson co., to its mouth ; and the Mississippi 
lias been leveed thence southward beyond the 
limits of the state. The soil thus reclaimed is 
exceedingly i-ich and has become very valuable. 
The affluents of the Arkansas in this state are. 
Mulberry 11., Big Piney K., Illinois Bayou, 
Bayou Metoe and Fourche laFave. 

The Wliite li. rises in the Ozark Mts. in Madi- 
son CO., flows through sontliern Missouri, re- 
enters Arkansas in Carroll co., and then flows 
S. E. to Elizabeth in Jackson co. Here it 
turns to the S. and at last divides into two 
branches, sending one into the Arkansas and 
the other into the Mississippi. Its course is 
very crooked. The Buffalo Fork and Little 
Bed R. enter into the White R. from the VV., 
the Black K., Cache R. and Bayou Deview from 
the N. The St. Francis R. enters the state from 
the N., flows through the north-eastern coun- 
ties and empties into the Mississippi, about a 
mile above the village of Sterling. 

The Red R. flows through soutli-western Ar- 
kansas. The Washita R., its tributary, the Sa- 
line R., and the Bayou Bartholemew are the 
largest streams which drain tlie state S. of tlie 
Arkansas R. Nearly all the rivers mentioned 
above are navigable for considerable distances, 
except during ilie summer months, when they 
become greatly reduced by excessive evapora- 
tion. 

CVtma^e.— Arkansas has a mild climate. The 
mean annual temperature in the northern part 
is about 58°, in the middle 61° and in the south- 
era 64°. Observations near Little Rock give 
the following results : Mean annual tempera- 
ture, 62°, 66 ; mean temperature of winter, 45°, 
82 and of summer, 7!)°, 66; highest temperature 
Observed, yy°, and lowest temperature observed, 



8°, The north-western part of the state being 
the most elevated part, has also tlie coolest cli- 
mate, the south-eastern the hottest. The low 
alluvial bottom lands of the Mississippi have 
an unhealthy climate, while the far largest por- 
tion of the state is free from endemic diseases. 
The rainfall varies from 55 inches in tlie south- 
eastern parts, to 50 inches in the middle, and 40 
inches in the north-western. 

Vegetation. — Arkansas is mostly covered with 
pine torests, although there are some prairies ot 
considerable extent. Grand Prairie, between 
the Arkansas and White lis., is nearly 100 mla. 
long and 30 mis. broad. The forests of tho 
hilly parts of the state consist of oak, maples, 
hickory and other species of deciiluous trees, 
while the large rivers are fringed with broad 
belts of dense cotton-wood, cypress and gum 
trees. In the southern parts of the state pine 
forests predominate. 

A7iimuls. — Arkansas still abounds in wild ani- 
mals. The bear, deer, wolf, wild cat, raccoou, 
etc., occur frequently in the forests. The buf- 
falo, herds of which 'formerly roamed over the 
prairies, is now Imt rarely met with. The rat- 
tle-snake and the moccasin snake are quite 
common. The streams abound in fish. 

Population. — In 1870 Arkansas liad a popula- 
tion of 484,471. The density of population was, 
therefore, 'J.28 inhabitants to the sq. ml. The 
following table gives the total population from 
decade to decade : 

Inc. in 
per cent. 

1820 14,255 

1830 30,388 112.91 

1840 ... 97,674 221.09 

1850 209,897 115.12 

1860 435,450 107.46 

1870 484,471 11.26 

The greatest increase took place during the 
decade from 1830 to 1840 ; the smallest during 
tlie last decade, which includes the four years 
of the civil war. 

Of the total population there were 362,115 
whites, and 122,169 colored ; or 74.74 per cent, of 
the former, and 25.26 per cent, of the latter. By 
far the largest part of the population was 
native born, to wit. : 479,445 ; and only 5,026 were 
foreign born, of whom 342 were born in British 
America ; 98 in China ; 65 in Denmark ; 236 in 
France ; 1,562 in Germany ; 526 in England ; 1,428 
in Ireland ; 150 in Scotland ; 71 in Holland ; 30 in 
Italy ; 134 in Sweden, and 104 in Switzerland. 
The number of the blind was 333 ; of the deaf 
and duml). 265 ; of the insane, 161, and ot the 
idiotic, 289. 

Occupations. — The population over 10 years of 
age numbered 341,737, and 135,949 of these were 
engaged in the various useful occupations, to 
wit : in agriculture, 109,310 : in professional and 
personal services, 14,877 ; in tratle and transpor- 
tation, 5,491, and in manufactures, and mechani- 
cal ami mining pursuits, 6,271. 

Agriculture.— Ot the total area of the state 
(33,406,720 acres) only 7,597,296 acres, or 22.7 per 
cent., were in farms, showing a decrease since 
1860 of 1,886,410 acres. The improved lands 
amounted to 1,859,821 acres, and the woodland 
and unimproved land in farms to 5,737,475 acres. 
The number of farms, however, has increased 
from 39,004 in 1860, to 49,424 in 1870, shewing that 
the average size of farms is considerably les8 
at present than it was Ijefore the emancipation 
of the slaves. 

The cash value of farms in 1870 was $40,029,698. 
or $5.28 per acre, ;j,nd the estimated value of all 
farm productions, including additions to stock, 
was $40,701,699. 

The staple product of the state is cotton 
which yielded, in 1S60, 367,393 bales, and in 1870 
247,968 bales. The otlier agricultural protiucts 
were: Indian-corn, 13,382,145 bush.; wheat, 741,- 
736 bush. ; rye, 27,645 Ijush. ; oats, 528,777 bush. : 
Irish pot's, 422.196 bush.; sweet pot's, 890,631

bush. ; rice, 73,021 lbs. ; tobacco, 594,886 lbs. ; 
wool, 214,784 lbs. ; butter, 2,753,931 lbs.; hay, 
6,839 tons, and cane sugar, 92 hhds. 

The value of live stock was $17,222,566 ; and of 
agricultural implements, $2,237,409. There were 
in the state 92,013 horses ; 36,202 mules and 
asses ; 128,959 milch cows ; 35,387 working oxen ; 
193,589 head of other cattle ; 161,077 sheep, and 
841,129 swine. The value of slaughtered ani- 
mals was $3,843,923. 

iV/i!'?u;»(7.— The Spadra Coal and Iron Compa- 
ny own 1,585 acres of land on the Arkansas R., 
in Johnson CO., imderlaid by a bed of supe- 
rior coal. The company design to erect works 
for the reduction of the iron ore on their prop- 
erty. The American Zinc Company are in suc- 
cessful operation on a tract of 2,000 acres in 
Sharp CO. They have erected buildings and 
machinery, and begun to ship zinc and copper 
ore. The Ouita Coal Company are working a 
bed of coal in Pope co., 80 mis. from Little 
Eock. The coal fields of the state are as ex- 
tensive as those of Pa., and will be a source of 
wealth, yet awaiting development. 

3Ianu/actures.—Avis.ansa,3 has abundant water- 
power, cheap labor, and illimitable quantities 
of the raw material entering into the thou- 
sands of manufactured products consumed by 
a civilized people. But thus far this business 
pursuit is in its infancy. The census reports 
1,079 establishments, which employed 3,206 
hands, 25H steam-engines with 6,101 horse-power; 
and yielding products to the value of $4,629,234. 
The principal articles Avere: cotton goods, 
$22,562 ; woollen goods, $78,690 ; curried leather, 
^0,493 ; tanned leather, $42,528 ; machinery, $17,- 
000; cast-iron, $10,000; agricultural implements, 
$12,000; flour and feed, $1,670,416; sawed lumber, 
$1,344,403; che-wing tobacco, $5,800; cigars, $14,- 
000 ; bricks and tiles, $41,000. 

Internal Improvements and Commerce. — Arkan- 
sas has considerable river trade, exporting the 
surplus of agricultural productions chiefly to 
New Orleans, and importing the commodities 
reqiiired for home consumption. The large 
rivers of the state afford over 1,000 mis. of navi- 
gable water-ways. 

In 1862 Arkansas had 88 mis. of railroads ; in 
1872, 258 mis. The roads are as follows : The 
Memphis & Little llock R. R., from Memphis, 
Tenn., to Little Rock, 131 mis., is doing a pay- 
ing business; the Little Rock & Fort Smith 
R. R., from the capital to the western part of 
the state, 50 mis. in operation and 60 mis. more 
graded ; the Little Rock, Pine Bluff & New Or- 
leans R. R., 20 mis. of track laid and iron pur- 
chased for 40 mis. more ; the Mississippi, Oua- 
chita & Red River R. R., from Eunice to Mis- 
sissippi R., 42 mis. completed and 20 mis. more 
graded ; Arkansas Central R. R., from Helena, 
on the Mississippi, to Aberdeen, thence to Lit- 
tle Rock, and thence due west, with a branch 
from Helena to Pine Bluff, 40 mis. completed 
and 110 mis. remaining under contract; the 
Kansas City & Fort Smith R. R., from Fort 
Smith due N., believed to be completed in 1873 ; 
the Cairo & Fulton R. R., from Cairo.. 111., to 
Pocahontas, Jacksonport and Little liock, and 
thence S. "W. through the state, under contract 
to be flnished to Fulton by Jan. 1, 1874, and the 
Memphis & Kansas It. R., from iMemphis, Tenn., 
through Jacksonport, Bates vi He and Yellville 
to Springfield, Mo., is under contract, and 
crosses the state from S. E. to N. W., connecting 
with the two lines above named. The Helena 
& Iron Mt. R. R. will pass through eastern Ar- 
kansas from S. to N., intersecting the 3Iemphis 
& Little Rock R. R. at Madison. 

Wealth and Finances.~ThQ estimated value 
Of real and personal property was in 1850, $39 - 
841,025; m 1860, $219,256,473, and in 1870, $1.56!- 
394,691. Since 1860 the wealth of the state has 
diminished $62,861,728, or nearly 29 per cent. The 
assessed value of real estate in 1870 was $'33,102,- 
304, and of personal estate $31,426,539. In 1860 



the former was $63,245,740, and the latter $116,- 
956,590. Thus, while the assessed value of real 
estate was a trifle greater in 1870 than in 1860, 
the value of personal estate fell off nearly three- 
fourths during this decade, a decrease mainly 
due to the abolition of slavery. 

The total public debt of Arkansas (not na- 
tional) was in 1870 (at the end of the month of 
June), $4,151,152. Of this amount the state debt 
was $3,459,557 ; the aggregate debt of the coun- 
ties, $.536,649, and of the towns, cities, etc.,$1.54,946. 

JSducation—AccoviMng to the census of 1860 
there were in Arkansas four colleges with 225 
students, but the war interrupted all educa- 
tional labors, and none of these colleges are 
now in operation. The constitution provides 
that the General Assembly shall establish and 
maintain free schools. It further provides for 
a State University with an agricultural de- 
partment. The State Board consists of a State 
Superintendent and ten District Superintend- 
ents. But it seems that the eflorts to establish 
public schools have been thus far but moder- 
ately successful. The free school system, how- 
ever, is attracting notice and meets with favor 
from the people. 

The number of school children in 1869 was esti- 
mated at 180,000, about 100,000 of whom were con- 
nected with the schools. 

The Arkansas Institute for the education of 
the blind, founded 12 years ago, and the Arkan- 
sas Deaf and Mute Institute, founded two years 
ago, are in successful operation. Both are 
located at Little Rock. 

Govern7nent.—The Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, 
Attorney-General and Superintendent of Pub- 
lic Schools, are chosen by the qualifled elec- 
tors of the state for a term of four years. The 
House of Representatives consists of 82 mem- 
bers chosen for two years, and the Senate of 
24 members chosen for four years. The Legis- 
lature meets every two years on the first Mon- 
day of January. 

All male persons, born in the United States, 
or naturalized, or having declared their inten- 
tion to become citizens of the United States, 
who are 21 years old and upward, shall have 
resided in the state for 6 months next iDreced- 
ing an election, and are at the time actual resi- 
dents of the county in which they ofter to vote, 
are electors. 

The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Jus- 
tice and four Associate Justices. It has appel- 
late jurisdiction and the supervision of all in- 
ferior courts. It holds annually two terms. 
The judges of the Supreme Court are appointed 
by the Governor for 8 years. 

"The Circuit Courts have original jurisdiction 
over criminal cases not otherwise provided for 
by law. The Judges and Attorneys of the Dis- 
trict Courts are appointed for four years by the 
Governor, with the advice and consent of the 
Senate.

Arkansas River, one of the largest tribu- 
taries of the Mississippi, rises in the Rocky 
Mts., in 39° 23' N. lat. anil 10ij° 20' long. W. of 
Greenwich. It first flows S. in a narrow valley 
between two mountain chains, west of the 
Middle Park, in Colorado, and then turns E., 
passing through the mountains, which extend 
between tlie San Luis Park and the South 
Park. Emerging from the Rocky Mts., it 
traverses the barren plains of E. Colorado 
and Kansas. Near Fort Dodge it deflects to 
the N. as far as Fort Zarab, whence it curves 
to the S. E., and passes through the N. E. 
part of Indian Ter. At Fort Smith it enters 
Arkansas, and divides it into two nearly 
equal sections, and at last joins the Missis- 
sippi near the town of Napoleon, in lat. 33° 22' 
N. Its entire length probably exceeds 2,300 
mis.; for 600 mis. it is over half a mle. wide. 
During the summer months it is too shallow 
to be navigable, but during the greater part 
of the year it floats steamboats for upward 
of 700 mis. above its mouth. The diflereuce 
between high and low water is 25 feet.

The city was founded in 1729, and received 
its name in 1745, in honor of Lord Baltimore. 
In 1780 it becamea port of entry. In 1850ithad 
169,0.54 inhabitants ; in 1860, 212,418, and in 1870, 
267,354 ; making it the sixth largest city in the 
Union. The number of families was 49,929, 
and the number of dwellings 40,350. In the 
various branches of industry 94,737 persons 
were occupied, including 1.3,880 domestic ser- 
vants ; 12,289 laborers ; 2,.507 launderers and

CO.) are made in the city. Iron foundries, 
steel works, leather tanneries, tobacco manu- 
factories, locomotive and machine works, 
cotton and woolen mills, carriage and wagon 
shops, are the most important establishments. 

In regard to foreign commerce, Baltimore 
ranks among the first cities of the Union. It 
imported in 1871 foreign goods to the amount 
of $24,672,871, and exported domestic goods to 
the amount of $15,037 85.5. New York and Bos- 
ton alone surpass it in importation, and the 
following seven cities in exportation: New 
York, Boston, New Orleans, Mobile, Philadel- 
phia, Savannah and San Francisco. In the 
year ended June 30, 1871, 832 vessels, with 315 - 
<34 tons, arrived from, and 686 vessels, with 
194,880 tons, cleared for foreign countries. 



During the same year the total number of 
registered vessels was 96 ; of enrolled vessels, 
1,128, and of licensed vessels, 186, making a 
total of 1,410 vessels, with 128,628 tons. Of these 
there were 796 sailing vessels ; 98 steamers, 
and 516 canal boats. 

The educational establishments of Balti- 
more are of the highest order, and compare 
favoi-ably with those of any other city in the 
country. The number of children between 
the ages of 5 and 20, in 1871, was estimated at 
75,000. Of these 34,169 were enrolled in the 
public schools, but the average attendance 
was only 19,279. The city had 75 primary 
schools, 37 grammar schools, 3 high schools, 
6 evening schools, and one normal school for 
the training of teachers. Among the higher 
institutions may be mentioned the Notre 
Dame Institute, Loyola College, St. Mary's 
College, the Theological Seminary of St. Sul- 
pice (all Roman Catiiolic), the Ba'ltimore Fe- 
male College, the Maryland College of Phar- 
macy, and the Baltimore College of Dental 
Surgery. The University of Maryland is at 
the corner of Green and Lombard streets, and 
includes a medical department, which was 
founded in 1807. The Athenaeum, at the cor- 
ner of Saratoga and St. Paul streets, is occu- 
pied conjointly by the Mercantile Library 
Association (26,000 volumes), the Baltimore 
Library (1.5,000 volumes), and the Maryland 
Historical Society. The Peabody Institute, 
founded by Geo. Peabody, is designed for 
literary and scientific purposes, and has 
already a well-selected library of 47,000 vol- 
umes, to which additions of from 3,000 to 4,000 
volumes are made annually. The splendid 
eharitips recently left the city by the late 
John Hopkins, to found Hospital, Sciiool, 
Park, etc., amounted to .$7,000,000— the most 
munificent gift ever made to an American city. 
There are thirty-three papers published in 
the city, of whicli the following are the prin- 
cipal dailies and weeklies : " Sun," " German 
Correspondent," " American and Commercial 
Advertiser," "Gazette," " Wecker," "News," 
"Weekly," "Bulletin," "Saturday Night," 
" Sunday Telegram," "Episcopal Methodist," 
"Good News," etc. 

The city is well provided with places of 
amusement. Holiday Street Theatre, burned 
1873, is now rebuilt, in an enlarged and im- 
proved form. Ford's Grand Opera House 
was opened 1871. The Academy of Music, 
recently built, is one of the largest in the 
country. Front Street Theatre Comique is 
devoted to comedy.

*Boston, cit5-, capital of Mass. and co. seat of 
Suffolk CO., is situated at the western ex- 
tremity of Boston B., an extension of Massa- 
chusetts B., in 42° 21' 22" N. lat. and 71° 4' 9" 
long. W. of Greenwich. The city comprises 
live sections: Boston proper, situated on the 
peninsula of Tremont or Trimount ; East Bos- 
ton, on the peninsula E. of Boston Harbor; 
South Boston ; the Highlands (formerly the 
city of Roxbury, Norfolk co.), and the Six- 
teenth Ward (formerly the city of Dorchester, 
Norfolk CO.). 

The first settler of Boston proper was the 
Rev. John Blackstone, who sold his claim to 
the peninsula for £30 sterliufj, and removed 
to Rhode Island in 1635. The lirst church was 
built in 1632 ; the first wharf in 1673 ; the first 
postmaster was appointed in 1677, and the first 
newspaper (the "Boston News-Letter ") was 
published in 1704. On the 23d of February, 
1822, the city was incorporated. Its ppijula- 
tion then was about 45,000. In 1850 Boston 
had 136,881 inhabitants ; in 1860, 177,840, and in 
1870, 250,526, inclusive of Roxbury and Dor- 
chester, which had been added to the cerpo- 
ration since the preceding census. The 
number of families was 48,188, averaging 5.20 
persons each ; and of dwellings, 29,623, or 8,46 
persons to each dwelUng. 

The old city is irregularly built, and has 
many crooked and narrow streets. The nar- 
row isthmus, called the " Neck," which con- 
nects the old citj' with the mam land of Rox- 
bury, has been greatly enlarged by filling up 
the shallow waters on its northern side, and 
now contains broad avenues with magnificent 
private residences, stores, churches, etc. Bos- 
ton is connected with South Boston and with 
Chart estown (N. of Charles R.) by several 
bridges, and lines of steamboats ply to East 
Boston and other points within and outside 
the harbor. 

The railroads centering at Boston pass 
through nearly every village within 20 nils, 
from the city, and furnish a most complete 
system of connections with every part of the 
Union. The Boston & Albany R. R, 202 mis. 
long, extends to Albany, N. Y., and there joins

The principal public buildings are the fol- 
lowing : the State House, on the summit of 
Beacon Hill and fronting the Common; erected 
in ITDS. The view from the cupola surmount- 
ing the building, and "230 ft. above tide- water, 
is very fine, and embraces all parts of the city 
and the bay with its numerous islands. 
raneuU Hall, the "Cradle of Liberty," is the 
famous historical building in which the 
Fathers of the Revolution addressed the citi- 
zens on the political questions of the times, 
and often since have its walls resounded 
with eloquent harangues. It was given to the 
city by Peter Faneuil, in 1740 ; destroyed by 
fire in 1761, and rebuilt in 1703. The Custom 
House is conveniently located at the foot of 
State street, near the head of Long Wharf. 
The Merchant's Exchange, a massive fire- 
proof building, covers an area of 13,000 sqr ft. 
The Court House is a fine building, in Court 
Square, and the City Hall, near this square, 
fronts on School street. A colossal bronze 
statue of Benjamin Franklin was erected in 
1856 in front of the City Hall. 

The city has 130 churches, many of which 
are buildings of much architectural beauty, 
while others are conspicuous for their a"e and 
historical associations. Christ Church, on 
Salem street, was erected in 1722; King's 
Chapel in 1686; Trinity Church in 1734; Old 
South Church in 1730, and Brattle Street 
Church in 1773. Treuiout Temple, in St. Paul 
street, has 3,000 sittings. Park Street Church 
is noted for its graceful spire ; Central Churcli 
is considered to be the most sumptuous 
building of its kind in New England, and the 
Church of the Immaculate Conception (Ro- 
man Catholic) is a grand and imposing struct- 
ure. The immense Catholic Cathedral, now 
in course of construction, promises to be one 
of the finest church buildings in the country. 

The Boston Common, a beautiful park of 
nearly 50 acres, is between the old part of the 
city and the " Neck," slopes down from Bea- 
con* street, and is an attractive resort. To 
the W. of it extends the Public Garden, 24 
acres, which is ornamented with ponds, 
flower-beds, and several statues of artistic 
merit. Concord, Chester, Blackstone and 
Franklin squares are smaller public parks. 

Boston has always been famous for the 
number and excellence of its literary, scien- 
tific or artistic institutions, and its public or 
private schools. The Athenajum, on Beacon 
street, was incorporated in 1807 ; has a library 
of nearly 100,000 volumes, a fine gallery of 
paintings ana a sculpture gallery. The Pub- 
lic Library, founded in 1S52, facing the Com- 
mon, possesses 130,000 volumes ; and the Mer- 
cantile Library, at the corner of Summer and 
Hawley streets,20,000 volumes. The Massachu- 
setts Historical Society, on Trcmont street, 
has valuable collections of books, maps, coins, 
etc. Another interesting library is that of 
the New England Historical and CJonealogical 
Society. Tlie American Society of Arts and 
Sciences occupies an apartnieilt i)i1heAthe- 
•naeum building. Tlie Lowell lust itute, found- 
ed by John Lowell, Jr., provides for regular 
courses of lectures on religious and scientific 
topics, which are free to all. Among the other 
active societies may be mentioned the Handel 
and Hayden Society (musical); the American 
Statistical Society, the Institute of Technolo- 

fy and the Natural History Society. The 
chool of Technology is arranged on the 



plan of the Conservatoire des Arts and Metiers 
and the £cole Centrale of Paris. It is not yet 
complete, but will embrace three distinct de- 
partments, known as the Society of Arts, the 
School of Science and Art and the Museum 
of Industrial Art and Science. The Studio 
Building, at the corner of Tremont and Broom- 
field streets, is occupied by many i^romtnent 
artists of Boston.

♦^Brooklyn, city and Co. seat of Kings's co., N. 
Y.; is situated at the western extremity of 
Long Island, on the East River, opposite New 
York, and on New York B. It has a water 
frontage of more than 10 mis., extending from 
Newton Cr. to the limits of Greenwood Ceme- 
tery ; and formerly consisted of several towns, 
as Brooklyn proper, Williamsbui'gli, Bu.sh- 
wick, etc., which were incorpoi-ated under 
one mnnicipal government in ISo.i. Brooklyn 
is connected with New York l)y several lines 
of st<iani ferries, the principal of which are 
the Fulton, Wall Street, South, Catherine, 
Jackson and Hamilton Avenue ferries. It is 
the terminus of the several railroads which 
inter-sect Long Island, as the Brooklyn, Bath 
& Coney Island R. R.; the Flushing & North 
Side R.'R. and the South Side R. R. 

The city was settled in 1625, and being the 
scene ot" several important events of the 
Revolution and the War of Independence, 
possesses great historical interest. As it is in 
reality but a portion of New York, its growth 
has fully kept pace with that of the great 
metropolis. In 1850 it had 96,838 inhabitants ; 
in 1860, 266,661 ; and in 1870 8t)6,099. Of these, 
251,381 were natives of the United States, and 
144,718 natives of foreign countries, including 
3(i,769 Germans ; 73,985 Irishmen ; 18,832 Eng- 
lishmen; 4,098 Scotchmen, and 1,892 French- 
men. The population numbers 80,066 families, 
of 4.95 persons each ; and occupies 45,834 dwel- 
lings, of 8.64 persons each. 

The number of persons enga.ged in horticul- 
ture and farming was 565 ; in personal and 
professional services, 42,920 ; in trade and 
transportation, 38,166, and in manufactures 
and mechanical industries, 57,544. These sums 
include 367 clergymen ; 216 journalists ; 729 
lawyers ; 584 physicians and surgeons ; 1,449 
teachers ; 16,208 domestic servants ; 1,499 em- 
ployes of civil government ; 11,690 traders 
and dealers ; 13,458 clerks and salesmen ; 2,599

Brooklyn is one of the handsomest cities in 
the world. Many of the wealth.y merchants, 
doin^ bu.3iness in New York, have here their 
stately mansions. The city is elevated and 
somewhat uneven. The "Heights," extend- 
ing on both sides of the landing of Wall Street 
Ferry, are 70 feet high, and afford extensive

and magnificent views over the bay, with its 
ships and boats ; over the great sister city, 
■with its spires and domes ; or over tlie more 
distant country, with its fields and forests. 
Many of the streets of Brooklyn are lined 
with beautiful shade trees, arid, with the 
exception of Fulton street, are straight and 
intersect each other at right angles. The 
numerous church edifices, many of which are 
unsurpassed for architectural "beauty, have 
given rise to the appellation of the '"'City of 
Churches," by wliich Brooklyn is known 
throughout the land. For an enumeration of 
the principal ones, the reader is referred to 
Appleton's Handbook of American Travel ; 
and other guide boolts. 

Among the prominentpublic buildings may 
be mentioned the following: The City Hall, 
at the junction of Court and Fulton streets, 
and near it the County Court House ; Kings 
County Jail, in Raymond street ; the Post- 
oflice, in Washington street : the new Mercan- 
tile Library, in Montague street, containing 
also the rooms of the Long Island Historical 
Society ; the Academy of Music, opposite the 
Mercantile Library ; the Packer Collegiate 
Institute (for young ladies), on Joralemon 
street ; and the Polytechnic Institute, on 
Livingston street. 

The U. S. Navy Yard is situated on the 
point of land between East River and Walla- 
bout B., in the north-eastern part of Brooklyn 
proper; and is nearly 40 acres in extent. It 
includes a large dry-dock and the U. S. Kaval 
Lyceum, a literary institution. The U. S. 
Marine Hospital, opposite the Navy Yard, on 
the Wallabout, is surrounded by extensive 
grounds, and has room for 500 patients. About 
a mile below the South Ferry is the Atlantic 
Dock, a basin containing ii]^ acres, with suffi- 
ciently deep water for ships of the largest 
description. 

The most noted park of Brooklyn is Pros- 
pect Park, the entrance to which is at the 
junction of Park, Flatbush and Vanderbilt 
avenues. It measures (500 acres, and with its 
beautiful distant views, its groves of trees 
and shrubbery, equals, if it does not surpass, 
the Central Park in New York. Washington 
Park (Fort Greene) is on a plateau, to the N. 
E. of City Hall, between Myrtle and DeKalb 
avenues ; and Greenwood Cemetery, which 
includes '242 acres of ground, most beautifully 
laid out and ornamented, is in the southern 
part of the city, at Gowanus. 

The public schools of Brooklyn are excel- 
lent and in a most prosperovis condition. In 1871 
there were 52 Prnnary schools, with 481 teach- 
ers and 28, '205 pupils ; and 88 Grammar schools, 
with 395 teachers and 12,774 pupils, and 21 even- 
ing schools, M'ith 177 teachers and 2,071 pupils. 
The school population (from 5 to 21 years of 
age) numbcreil 135,8(59 ; only 66,396 of whom 
were in the puljlic schools, while the average 
attendance was but 35,938. The receipts for 
school purposes amounted to $1,158,524, and 
the expenditures to $658,228, making the cost 
per pupil upon average attendance $18.31. The 
foremost college of the city is the Collegiate 
and Polytechnic Institution, which had 22 in- 
structors and 562 students. St. John Baptist 
College is Roman Catholic. Packer Collegiate 
Institute had 34 instructors and 792 students. 
Long Island College Hospital, a medical 
school, had 11 instructors and 101 students.

CAliIFORNI A, next to Tex. the largest state 
of tlie Union, is bounded by Oreg. on the N., 
Nev. and Ariz, on the E., Mexico on the S., and 
the Pacific Ocean on the W. It extends from 
32° 31' to 42° N. lat., and from 114° 8' to 124° 24' 
W. long. The extreme length from the Colo- 
rado R. in the S. E., to the Pacific coast in the N. 
W., is over 300 m Is. ; the average width from E. to 
W. is about 175 statute mis. The area has been 
computed at 188,981 sq. nds., or 120,047,340 acres ; 
40,000,000 of which are arable, 3.5,000,000 suitable 
for grazing, and 10,000,000 unfit for cultivation. 
The lands subject to overflow, known as the 
" Tule lands," comprise 5,000,000 acres, and the 
inountaius cover an area of nearly 26,000,000 
acres. 

/Sxr/ftce.— California is naturally divided into 
four distinct regions : 1. The Coast Ranges ; 2. 
The Sierra Nevada ; 3. The Central Valley, and 
4. The South-western Region. The coast-line, 
extending over 10° of lat. , has a regular north- 
western trend between the parallels of 35° and 



40° N. lat., and the three first-named divisions 
present the same general direction. The co.ast 
ranges occupy a belt of about 40 mis. in width, 
extending through the entire length of the state 
from 8. to N., and contiguous to the sliores of 
the Pacific Ocean. Thev consist of numerous 
ranges and riilges of about 3,0(X) feet average 
elevation above the sea level, inclosing fertile 
and often highly picturesque valleys between 
them. The Bs. of San Francisco and San Pablo, 
together with the low ground which extends 
on both sides Of the mouth of the Sacramento 
R., break tlie continuity of the coast ranges, 
and divide them into a northern and southern 
group. '• The scenery of these ranges," accord- 
ing to J. D. Whitney, ^" is rarely more than 
picturesque, but always* peculiar." "It is not 
so much the snnunits and ridges as the valleys 
nestling between them, which give character "to 
the lamlscape. Besides we must .allow its share 
in producing the general impression to the 
peculiar erosion of the mountain masses, made 
conspicuous by the absence of forests, and 
esi)ccially to the peculiar atmosphere, which 
invests them with a peculiar charm." (See Coast 
Ranges.) The second mountain belt is occupied 
by the great " Snowy Range," or the Sierra 
Nevada, which trends from the S. E. to tlie N. 
W. for a distance of over .550 mis., and has an 
average width from E. to W. of 80 mis. It 
forms the western edge of the great continental 
upheaval, or plateau, designated by the general 
name of the Cordilleras ; and corresponds in 
position to the Rocky Mts., the one being the 
western the other the eastern edge of the mass. 
No range among the Cordilleras surpasses, if 
any one equals, the Sierra Nevada in extent or 
altitude, and certainly no one can be compared 
with it in the general features of interest 
wliieli characterize it — scenery, vegetation and 
mineral wealth. The Sierra inosculates with 
the coast ranges at its two extrcmiti(;s, the 
Tejon Pass in the S. (in about 35° N. lat.) and 
Mt. Shasta in the N. In these localities the two 
mountain systems are so linked that there is 
no longerany geographical, but only a geologi- 
cal, distinction to be made between "them. The 
average height of the Sierra is three times as 
great as that of the coast ranges. Its culminat- 
ing section is in the neighborhood of 36U° N. 
lat., and from here the height of the peaks, as 
well as of the passes, sinks as we go northward 
or southward. At Lassen's Pk., in about 40^.1^° 
N. lat., the Sierra expands into .a grand vol- 
eanic ])lateau, extending from Mt. Shasta in 
tlie W. to Warner's Range in the E. (near the 
north-eastei'ii extremity of the state), and form- 
ing a labyrinth of ridges and valleys, tlefying 
all attempts at classification. Between the 
Sierra Nevada and the coast ranges there lies 
an extensive low plain, the third of the physical 
regions above enumerated, and known as the 
Central Valley, or as the Valley of the Sacra- 
mento and Sail Joaquin Rs. The traveler pas- 
sing up either of these streams observes at a 
distance of 20 or 30 mis. on either hand a con- 
tinuous wall of mountains, which a\)poar in 
the dim distance as simple narrow uplifts, but 
Avhicli are in reality but the edges of the broad 
mountain belts above described. This valley 
is level, and on the whole but slightly elevated 
above tide-water, inclutling large tracts of 
" Tule," or overfiowed lands. It is nearly 400 
mis. long, and includes an area of about 13,000 
sq. mis. 

The three physical regions above described 
are arranged in belts, strictly parallel to and 
conforming with thesea coast. The fourtli and 
last region has its own distinct peculiarities, 
and embraces the south-eastern part of the 
state. From the coast ranges, where they in- 
osculate with the Sierra Nevada at the 'fejon 
Pass branch otf mountain ranges: as the San 
Bernardino Mt., San Jacinto Mt., Santa Anna 
Mts., and many others. They include seques-

tered valleys, which, with their fertile soil, 
beautiful scenery and semi-tropical climate, 
form one of tlie most attractive features of 
Calitornia. But to the N. E. of this beautifully 
dlversifled district, there extends the little 
known desert of the interior, whicli, geographi- 
cally speaking, forms part of the great Interior 
Basin. Arid and hot, sandy and sterile, with 
numerous rockv, bleak and barren mountain 
chains, and a few insignificant water-courses, it 
has no attractions either for the tourist or the 
settler. A part of it is known as the Mohave 
Biver Desert. 

Bays and Harbors.— The largest, and in every 
way the finest, B. on the coast of the state, is 
that of San Francisco. The entrance from the 
Ocean is the Golden Gate, a strait of one mile 
in widtli and hemmed in by the picturesque 
terminations of the Coast Ranges on the N. and 
on the S. The bay is nearly 50 mis. long and 9 
mis. wide, and is sheltered "from tlie violence of 
the winds on all sides by the surrounding hills. 
Toward the N. it expands into anotlier large 
sheet of water, San Pablo B., from the east- 
ern extremitv of which Carquines Strait leads 
into Suisun B. The latter receives the waters 
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rs. San 
Diego Harljor is on the southern extremits' 
of the coast, about 45(5 mis. S. of San Francisco. 
It is well sheltered by surrounding hills, but 
lacks the advantages for inland commerce 
which San Francisco possesses. San Pedro B., 
in Los Angeles co.. Is 373 mis. S. of San Francisco, 
San Louis Obispo B. nearly 100 mis., Monterey 
B. 92 mis., Santa Cruz Harbor, SG mis., and Half 
Moon B., 46 mis. Drakes B. is 36 mis. N. of the 
Golden Gate, Tomales B., 4.5 mis.. Bodega B., 50 
mis., and Humboldt B^ 223 mis. 

Rivers and Lakes. — California has l)ut two 
large rivers, the Sacramento and San Joaquin, 
which traverse the great central valley in op- 
posite directions and pour their united waters 
into Suisun B. Tlie main, though shorter, 
fork ot the Sacramento, rises near Mt. Shasta, 
while the East Fork, also called Pitt R , rises 
in Warners Range and flows through the lofty 
plateau whicli extends between this range anil 
the Sierra Nevada. The San Joaquin rises near 
Tulare Lake and flows north. Both streams 
receive iiunicrons tributaries from the Sierra 
Nevada, but comparativelj- few from tbe Coast 
Ranges. (See Sacramento R. and San Joaquin 
R.) The Colorado washes the S. E. boundary of 
the state, and being navigable to Callville, 
Nev., for small boats, is of considerable com- 
mercial importance. 

The many small er streams of California which 
empty into the Pacific Ocean rise among the 
Coast Ranges, and drain tlieir valleys and slopes. 
Enumerated from N. to S. they are the follow- 
ing: Klamath R., the outlet of the Klamath 
Lakes in Oreg.; Mud R., Eel R., formed by the 
junction of tlie Main and South Forks, and emp- 
tying N. of Cape Mendocino ; Russian R., Cayote 
Cr., entering the southern extremity of San 
Francisco Bl; the Rio San Benito and tlie Rio 
Salinas or de Monterey, lioth entering tbe B. of 
Monterey ; Gayamas R., Santa Inez Cr., Santa 
Clara R.', San "Gabriel R., Santa Anna R., Mar- 
garita R., San Luis Rey R., San Bernardo R., San 
Diego R., and lastly the Rio Tia Juana, which 
flows near the southern boundary of the state. 

Climate. — A country extending so far N. and 
S., and comprising sucli contrast of elevations 
and surface structure as California, naturally 
presents in its ditferent parts greatly varying 
climatic conditions. The mean annual temper- 
ature in the extreme N. of the state is probably 
below 50 degr. fahr.; in the S. E., where the Colo- 
rado Desert extends into the state, it exceeds 
TO degr. Observations made during the year 
1858 in central California gave the follow- 
ing results : In San Francisco, mean annual 
lemperature, 56° 23'; highest temperature, 91°; 
lowest 3(-;* : in Sacramento, mean annual tem- 



perature, 59^ 58'; highest temperature, 97° 
lowest 29° ; in Marysville, mean annual tem- 
perature, QP 32', highest temperature, 103°, low- 
est, 29°. It will be' noticed that the range be- 
tween the extremes increases with the distance 
from the coast. In San Francisco it is 55° ; in 
Sacramento 68°, and in Marysville 74°. The 
coast ranges and their valleys have a decided- 
ly oceanic climate : moist, equable and free 
from sudden change?. In San Francisco rain 
begins to fall freely in JTovember or December, 
but gradually dimiiiislies in January ; Feljruary 
is spring-like, with but little rain ; ^March and 
April are pleasant and showery. In May the 
sea breeze begins and continues through the 
next three mouths. In September and October it 
moderates, and the air is mostly dry. Septem- 
ber is the hottest month in the year, and then 
follow October, August and July. Tlic interior 
of the state has a continental climate, the influ- 
ence of the sea scarcely reaching beyond the 
most eastern of the coast ranges. As we recede 
froA the ocean the days are warmer and the 
nights colder. Tlie great central valley has very 
dry summers, and liardlj- any luin falls" from May 
to November (lience the absence of forests) ; 
while the winters are moist. In the Sierra Neva- 
da the temperature decreases and the rainfall in- 
creases steadily with thealtitude. The line of per- 
petual snow is" about 9,000 feet above the ocean. 
The south-eastern corner of the state, which 
includes a part of the Colorado Desert, has a 
climate of its own. The lieat is intense, and in 
July the thermometer often rises above 100°. 
The average annual fall of rain through the 
state increases from S. to. N., and in the Sierra 
Nevada witli the altitude. In Fort Yuma it is 
but 4 inches ; in San Diego 10 ; in San Francisco 
22 ; at Humboldt B. 34 ; and in the Sierra, above 
5,000 feet, 44 inches and more. 

F^sre^o/wn.— Of the \,bOO species of plants com- 
posing the flora of Cal., about 225 are found 
only in this state or in Oreg., while the others, 
which arc represented elsewhere, are marked 
with strong individual peculiarities. The 
number of species of trees is small compared 
with those of the eastern portions of the conti- 
nent, nor is the extent and compactness of for- 
ests nearly so great as there. Tliegreat interior 
valley consists mainly of prairies, only the wa- 
ter-courses l)eing fringed with narrow belts of 
Cottonwood and other deciduous trees. The 
coast ranges produce forests not remarkable 
for variety or extent. Tlie valleys are park- 
like, as the trees gi-ow in graceful clumps. Var- 
ious kinds of oak and conifers predominate 
everywhere. The shrubby undergrowth con- 
sists of the'' chamiro," the" "manzanita," called 
by the settler the " California lilac," ;ind var- 
ious slirubby oaks, each furnished witli as many 
thorns as there are points to leaves and branches, 
making what is known as the " chaparal," im- 
penetrable tliickets, rendering iiart of tlie state 
quite inaccessible. The gloiy of the coast 
ranges is the Redwood (Sequoia semperviv- 
ens), a coniferous tree of great size and beauty 
of form. It frequently attains a height of 275 
feet, and a circumference at the base of 50 feet. 
In the Sierra Nevada there are extensive forests, 
consisting mainly of pines, firs and other co- 
niferous trees. The most remarkable species 
among these is the " Big Tree " (Sequoia gigan- 
tea), whicli is found exclusively scattered over 
limited areas in the Sierra, over 4,000 feet above 
the sea level, and as far as known lietween 36° 
and 38° 15' lat. There are eight distinct patches 
or groves of the big trees. Theone in Calaveras 
CO., on the road which crosses the Sierra at the 
Silver Pass, was flrst discovered, and is the 
most accessible. It contains from 90 to 100 
trees, varving in height from 2.53 to 325 feet, and 
in.circum'ference, 10 feet above the ground, from 
31 to 45 feet. Another grove occurs near the 
border of Calaveras and Tuolumne cos., and 
about 25 mis. S. E. of this there is a tliii'd. The

Mariposa Grove is situated about 16 mis. S. o^ 
the Lower Hotel in the Yosemite Valley. 

Animals.— At the head of the Californian 
matamalia stands the grizzly bear. Formei-ly 
quite abundant in nearly all parts of the state, 
it now lives only in the more thinly inhabited 
sections. The black bear is limited to the cos. 
N. of San Francisco B. The raccoon does not 
materially tlitfer from that of the Atlantic 
states, and lives in the woodless districts, while 
the badger is confined to the forests. The other 
carnivora are : the skunk, the glutton, or wol- 
verine, a few of which are occasionally killed on 
the heights of the northern Sierra; the marten, 
mink, weasel, otter, cougar or panther, the 
beautifully spotted jaguar, the gray wolf, sev- 
eral kind of foxes, and the opossum. The in- 
sect-eaters are represented by the western mole 
and the star-nosed mole ; and the rodents or 
gnawers by the beaver, the woodchuck, several 
species of sqiiirrels, mice and m.uskrats. To 
the ruminants or cud-chewers belong the elk, 
the white-tailed deer and the black-tailed deer, 
the antelope and the mountain sheep or "Big- 
horn'" (Ovis moutana). Nearly all the orders 
of birds common to the temperate zone are 
well repi'es(>nted in California. The principal 
are several kinds of wood-peckers, the white- 
headed eagle, the golden eagle, tlie fish hawk, 
marsh hawk and white-tailed hawk, numerous 
species of owls, hiimmiug birds, etc. There are 
eighty-five species of reptiles in Cal., as tor- 
toise, the western terrapin, lizards (more num- 
erous than in any other state), rattlesnakes, 
various harmless serpents and frogs. Fishes 
abound in the rivers and lakes and near the sea 
coastj and in variety excel those of any other 
division of equal extent. Tlie salmon are 
plentiful in spring, and trout of large size and 
excellent quality inhabit the mountain lakes. 
Perches of several feet in length are frequently 
caught. The white fish inhabits the southern 
waters of the state. The " Big Basse" caught 
near San Francisco is considered the best sea-fish 
sold iothat market. The Cal. mackerel is simi- 
lar to the Atlantic species but smaller, and is 
mostly eaten fresh. Eatable moUusks, as clams, 
oysters and muscles, are extensively sold for 
food, and crabs, lobsters and shrimps are both 
abundant and large. 

J'opiikUion.—CaMtomia, had, in 1870, 582,031 in- 
habitants, 49'.),424 of v/hom were white, 4,27-2 col- 
oreil, 40,310 Chinese, and 20,025 Indians. Of the 
latter there were 21,784 sustaining tribal rela- 
tions, and 7,241 out of tribal relations. The na- 
tivities were as follows : Born in the United 
States, 3.50,416, including 162,093 native Califor- 
nians ; born in foreign countries, 209,s.30, includ- 
ing 10,602 British Americans, 17,685 Englishmen, 
54,421 Irishmen, 4,949 Scotchmen, 29,699 Germans, 
4,660 Italians and 8,978 Mexicans. The growth 
of Cal. has been verj' rapid. The first census, 
which was taken in 1850, shortly after the gold 
disooveries, reports 92,597 inhabitants; that of 
1860, 379,994 inhabitants. 

OccupcUions. — The number of persons above 
10 years of age in 1870 was 430,444, and of these 
238,618 were engaged in the ditferent classes of 
gainful occupation, viz.: In agriculture, 47,863 ; 
in professional and personal services, 76,112; in 
trade and transportation, 33,165 ; and in manu- 
factures, mechanical and mining industries, 
81,508. The two branches most numerous were : 
Farm laborers, 37,58(), antl miners, 36,339 ; the 
farmers numbered 24,061 ; domestic servants, 1.5,- 
472; clergymen, 569 : lawyers, 1,115; journalists, 
209 : and phvsicians and surgeons, 1,257. 

Mining. — The first gold iliscovery was made 
in 1848 by I. W. Jlarshall, while digging a race 
for a saw mill of Captain Sutter. As soon as 
the news of it became known thousands of ail- 
venturers from the eastern states, from Eu- 
ropcj and even from distant China, flocked to 
the land of promise, and ever since Cal. has 
helel the first place among the gold-producing 



countries of the world. Gold is obtained by be- 
ing washed out of the soil, or by crushing the 
quartz rock containing the metallic veins, in 
mills. The washing process on a small scale is 
called "placer mining," and is not now much fol- 
lowed in the state. Hydraulic mining is placer 
mining on a large scale, and is still a highly re- 
munerative pursuit. It requires much outlay 
of capital. Large quantities of water are car- 
ried down fi'om the mountains in flumes or 
ditches, and immense hills, hundreds of feet 
high, are washed away until the gold-bearing 
gravel is reached. The metal is saved in long 
sluice-boxes, through which the earth and wa- 
ter are run, in the bottom of which gold Is 
caught by quicksilver, then the mass of earth 
and gravel is run ofi' into soma deep valley or 
river, and it is this operation which often ren- 
ders h5'draulic mining so exti-eraely costly. 

Quartz mining is now the chief process of 
obtaining gold in Cal., and will remain so 
for years, as the veins are rich and abundant. 
The productive gold mines are located princi- 
pally on the western slopes and spurs of the 
Sierra Nevada, and in the following cos.: Inyo. 
Mariposa, Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador, El 
Dorado, Placer, Nevada, Sierra, Yuba, Butte, 
Plumas, Alpine, Shasta and Del Norte. 

The amount of gold taken from the mines can 
never be known accurately, as no records are 
kept. But the fact is certain that the yield an- 
nually increased from 1849, culminated in 1853, 
and has since then gradually fallen otf. The 
amount of treasure manifested for exportation 
from San Francisco was, in 1849, $4,921,2,50 ; in 
1851, $42,582,695; in 1853, i5s57,330,034 ; in 1855, *45,- 
1&'2,031 ; in 1857, $48,976,697 ; in 1859, $47,649.462 ; in 
1861, $10,639,080: in 1863, $46,071,920, and in 1865, 
$44,9S4,546. R. W. Raymond, U. S. Commissioner 
of jVIining Statistics, estimates the total yield 
of bullion for 1869 at $20,000,000. 

Silver mining is almost the sole pursuit for 
the inhabitants of the three cos. of Calave- 
ras, El Dorado and Shasta. It occurs mostly in 
argentiferous galena. Very rich deposits of 
quicksilver ore (cinnaba.") occur in many parts 
of the state, but the only mines yielding profit- 
able returns are the New Almaden, the New 
Idria, the Redington, the Guadalupe, and the 
San Juan Bautista. The first of these was the 
earliest opened, and is by far the most produc- 
tive. It yielded from July, 18.50, to December, 
1867, 461,887 flasks, or 35,333,586 lbs. of pure metal. 
Productive coal mines are worked near Mt. San 
Diablo, E. of San Francisco B., and among the 
other mineral treasures of the state are copper, 
iron, borax, salt anil sulphur. 

Agriculture. — In Cal. the rains begin late in 
October. Grass is green all winter ; plowing 
begins on the first of Deceml^er, and sowing is 
continued as late as March. Thus the farmer 
has three or four months to put in his crops. 
Corn is ))lanted from March to May, and har- 
vested as late as December. After the niidiUe 
of April the rains cease, and the whole harvest 
season is absolutely without rain. The great 
valleys of the San Joaquin and the Sacramento 
embrace the far greater part of the farming 
lands of Cal.; but many of the valleys of the 
coast ranges, and tliose S. of the San liernar- 
dino ]Mts., are equally productive. AVith so 
large a hotly of most fertile lands and so favor- 
able a climate, ]n'ovi(kHl the farmer ailaptshim- 
self to the peculuirity of the seasons, agricul- 
ture is already the principal occupation of Cal. 
In 1870 the improved land amounted to 6,218,- 
133 acres, or between one-sixth and one-seventh 
of the arable surface of the state. The cash 
value of farms was $141,240,028; or .$22.70 per 
improved acre. Farmers paid wages to iha 
amount of $10,369,247, and the farm productions, 
including additions to stock, wewj wortli $t'.),- 
8,56,024. The wheat crop amounted to 16,»)76,702 
bush., which were mostly grown in t.ie valley 
of San Joaquin. Fields of 2,000 or 4.000 acrea

make out small farms there, and ten times 
larger ones are not at all rare. In 18T2 the wheat 
crop was estimated at 180,000 tons, and tlie sur- 
plus of the whole state was believed to require 
for transportation 700 ships of 1,000 tons each. 
Tlie other crops were (according to the census) 
1,221,22-2 hush, of corn ; 1,757,507 hush of oats ; 
8,783,490 bush, of barley ; 11,391,743 lbs. of wool: 
2,049,227 bush, of Irish pot's; 202,035 bush, of 
sweet pot's ; 7,969,744 lbs. of butter ; 551,773 tone 
of hay, and 1,814,056 gallons of wine. The grape 
vine thrives excellentiv in Cal., and even those 
varieties which in the East can only be raised 
in glass houses are grown there in the open air. 
Extensive vineyards are near Sonoma, V'isalia, 
in the Napa Valley, and near Anaheim in Los 
Angeles co. Semi-tropical fruits are extensively 
raised in southern Cal., and inchide tlie orange, 
olive, lemon, lime, etc. Immense orchards ot 
apples pears, peaches, and other northern 
fruits have been planted in the central portions 
of the state, and their products are largely ex- 
ported to the eastern states. In 1870 the value 
of orchard products was $1,3.S4,480. The total 
value of all live stock was $37,904,752 ; and the 
number of horses was 192,273 ; of mules and ass- 
es, 17,533; of milch cows, 164,093; of working 
oxen, 5,944; of other cattle, 461,361; of sheep, 
2,768,187, and of swine, 444.617. 

Manufactures.— 1x1 1870 there were 3,984 manu- 
facturing establisments in Cal., employing 604 
steam-engines -with 18,493 horse-power, and 25,- 
392 hands. The capital invested in this branch 
of industry was $39,728,202 ; the wages paid were 
$13,136,722 ; the materials used had a value of 
$35,351,193, and the total value of products 
amounted to $66, .594,556. The most important 
branches and the value of their products wei-e : 
Blacksmithing, $1,161,790; boots and shoes, $2,- 
214,807 ; bakery products, $1,18.5,820 ; carpen- 
tering and bnikling, $1., 391, 163 ; carriages and 
wagons, $1,309,443 ; men's clothing, $1,090,270 ; 
flouring and grist-mill products, $9,036,386 ; lum-

West Branch of the Susquehanna and its 

tributary, Mushannon Cr., form the N. W. 



boundary. The co. is traversed by several 
parallel ranges of the Appalachian System 
from S. W. to N. E ; and thus comprises a 
number of natural divisions. The N. W. 
part, between the streams above named and 
the Alleghany Mts., is a broken and elevated 
table-l.and. IJetween the AUcghanj' and Bald 
Eagle Mts. is a long^ and "narrow valley, 
which is traversed by Bald Eagle Cr.. a tribu- 
tary of the Susquehanna. S.E. of the Bald 
Eagle Mts. extends the wide Nittauy Valley, 
which is in part separated from the Penn's 
Valley and Brush Valley, the next division, 
by the Nittany Mts. Penn's Valley is bounded 
by the long range of Tusseys Mt., and the 
crest of Path Valley Mts. forms the S. E. 
boundary of the co. Bald Eagle Cr. receives 
Beacli Cr. from the N. W. and Spring Cr. from 
the S. Penn's Cr., a tributary of the Susque- 
hanna, traverses the valley which bears the 
same name from W. S. W. to E. N. E. The 
soil of the valleys is very productive ; the 
mountains are covered with forests. The co. 
abounds in rich iron ore. The Lock Haven & 
Tyrone R. R. follows the Bald Eagle Creek.

The gi-ound on which Charleston stands la 
low and level, so that the city, as we sail up 
from the B., seems to rest upon the waters, 
and has been called (somewhat inappropri- 
ately) the American Venice. There are no 
splendid avenues, no imposing public build- 
ings, and yet the city makes a favorable im- 
pression upon the traveler. Many fine private 
residences are surrounded by open grounds, 
or gardens, and embowered in sombre mag- 
nolias. The character of the streets is that of 
retiring respectability. 

Charleston is a port of entry and one oi 
tlie first commercial cities of tlie south. Thu 
spacious harbor admits vessels drawing 17 
feet, and the railroad connections with the 
interior are ample. The lines tern Jnating 
here are: The South Carolina R. R., '.he Sa- 
vannah & Charleston R. R., and the North- 
eastern R. R. Cotton and rice are tiie pi incipal 
articles of export. In the year eudcii June 
30, 1871, Charleston exported domestic ^oods 
to the value of $12,3S7,.524, and imporUid for- 
eign goods to the value of $i21,o5i). yiie en- 
tries from foreign countries were 51 Ameri- 
can vessels, with 12,039 tons ; 106 foieign ves- 
sels, with 36,065 tons — making a total of 157 
vessels, with 48,104 tons. The clearances for 
foreign countries were 64 American vessels, 
with 25,813 tons ; 120 foreign vessels, with 48,- 
726 tons— making a total of 184 vessels, with 
74,539 tons. 

The last cen.ous report contains the follow- 
ing statistics of occupations: in agriculture 
were engaged 331 persons ; in professional and 
personal services, 9,949 ; in trade and trans- 
portation, 3,496, and in manufacturing -and 
mechanical trades, 4,929. 

Charleston (including the co.) had, in 1871, 
8 schools in operation. The total school popu- 
lation between 6 and 16 years of age was 10,- 
247 ; but only one-third of these, 3,423, were in 
the public schools, and the average number 
attending school was 1,93S. The wholeamount 
expended for teachers' salaries was $10,886. 
The number of newspapers published was 14, 
of which the "Monthly Rural Carolinian" had 
the largest circulation (11,350). The most im- 
portant daily papers are : " The Courier," 
"The News" and "The Republican." 

The entrance to Charleston 15. is between 
Sullivan's Island and Morris Island, ancf is 
defended against a naval attack by 1^'ort 
Moultrie, Fort Sumter, Castle Pinkney and 
Fort Ripley. The siege and capture of Fort 
Sumter in April, 1861, was the first hostile act 
against the Federal Government, and initiat- 
ed the late civil war.

•Chicago, city, port of entry and the co. seat 
of Coolv CO., ill.; is the metropolis of the state 
and of the north-western part of the Union. 
It lies on the S. W. coast of Lake Michigan, in 
42° N. lat., and 87° 37' W. long. The first white 
man who visited the spot where the city now 
stands was Father Marquette, the devoted 
French missionary. In 1795 the United States 
government obtained from the Indians G acres 
of grouuil for the erection of a stockaile fort, 
which was to atford protection to the fur 
traders. In 181'2 the fort was burnt down by 
the Indians, and the garrison massacred, 
though safe conduct had been promised. Sub- 



sequently another fort was erected on the 
same spot, whicli was known as Fort Dear- 
born. During the Black Hawk war (in 1S52) 
General Scott came with troops and some 
traders, and settlers followed him. The first 
white child was born in 1S32. In 1837 Chicago 
"was incorporated as a city with 4,170 inhabi- 
tants. Since then the growth has been most 
rapid, and far exceeded that of any other city 
in the country. In 1850 the population was 
29,963 ; in 18G0, 112,172, and in 1870, 293,977, of 
whom 295,281 were white, and 3,f>91 colored. 
With regard to nativity the ninth census re- 
port gives the following statistics. The na- 
tives of the United States numbered 154,420 
and ot foreign countries, 144,357. The last sura 
includes 52,316 Germans, 39,988 Irishmen, 10,- 
02<j Englishmen, 4,195 Scotchmen, 1,418 French- 
men, and 8,936 Canadians. 

The site of the city is a low, slightly in- 
clined plane. During the years 1856 to 1853 
the entire business portion was raised from 
3 to 8 feet above its former level, in order to 
secure better drainage. The Chicago B. is 
formed by two branches (the one flowing 
from N. to S. and the otlier from S. to N., 
which unite within the city), and empties in- 
to Lake Michigan after a course of but half a 
mile. As the river has scarcely any fall, and 
receives all the sewers from the city, its wa- 
ters became so impure and offensive that the 
health of the people living near it was seri- 
ously imperilled. To remedy this evil the 
Illinois & Micliigan Canal, which connects the 
southern branch of the river with the Illinois 
B., is now being deepened and widened, so 
as to secure an outlet for the river into the 
canal, and even to cause a constant flow of 
pure lake water in the same direction. Chi- 
cago is supplieil with drinking water from the 
lake by means of the Lake Michigan Tunnel, 
Avhich was commenced in March, 1804, and 
completed in December, 1866. The depth of 
the shore-shaft is 69 feet, and of the lake-shaft 
64 feet. The lake terminus of the tunnel, 
known as the " Crib," is composed of timber. 
and upon its top a permanent light-house and

The tunnel, two miles in length, is circulai; 
being 5 ft. 2 in. high and 5 ft. wide. It is in- 
closed in brick masonry 8 inches thick, and 
conducts the clear water from the lake-shaft 
to the ahore-sliaft, whence it is lifted by steam 
pumps into the reservoir. The whole" is one 
of the most colossal engineering works of 
this or any other country. Highly interest- 
ing objects ai'e the artesian wells, which were 
bored 31^ mis. W. of the Court House, and are 
respectively 911 and 694 feet deep, yielding 
a daily flow of water of 1,200,000 gallons. 

The streets of Chicago are generally SO feet 
wide, and cross each other at right angles. 
State street is the great retail business avenue 
and corresponds to the Broadway of New 
Y'ork, while Michigan avenue, Wabash ave- 
nue, Prairie avenue and South Park avenue 
are noted for the magniflcence of the mansions 
and residences of the wealthy citizens. The 
great conflagration of October (3th to 9th), 
1871, destroyed all that portion of the city 
N. of Harrison street and E. of the North ana 
South branches of the Chicago R., represent- 
ing .an area of nearly 3,000 acres in extent, and 
embracing all the business and mucli oi the 
residence portion of the city. The total loss 
is estimated at >i!l!K),52(i,500 (!Js52,000,000 in build- 
ings and S133,5-2<j,500 in personal property). 
But such is the energy of the people, that this 
unparalleled calamity did not checlc tlie en- 
terprize an<l the progress of the city. The 
rebuilding of the destroj'cd blocks and streets 
was commenced at once, and alreaily Chicago 
is what it was before, the " Queen City of the 
West."

Although Chicago has numerous manufac- 
tnring establishments, as rolling mills, iron 
foundries, tanneries, etc., it is preeminent 
as a commercial city. It is the greatest lum- 
ber market in the Union ; it far exceeds Cin- 
cinnati in pork-packing ; audits commerce in 
?:rain exceeds that of any city in the world. 
n 1838 Chicago shipped 78 bushels of grain ; 
in 1858, 20,010,178; in 1860, 31,109,059 ; in 1862, 56,- 
477,110 and in 1863,54,741,839. Immense grain 
elevators have been built along the river 
banks and near the railroad depots, facilitat- 
ing the handling and moving of these enor- 
mous quantities" of grain.

Chicago "is the great railroad center of the 
west. The lines terminating here are the 
Micliigan Central It. R.; the Chicago & Jlichi- 
gan Lake Shore R. K.; the Indianapolis, Peru 
& Chicago R. R.; the I^ake Shore & Michigan 
Southern R. R.; the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne 
& Chicago R. R.; the Pittsburgh Cincinnati & 
St. Louis R. R.; the Louisville, New Albany*

cennes R.R.; the Illinois Central R. R.; the 
Chicago & Alton R. R.; the Chicago, Burling- 
ton & Quincy R. R.: the Chicago & Iowa R. R.; 
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific R. R.; and 
eight lines of the Chicago & North-western R. 
B.; Chicago is 468 mis. from Pittsburgh, Pa.; 
161 mis. from Indianapolis, Ind.; 9.58 mis. from 
New York ; 493 mis. from Omaha, and 2,407 mis. 
from San Francisco, Cal. 

The communications of Chicago by water 
surpvss those of any interior city. By 
meaiis of the great lakes, the Erie Canal and 
the Hudson R., it is connected with New York; 
and the Illinois and Michigan Canal affords 
an easy access to the Mississippi Valley and 
an uninterrupted water-way to the Gulf of 
Mexico. Lines of steamboats ply between 
Chicago and the principal ports on the lakes, 
and the commercial intercourse with Canada 



is extensive. In the year ended June 30, 1873, 
the number of vessels entered into the port 
from Canada was 174, with 50,838 tons ; and of 
vessels cleared for Canada, 383, with 110,373 
tons. In the same year the number of en- 
rolled vessels was 640 and of licensed vessels 
26, making a total of 666 vessels with 93,919 
tons. This total included 339 sailing vessels, 
95 steam-vessels, 8 barges and 225 Canal-boats. 

Chicago is noted for the excellence of its 
schools and literary establishments. It had, 
in 1S71, one normal school with 23 teachers 
and 587 pupils ; six evening schools with 43 
teachers and 1.232 pupils ; 23 grammar schools 
with 428 teachers and 21,581 pupils, and 15 
primary schools with 123 teachers and 6,593 
pupils. The number ot children of ^chool-age 
was 80,280; of children enrolled in schools, 40,- 
832, and the average attendance was 28,174. 

The Universitj' of Chicago was tirst opened 
for instruction in 1858, and had, in 1871, 14 in- 
structors and 277 students. The building it 
occupies is one of the most elegant and com- 
modious in the west. The Dearborn Observ- 
atory, which is connected with the university, 
contains the Clarke telescope, one of the 
largest and best constructed instruments ex- 
tant. The Chicago Theological Seminary has a 
fine chapel, library and lecture i;ooms, and is a 
flourishing institution. The Baptists and 
Presbyterians have each a thealogical semi- 
nary. It also contains three medical colleges : 
the'Rush Medical College, the Chicrugo JNIedi- 
cal College, and the Hahneman Medical 
College (homeopathic). The Academy of 
Sciences was organized in 1S56 and incor- 
porated in 186.5. It has a large building and 
flue natural historical collections. The His- 
torical Society, which was organized in 1856, 
has a flue library of nearly lOO.OOO volumes, 
and a collection of many valuable public and 
private works or documents. The library of 
the Young Men's Institution contains over 
10,000 volumes, and thatof theLaw Institute 
7,000 volumes. 

There are 105 newspapers and periodicals 
published in the city, of which the follow- 
ing are the most important dalles and week- 
lies combined: "Inter Ocean," "Times," 
"Tribune," "Post," "Journal," "Illinois 
Staats-Zeitung," " Freie Presse," "Union," 
" Mail" and " Skandinavenog America." The 
leading weeklies, aside from the dailies, are 
tlie "Advance," " Interioi'," "Journal of Com- 
merce," " Ainerikanaren " "N. W. C. Advo- 
cate," "Prairie Farmer," "Fireside Friend,^' 
" Standard," " Western Rural." There are 
several monthlies with large circulations and 
proportionate influence, as "Lake Side," "Bu- 
reau," " Gemot the West," "Little Corporal" 
and " National Sunday School Teacher." The 
entire press of the city is spirited, well sus- 
tained, and of large influence in the West. 

The principal parks and public squares are : 
the South Parks, which cover an area of 1,000 
acres, and consist of several detached parks, 
connected by broad boulevards; the West 
Side Parks, which will include, when com- 
pleted, 200 acres; Lincoln Park, 230 acres; 
Union Park ; Lake Park ; Dearborn Park ; 
Jefferson Park ; Ogden Park, and many oth- 
ers of smaller dimensions. 

No city in the country, New Y'ork alone ex- 
cepted, offers more or better entertainments 
than Chicago. McVicker's Theatre has a seat- 
ing capacity of from 1,800, to 2,500, and is de- 
voted to dramatic representations of the 
highest order. The Academy of Music and 
the Globe Theatre, though smaller than Mc- 
Vicker's, always give hrst-class entertain- 
ments. 

Of the many magnificent hotels wl.ioh were 
the pride of Chicago before the greai fire, but 
two or three escaped destruction. Iheir 
re-erection is now in progress, and theix* value,

•Cincinnati, city, port of enti-y and co. seat of 

Hamilton co., Ohio, is situated on the Ohio 11. 

466 mis. below Pittsbur>;h, and 501 mis. above 

Cairo, 111. The first sottb'nient was made in 

178S, and 12 years later it had 750 inhabitants. 

In 1819 Cincinnati was incorporated as a city ; 

in 1830 the Miami Canal was built, which 

freatly increased the prosperity of the citv. 
n 1840 the Little Miami R. R., the first of the 
many lines now centerine; here, was construct- 
ed and gave a new impulse to the growth of 
the city. In 1850 the population was 115,434; 
in 1860, 161, .44 and in 1870, '216,230. This nuiiiber 
Included the following nationalities: 130,627 
natives of the United States ; 554 Austrians ; 
49,446 Germans ; 3,524 Englishmen ; 18,624 Irish- 
men : 787 Scotchmen; 2,093 Frenchmen, and 
1,175 British Americans. 

The site of the city is a semi-circular bot- 
tom rising in two terraces, respectively 50 ft. 
and 108 ft. above the river, and surrounlled on 
the E., N. and W. by the steep slopes or blulfs 
of the uplands, over 400 ft. high. These hills 
are now covered with splendid villas and 
gardens, which aflTord very beautiful views 
upon the city in the valley. The river front 
is 10 mis. long. The streets are laid out with 
great regularity and intersect each other at 
right angles. The business portion of the city is 
compactly built and occupies tlie part nearest 
the river. It contains many blocks of uni- 
formly handsome structures," built in various 
architectural styles, of much purity and ele- 
gance of design. The drab-colored freestone 
generally used for building purposes is quar- 
ried some 20 mis. above Cincinnati, near the 
river banks. 

The Ohio R. is spanned by the gi-eat sus- 
pension bridge, which connects Cincinnati 
with Covington, Ivy. It was <lesigned and 
built by John A. Roebling, a prominent Ger- 
man engineer, and is suspended between two 
massive towers 200 feet high and 1,057 feet dis- 
tant from each other. The entire length of 
the bridge is 2,252 feet. The railroad bridge 
unites Butler street in Cincinnati with Sara- 
toga street in Newport, Kj-., and rests upon 8 
piers. 

Cincinnati has many fine churches, though 
none of such grandevir as to call for a special 
description. The most prominent public 
buildings are : The Court House, on Main 
street; the House of Refuge, in Mill Creek 
Valley ; the City Buiklings, which, with the 
grounds attached, occupy an entire square, 
fronting on Plum street ; the City Hospital, 
one of the finest structures of its kind in the 
country, and the Masonic Temple, on Third 
and Walnut streets. The Custom House and 
Post-office occupy a handsome stone edifice 
on Vine and Fourth streets, which belongs to 
the national government. 

One of the most beautiful works of art in 
Cincinnati is the Davidson Fountain, which 
was purchased in Germany and presented to 
the city by the late Tyler Davidson. It con- 
sists ot'a circular basin surrounded Ijy several 
f roups of allegorical figures, and surmounted 
y a graceful temale figure. It has been placed 
on Fifth street, between Vine and Walnut 
streets, and when throwing its gra(H>fully ar- 
ranged jets of water attracts numerous" ad-

COLORADO. 



COLiORADO, (admitted as a State, Feb. 1875) 
extends from 37° to ill4° N. lat. and from 102° to 
109° long. W. of Greenwich. It liaB an area of 
104,500 s'q. mis., or 66,860,000 acres, and is nearly 
tliirteen times as large as Mass. 

6'(«7ace.— The W. portion of the territory, em- 
bracing about 4-7 of the area, is occupied by the 
principal chains of the Rocky Mts. and numer- 
ous subordinate ranges ; the eastern consists of 
rolling plains, gradually rising toward the W., 
where they are bounded by the foot hills of the 
Rocky Mts. in about 105° SV. long. The Rocky 
Mts. inclose elevated plains or valleys of differ- 
ent ai-eas, which are known as the Xorth Park, 
Middle Park, South Park and San Luis Park. 
The North Park lies between the uaain range of 
the Rocky Mts. and the southern part of the 
Medicine "Bow Mts., and owing to its northern 
situation and cold climate has thus far been 
less explored and settled than the others. The 
Middle Park is S. of the North Park, from which 
it is separated by a transverse chain. Some of 
the loftiest peaks of the Rocky Mts. rise upon 
Its rim, as Long's Peak, 14,050 feet high, about 
IS mis. N. of the 40th pai-allel ; Parry's Peak, 
13,133 feet, and Flora's Peak, 12,878 feet, stand- 
ing near together; Grav's Peak, 14,145 feet,65 
mis. W. of Denver ; Ut. Guvot, 13,223 feet, about 
23 mis. N. of the 39th parallel ; Mt. Silverheels, 
from 2 to 3 mis. S. W. of Mt. Guyot and 13,650 
feet high, and Mt. Lincoln, 14,123 feet, a few 
mis. W. N. W. of Mt. Silverheels. The Middle 
Park is drained by the sources of the Blue R., 
one of the contiuents of the Grand R., and its 
surface is covered by magnificent forests and 
broatl, open meadows. l)irectly S. of it lies 
South Park, the most picturesque of the series. 
The continental divide bounds it on the W. and 
separates it from the deep valley of the upper 
course ot the Arkansas R. The lofty peaks 
rising on its south-western margin are Mt. 
Yale, 14,078 feet, and Mt. Harvard, 14,270 loet. 
The San Luis Park, in the southern part of tno 
territory, and separated from the South Paric 
by the valley of the Arkansas, is by far the 
largest, and has an area of nearly 18,000 sq. mis. 
It is surrounded by the San Juan Mts. and the 
Sierra Mimbres. which form a magnificent 
panorama of snowy peaks and ranges. Thirty- 
live streams, descending from the encircling 
enowy crests, water the park. Nineteen ot 
these streams empty into the beautiful San 
Luis Lake, while the others join the Rio Grande, 
which traverses the park from N. to S. There 
are other parks of smaller area and lying E. or 
W. of those above described. Huerfano Park 
is on the north-eastern side of the San Luis 
Park, and is bounded by the Wet Mts. Uncom- 
pahgre, in the south-western part of the terri- 
tory, is traversed by the Uncompahgre R., a 
tributary of the Grand R., and has the Sierra 
de la Plata for its southern margin. The ranges, 
which branch off from the Rocky Mts. toward 
the W. are thus far but imperfectly explored. 
Thej' separate the valleys of the tributaries of 
the Colorado R., and gradually decrease in ele- 
vation toward tins great river. The maps pre- 
pared in the Engineer's Department exhibit the 
Elk Head Range in the N., the Roan, or Book 
Mts. further S., the Elk Mts. nearly W. of the 
sources of the Arkansas, and lastly "the Uncom- 
pahgi-e Mts., Sierra de la Plata and Sierra de 
San Miguel. The Spanish Peaks form a small 
group of lofty mountains rising E. of the San 
Luia Park, and S. of them are the Raton, or 
Rat, Bits., which inclose some of the most beau- 
tiful and fertile valleys of the territory. 

Rivers. — The continental divide traverses 
Colorado in a general N. and S. direction, and 
the drainage ot the eastern part of the terri- 
tory is carried into the Mississippi, while tliat 
of the western part finds its way into the great 
Colorado R. The North Platte R. drains the 
North Park, the South Platte rises in the South 
Park, and both streams then unite and. inter- 



sect the north-eastern part of the territory 
The Platte receives the Cache a Poudre Cr. 
Pawnee Cr. and Beaver Cr. The Arkansas R, 
rises due W. of Mt. Lincoln, flows S., and turn- 
ing W. intersects the southern part of the ter- 
ritory. It receives the Boiling Fountain Cr., 
the Huerfano R., which rises in the park of the 
same name, the Anista R. and the Purgatory R. 
This stream rises in the Raton Mts., and flows 
through a beautiful canyon. 

The N. VV. corner of the territory is interseot^ 
ed by the Yumpah, or Snake, R., a tributary of 
the Green R. White R., further S., rises in the 
mountain rim of the Middle Park, and also 
empties into the Green R. The Tunkara R., a 
branch of the Grand R., rises within Middle 
Park, receives numerous affluents, and joins 
the Green R. to form the Colorado. 

Climate — The climate of the territory resem- 
bles that of the eastern states in the same lati- 
tude, except that the air is much drier and the 
range of temperature between the extremes 
much smaller. Rain falls almost exclusively 
from May to July ; the other months are dry. 
Frost appears about the middle of September, 
and continues until the opening of spring, 
which usually occurs a month earlier than m 
the east. 

Vegetation.— Ihe plains of the eastern part of 
Colorado are covered with nutritious grasses, 
and offer excellent inducements to the grazier 
and stock raiser. In the mountainous part 
there are extensive forests. Summit co., in the 
N. W., including an area of nearly 20,000 sq. mis., 
is well watered and timbered with oak, pine 
and poplar woods. The parks also abound with 
extensive forests, which will prove of great 
value in the future development of the country. 

Population. — Colorado was organized as a ter- 
ritory by act of February 28, 1861. The census 
for 18"70 returns a population of 39,864 (or 0.38 in- 
habitants to the sq. mle.), of whom 33,265 were 
natives of the United States, including 32 natives 
of Colorado. The foreign-born population num- 
bers 6,599, of whom 663 were Canadians, 1,465 
Germans, 1,358 Englishmen, and 1,685 Irishmen. 
Of the 17,583 persons who were engaged in dif- 
ferent occupations and business pursuits, 6,462 
were agriculturists, 3,625 were engaged in pro- 
fessional and personal services, 2,815 in trade 
and transportation, and 4,681 in manufactures 
and mechanical or mining industries. 

Affriculiure has but recently received atten- 
tion. The climate renders irrigation necessary. 
But wherever this has been applied the results 
have been exceedingly favorable. The cereals 
and fruits produce large crops of superior qual- 
ity, wherever properly cultivated and irrigat- 
ed. Orchards have been planted in the valley 
of the South Platte and the upper Arkansas Rs., 
and promise to be entirely successful. The 
planting of forest trees on the arid plains has 
engaged the attention of but few settlers thus 
far ; but its feasibility has been demonstrated 
in the fine grove of cottonwood now growing 
luxuriantly in the city of Denver. The soil of the 
valleys, on the plateaux and along the streams, 
is generally rich. Some of the finest agricultu- 
ral lands, including about 800,000 acres, is found 
on the upper tributaries of the South Platte. 
The census returns 1,738 farms, of which 166 had 
less than 10 acres ; 263, from 10 to 20 acres ; 671, 
from 20 to 50 acres ; 371, from 50 to 100 acres ; 258, 
from 100 to 500 acres ; 6, from 500 to 1,000 acros, 
and 3 over 1,000 acres. The improved land in 
farms embraced 95,594 acres. The cash value of 
farms was $;J,385,748, and the total estimated 
value of all farm productions was $416,236, and of 
live stock, $252,394. Colo, produced 265,939 bush, 
of spring wheat ; 2,535 bush, of winter wheat ; 
5,235 bush, of rye ; 231,903 bush, of corn ; 332,94fl 
bush, of oats ; 890 lbs. of tobacco ; 204,925 lbs. of 
wool ; 121,442 bush, of Irish pot's, and 19,787 tons 
of hay. The increased facilities of transporta 
tion greatly stimulate stock raising. A few

years ago beef cattle were driven from Cal. to 
Colo, to find a market. Since the completion 
of the Pacific 11. Ks. large shipments ot cattle 
have been made from Colo, to Cal. In 1870 
Colo, had 6,446 horses ; 1,173 mules and asses ; 
20,017 milch cows ; 5,566 working oxen ; 40,153 
Other cattle ; 120,928 sheep, and 5,509 swine. 

Mining operations date as far hack as 1853, 
■when gold was taken from placers near the 
site where now stands the city of Denver. Af- 
terward followed the discovery of the rich de- 
posits of gokl, silver, copper, lead and zinc in 
various portions of the mountain region. Min- 
ing is now carried on chiefly in the cos. of Gil- 
pin, Park, Clear Cr., Summit, Lake and Boulder. 
Gold is mostly found interinixed with silver, 
and silver with copper and lead. The value ot 
precious minerals, obtained during 1870, has 
been estimated at about $1,000,000, of which 
ijl,500,000 were yielded by the placers, and the 
remainder by quartz veins. The censxis reports 
the value at only $859,374. Copper pyrites oc- 
cur in the gold and silver mining districts, and 
silver-bearing galena (lead) is also found. Coal 
beds have been discovered in the mountainous 
districts and in the parks, and will, doubtless, 
aid materially in the development of the mining 
and industrial interests. Salt occurs near Pair 
Play in South Park, but the cost of furnace 
evaporation has been found too great to leave 
a profit. In several localities, however, dry 
and comparatively pure salt is found. Mineral 
springs are very abundant in the territory, par- 
ticularly such as contain sulphur. Those in 
the Middle Park range in temperature from 
100° to 116° Fahr., and are found to be effica- 
cious in rheumatic and scrofulous diseases. 
In the San Juan Mts., not far from the southern 
boundary of the territorji, is the Pagora Spring, 
which has a temperature of 200°, and is report- 
ed to possess great curative power. Another 
large sulphur spring is situated near the Raton 
Pass, to the east of the San Luis Park. 

Manufactures. — The manufacturing interests 
are as yet of limited importance. In 1870 there 
were 250 establisments (each producing over 
$.500 worth of goods), which employed capital 
of $1,593,380 and 876 hands. The products had a 
value of $2,852,820, and consisted of flour, meal, 
lumber and cast-iron. 

Education.— Colo, has 135 schools and 145 teach- 
ers. The total population over 5 and below 21 
years of age was, in 1870, 8,593, of which number 
5,345 persons were enrolled in the public schools. 
The receipts for school purposes ($98,105) were 
mostly received from taxation. The number of 
newspapers and journals published in the terri- 
tory was, in 1870,fourteen, and in 1873,thirtj'-one. 
Wealth and Taxation. — Tlie total assessed 
wealth of the territory was, according to the 
last census, $17,338,101, of which sum $8,840,811 
were real estate, and $8,497,290 personal estate. 
The total taxation (not national) was $362,197. 
The territorj' has no bonded debt. 

Oovernmeni- — Tiie constitution of Colo, was 
framed by a convention on August 12, 1865, and 
atlopted by the people September 5th of the 
same j'ear. The capital was formerly at Gold- 
en City, but is now at Denver. The legislature 
consists of a council of 13 members, and a house 
of representatives of 26 members. The general 
election is on the 1st Tuesday of October. 

Colo, is divided into the following 21 cos: 
Arapahoe, Bent, Boulder, Clear Cr., Conejos, 
Costilla, Douglas, El Paso, Premont, Gilpin, 
Greenwood, Huerfano, Jefl'erson, Lake, Lari- 
mer, Las Animas,- Park, Pueblo, Saquache,

Colorado, co. in Tex., E. central part. Area 
about 1,015 sq'. mis. Pop., 8,326 ; in 1S60, 7,885. 
This CO. extends on both sides of the Colorado 
11., from which it derives its name, and in- 
cludes a portion of its valley. The latter is a 
low alluvial and very productive plain ; the 
higher tracts on both sides of it are undu- 



lating and consist mostly of prairies. Tho 
southern part of the co. is drained by Sandy 
Cr.. a tributary of the Lavaca R. Columbus 
is the CO. seat. Agr. productions in 1870: Rye, 
51 bush.; Indian-corn, 130,423 bush.; Irish pot's, 
2,048 bush.; sweet pot's, 14,442 bush.; cotton, 
2,796 bales ; butter, 40,165 lbs.; hay, 530 tons. 
Cash value of farms, $493,890. Total, estimat- 
ed, value of all farm productions, including

Colorado River, large stream in Tex., rises 
on the Llano Estacado in the N. W. part of 
the state, and intersects the latter from X. VV. 
to S. E., emptying into Matagorda B., near 
the village. Matagorda, Austin, Bastrop, La 
Grange and Columbus lie upon its banks. It 
is navigable as high up as Austin, about 300 
nils. al)ove its mouth. 

Colorado River, also called the Colorado 
of the West, to distinguish it from the sev- 
eral Colorado or Red Rs. of our country, no- 
tably from the Colorado R. of Tex., the Red 
R. of the N., etc.; is formed by the confluence 
of the Green R. and the Grand R. The Green 
R. rises on the W. slope of the "Wind River 
Mts. of Wyo., near i'remont's Peak. Its sour- 
ces are not far from those of the AVind R., 
Yellow Stone R. and Snake R. Atflrst it flows 
S. through the desert plateau of southern 
Wyo., which lies between the AVahsatch Mts. 
and the Wind River Mts. Arriving near the 
northern base of the Uintah Mts. it turns E. 
and then resumes a southerly course through 
the narrow valley or cafion which separates 
the Uintah Mts. and numerous extensions of 
the Wahsatch Mts. from the Sierra Escalante 
and other ranges, until it joins the Grand R. 
in lat. 38° 27'. The principal tributaries of 
the Green R. are the Bear R. and White R. 
from the E., and the Muddy Fork, the Uin- 
tah R., another White R. and Akanaquint Cr. 
from the W. The Grand R. rises in the Rocky 
Mts., a range of which separates its sources 
from those of the Arkansas R. Its course lies 
entirely between lofty mountains, and its 
principal tributary, the Bnnkara R., rises in 
the Middle Park-, and flows between the Roan 
and Elk Mts. The head waters of the Bun- 
kara, which drain the Middle Park, are the 
Gilpin R., James R., Bangs R., Milk R. and 
Blue R. From the junction of the Green and 
Grand Rs. the Colorado flows S. W. through 
Utah and northern Ariz., until it is joined by 
the Little Colorado, or Flax, R., when it ab- 
ruptly turns N. W., which course it pursues 
as far as the little town of Callville. From 
this point it follows a southerly course, until 
it empties into the northern angle of the Gulf 
of California in lat. 31° 50'. It receives several 
important tributaries from the E. and S. E., 
as the JuanR., the Flax R., Bill Williams 
Fork and the Gila R. Small steamboats as- 
cend the Colorado R. to Callville. From the 
junction of the Green and Grand Rs. to Call- 
ville, a distance of over 350 mis., the Colorado 
R. flows through a series of tremendous 
chasms, known by the Spanish name of 
"cauons." They are rents or ravines in the 
lofty plateaux, as the W^hite Mesa and others, 
which occupy southern-western Utah ana 
northern Ariz. These caOons are hemmed in 
by nearly perpentliculur rocky walls of im- 
mense lieijiht, often exceedhig 5,000 or 6,000 
feet, shutting out the light from the R., which 
flows througli these somber depths. [See the

passed through the city on his famous " march 
to the sea," and found it in flames, which de- 
stroyed a large part of it. Columbia has re- 



covered from this calamity, and will soon at- 
tain to its former prosperity. Its commerce 
is considerable, as it is the shipping center 
for the agricultural pi-oducts of^ a large por- 
tion of the state. The river affords immense 
water-power, which will make the city a great 
manufacturing place when fully utilized. 
Northern capitalists have of late made in- 
vestments here with this view. Twelve news- 
papers and periodicals are published in Col- 
umbia.

Columbia River rises in the Rocky j\Its., 
British Columbia, and empties into the Paci- 
fic Ocean. Its source is a small lake in 50° jST. 
lat. and 110° W. long. The river at first flows 
N. W. along the base of the Rocky Mts. In 
52° 30' N. lat. it turns S. and pursues this 
course to about 46° N. lat., and thence it flows 
W., forming the boundary between Oreg. and 
Wash. Ter. It breaks through the Cascade 
Mts. in deep gorges, forming cascades and 
rapids. It is navigable from its mouth to the 
foot of the Cascade Mts. for about 150 mis., 
and again above its passage through this 
range to Fort Walla Walla. Its principal af- 
fluents from the right are the Okinabaw R., 
Wenatshapan R., the Upper Yakima R., the 
Wenass R., the Yakima R., the Cath-a-poote 
R. and the Cowlitz R. The tributaries enter- 
ing on its left bank are larger than those 
mentioned, as the Kootanie R., Clarks Fork, 
which drains Lake Pend d'Oreille, the Spok- 
ane R., the Snake R., or Lewis Fork, all rising 
in the Rocky Mts. and receiving the drainage 
from their western slopes. Below the Snake 
R., the Columbia receives the Walla Walla R., 
Umatilla R. and John Days R., all rising in 
the Blue Mts. The Des Chutes R. rises in th<^. 
Cascade Mts. and flows along their eastern 
base, and the Willamette R. traverses a ri-^i; 
valley in Oreg., between the Cascade and the 
Coast Mts. The first exploration of the Col- 
umbia and the country which it intersects was

Concord, Claremont & Contocook R. R.; the 
western terminus of the Portisuiouth R. R., 
and the southern terminus of the Boston, 
Concord, Montreal & White Mountains R. R. 
It is 18 mis. from Manchester and 73 mis. from 
Boston, Mass. 
The city stands upon a level ground grad- 



ually rising from the river bank, and consists 
chiefly of two principal streets, extending 
two mis. long and parallel to the river. The 
State Capitol occupies an entire square of 
ground, and is built of the celebrated Concord 
granite. The other public buildings of inter- 
est are : the City Hall and Court House, on 
Main street ; the State Prison, on State street, 
and the Asylum for the Insane, in the western 
part of the city. The population was, in 1850, 
8,570 ; in 1860, 10,896 ; iu 1870, 12,241, of whom 
10,577 were natives of the United States, and 
1,664 foreigners. The population is almost 
wholly white, there being but 36 colored per- 
sons. 

It has numerous manufactories, producing 
agricultural implements, leather belting, car- 
riages and wagons, men's clothing, cotton 
goods ($1,516,209), furniture, hosiery, leather, 
lumber, machinery, paper, sadlery and har- 
ness, silverware, woodenware and woollen 
goods. 

Concord, like most New England cities, has 
excellent schools. In 1871 2,344 children were 
enrolled in the public schools, which num- 
bered 49, and had 75 teachers. Six newspapers 
were published in 1873.

COBfJVECTICUT, one of the 13 original states 
of the Union, and the most south-western of the 
New England states, is bounded on the K. by 
Mass., on the E. by R. I., on the AV. byN. Y.,and 
on the S. by Long Island Sound. It extends 
from 41° to 42° 2%' N. lat.,and from 71° 55' to 73° 
50' W. long. The area is estimated at 4,730 sq. 
mis., or 3,'027j200 acres. . 

Surface.—Conn. has no lofty mountains, but 
is pleasantly diversified by hills and valleys. 
It includes the southern extremities of the two 
great New England systems of elevations which 
are known in Vt. as the Green Mts. and in N. H. 
as the White Mts. The wide valley traversed 
by the Connecticut R. and the lower course of 
the Quinniiuak R. scpai'ates these two sj-stcms. 
Tlie traveler coming from the banks of tho 
Hudson R., in the W., first rises in Litelilield 
CO. to the broad and undulating table-land which 
occupies the western part of the stat<>, then 
gradually descends into the valley of the Con- 
necticut R., and at last crosses the greatly di- 
versified hilly region of Eastern Connecticut. 
Thus the state may be divided into three dis- 
tinct sections'. The western plateau, with its 
numerous ranges and ridges, is tho culniinai ing 
ground. It has a mean elevation of from cm to 
700 feet, while some of its supcrinii)oseil hills 
exceed 1,200 feet; and is on the whole better 
1 adapted to grazing and dairying than to the

growth of cereals. It is intersected by the val- 
leys of the Housatonic R. and its tributaries, 
and gradually descends in a southerly direction 
until it terminates with low hills near the 
shores of the sound. The Central or Connecti- 
cut Kiver Valley is the best farming region of 
the state, and has an average width of over 20 
mis. It is traversed bv trap dykes, trending N. 
and S. Such are the Talcot Mts., W. of Hartford 
(S90 feet high); the range which terminates with 
the Hanging Hills (995 feet), W. of Meriden ; 
Mt. Carniel (800 feet), near Hamden ; East Kock 
arid West Rock, near New Haven. The Central 
Vklley belongs to the red sandstone formation. 
The eastern portion of the state consists of nu- 
merous ranges of hills with gentle declivities, 
and contains in the valleys which intersect it 
much excellent farm land. One of these ranges 
trends in a south-westerlj^ direction, terminat- 
ing near New Haven, and is intersected below 
Middletown by the Connecticut R. 

Rivers and Lakes.— Ilia largest stream of the 
state is the Connecticut R. It flows due S. as 
far as Middletown through the Central Valley, 
and then turns S. E., emptying mto Long 
Island Sound near Saybrook. During a former 
geological period it unquestionably followed 
the Central Valley into the B. of New Haven ; 
but now it breaks through a range of hills, 
leaving the drainage of the lower part of its 
proper valley to the Quinnipiak and other 
small rivers. The largest tributary of the Con- 
necticut is the Earmington R., which, coming 
from Mass., flows S. S. E. to the village of Earm- 
ington. Here it turns sharply northward, flow- 
ing along the valley W. of the Talcot Mt. At 
Turiflfville it again changes its course, breaks 
through the trap mountains and empties into 
the Connecticut R. near Windsor. The Park R., 
Little R. and others also join this large stream 
from the W. Its eastern affluents are Scantic 
R., I'odank R., Ilockannm R., Roaring Brook 
and Salmon R. Steamboats ascend the Con- 
necticut to Hartford. The eastern part of 
the state is drained by the Thames R., wliich 
empties into the sound near New Loudon. It 
Is formed by the confluence, near Norwich, of 
the Yantic and Quinebaug Rs. The former is 
but a small stream, while the latter rises in 
Mass. and traverses the entire width of the 
state. The largest of its numerous afliuents is 
the Shetucket R., which is formed by the junc- 
tion of the Willimantic and Natchaug Rs. Cor- 
responding with the Thames in the E. is the 
Housatonic in the \V., which rises among the 
highlands of Berkshire co., Mass., and flows 
S. S. W. through Litchfleld co. to South Kent, 
where it changes its course to the S. E. to Derby. 
A few miles below this town it receives its larg- 
est tributary, the Naugatuck R., and then flows 
due S. to the sound. Its other tributaries are 
the Shepaug R., the Pomeraug R., and the Qua- 
sipaug R., which rise on the table-land of Litch- 
field CO., and have southerly courses. Besides 
the three large rivers here mentioned, there 
are numerous smaller ones which empty into 
the sound. The Noraton, Norwalk and Sauga- 
tuck drain the S. W. part of the state. Into 
New Haven B. empty the West R., MDl R. and 
Qmnnipiak R. The Mystic R. empties E. of 
the Thames and opposite Eisher's Island, and 
tlie Pawcatuck R. partly separates Conn, from 
K. I. Many of the principal streams of the state 
have in common the deviatiou of their lower 
courses toward the S. E., although the ranges 
of mountains and hills trend in a S. S. W. direc- 
tion. Hence, each of these rivers, after flow- 
mg through a part of one valley, breaks through 
a range of hills and passes into another. The 
Connecticut, Earmington, Shetucket, Housa- 
tonic, Quinnipiak, and some others, have this 
feature. 

Connecticut has no large lakes, but numerous 
small and often picturesque sheets of water are 
distributed over its surface. The following 



merit especial mention : Saltonstall Lake, near 
New Haven B.; Pokatapaug Lake, in Middlesex 
CO.; SnipsiekPond and Narhapaug Lake in Tol- 
land CO., and Long Lake and Crooked Lake, in 
Litchfleld co. 

£ays and i3ar6or«.— The most important of 
these is the B. of New Haven, situated at the 
southern terminus of the Central Valley. New 
London is at the mouth of the Thames ; Strat- 
ford Harbor at the mouth of the Housatonic, and 
Saybrook Harbor at the mouth of the Connecti- 
cut. Besides these, at the mouths of the princi- 
pal rivers there arc convenient harbors at 
Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, Saugatuck, 
South Port, Bridgeport, Milford, Branford, 
Sachem's Head, Double Beach, Guilford, Nian- 
tic. Mystic and Stonington. 

Minerals.— Foremost among the mineral treas- 
ures of Connecticut are building stones. Brown 
sandstone abounds in various localities. It is 
extensively quarried at Portland, on the Con- 
necticut R., N. of Middletown. The Bolton 
stone, a micacious slate, which splits into thin 
plates, used for flagging, is quarried near 
Bolton, E. of Hartford. White marble is also 
quite abundant. Granite, gneiss and mica slate 
are largely shipped from the sea-coast to New 
York and other parts of the country. Near 
Bristol there are valuable copper mines, and 
near Middletown lead mines have been at 
various times in operation, though without ade- 
quate proflt. A cobalt mine is in Chatham. 
Traces of gold and silver have been found, but 
not in paying quantities. In the E. part of 
Cheshire large quantities of barytes, or heavy 
spar, are obtained, which are used in the manu- 
facture of paints. Hydraulic lime occurs near 
the trap dykes of Berlin and Southington. Bis- 
muth is found near Monroe, and near Chatham 
are productive mines of cobalt and nickle. 
Eeldspar, sufliciently pure for the manufacture 
of porcelain, is found near Middletown, and 
near Stafl'ord is the most famous chalybeate 
spring of New England. 

CVtwju^e.— The climate of Conn, is, like that 
of the other New England states, marked 
by great extremes and sudden changes. The 
winters are cold ; the summers hot. The ther- 
mometer rises as high as 93 degrees and sinks 
as low as 15 or '20 degrees below zero, showing a 
difference between the summer maximum and 
winter maximum of over 118 degrees. The 
N. W. part of the state, including the Litchfleld 
table-land, has the coolest climate ; the districts 
bordering on the sea the warmest. In New 
London the mean monthly temperature was 
found to be, in 185G: Jan., 21. TC^ ; Feb., 25.02° ; 
March, 30.87° ; Apr., 48.78° ; May, 51.07° ; June, 
68.85° ; July, 73.70° ; Aug., 68.61° ; Sept., 65.0S° ; 
Oct., 51.49° ; Nov., 41.92° ; Dec, 28.27°. The mean 
annual temperature was in the same place 
47.41° ; in Pom fret. 42.58°, and in Saybrook, 
47.38°. Westerly winds prevail throughout the 
state largely in excess over all others. Tlius at 
New London, of 1,098 observations there were: 
779 of N. W., W. and S. W. winds ; 24 E. winds ; 
77 N. winds ; 77 S. winds, and 147 about equally 
divided between N. E. and S. E. winds. The 
amount of precipitation (rain and melted snow) 
was found to be at New London 41.67 inches, 
and at Pomfret, 47.69 inches. 

27ie Population was formerly almost exclu- 
sively of English or Anglo-Saxon blood, but for 
some years past the foreign immigration, 
mostly Irish, has rapidly increased. The aggre- 
gate population was, in 1800, 251,002; ISlo, 261,-

Agriculture.— The higher portions of Conn, 
are well adapted to stock raising, and cattle, 
butter and cheese form important articles of 
export. The rich valleys produce the cereals, 
fruits and vegetables of the Temperate zone in 

great abundance. The cultivation ot tobacco 
as greatly increased of late, particularly in 
the valley of the Connecticut R. The last cen- 
sus gives the following statistics: Land in 
farms, 2,364,416 acres, or 78 per cent, of the area 
of the state. Of this amount l,(!i|),752 acres 
•were improved and 577,333 acres wooTlland. The 
cash value of farms was !j(124,241,382, or $75 per 
acre of improved land. The estimated value 
of farm products, including betterments and 
additions to stock, was $26,482,150 ; of forest pro- 
ducts, $1,224,107 ; of slaughtered animals, $4,881,- 
858 ; of live stock, $17,545,038. The productions

of other cattle ; 83,485 sheep, and 51,983 swine. 

Munu/aciiires.—Vonn. is one of the first manu- 
facturing states of the Union, and the great ma- 
jority of the inhabitants are directly or indirect- 
ly interested in some one branch of this pur- 
suit. In 1870 the total value of products was 
8(161,065,474, or nearly $.300 per inhabitant, and 
seven times as much as the value of farm pro- 
ductions. The capital invested was $86,419,579 ; 
the number of establishments, 5,128; employ- 
ing 25,979 horse -power in steam-engines; 54,395 
horse-power in water-wheels, and 89,523 opera-

Commerce and Jlailroadx. — The direct com- 
merce with foreign countries Avas formerly far 
more important than it is at present, and is be- 
ing absorbed more and more by New York. 
During the year ending .June 30, 1871, the im- 
ports had a value of $1,128,909, and the exports 
of domestic goods of $661,091. The number of 
vessels entering the ports of the state was 187, 
of 35,391 tons burden, and the number of vessels 
Which cleared from those ports was 474, with

Conn, is well provided with railroads, which 
have a total length of 820 mis. against ti.30 mis. 
in 1802 ; 496 mis. in 1852, and 176 mis. in 1842. The 
principal roads are the New York & Now PJa ven 
B. R.; the New Haven, Hartford & Springfield 
R. R.; the Shore Line R. R., connecting New 
Haven with Providence, R. I.; the Connecticut 
Valley R. R.; the Danbury & Norwalk R. R.;

that Conn, is one of tlie wealthiest states of 
the Union. The total taxation, not national, 
reached the high figure of $6,0G4,84;5, of which 
$1,875,0-24 were state taxation, $20,113 co. taxa- 
tion, and $4,169,706 town and city taxation. The

218 for principal of the school fund ; interest on 
this fund $13i,915.10, and various smaller sums. 
The amount of state debt on April 1, 1872, was 
$4,923,505.85 against $5,804,610.93 the preceding 
year; of CO., tn. and city debt, $9,813,010 (which 
is supposed to have increased by $2,000,000 since 
that time), making the indebtedness of the peo- 
ple $14,736,515.80 or $27.44 per head of population. 

Education, etc. — The schools of Conn, enjoy a 
well-deserved reputation. In 1872 there were

ford (Episcopal), and the Wesleyan University, 
at Middletown (Methodist). With Yale College 
there are connected a Theological Seminary, a 
Law School, a Medical School, and the Sheffield 
Scientific School. By an act of the legislature 
the latter has been constituted the college for 
the promotion of agriculture and mechanic 
arts, and has received the land appropriation 
bestowed by congress for this purpose.

logical Institute of Connecticut (Congrega- 
tional), at Hartford; the Berkeley Divinity 
School (Episcopal), at Middletown ; the Episco-

Connecticut River, the largest stream gf 
New England, rises in the Heights of Land 
Avhioh separate the United States from Cana- 
da ; flows S. between Vt. and N. H.; intersects 
Mass. and Conn, and empties into Long Island 
Sound near Saybrook. The I'iver is over 400 
rals. long, and its width in Conn, and Mass. 
varies from 500 to 1,050 feet. The principal 
tributaries from the W. are the Passumijsic 
R., the White R., the Deerfield and Westfield 
Rs. in Mass., and tlie Farmington R. in Conn. 
The tributaries from the E. are the Amnio- 
noosuc R. in N. H., Miller's R. and the Chieopee 
R. in Mass., and several small creeks in 
Conn. The valley of the Connecticut is ex- 
ceedingly fertile, and in its lower or Connec- 
ticut portion large quantities of tobacco are 
raised. At Middletown, Conn., the river 
turns to the S. E. and breaks through a range 
of hills. In Mass. it i^asses by Mt. Holyoke 
and Mt. Tom. The scenery of the valley, 
which in the mean is from 35 to 40 nils, wide. 
Is famous for its beauty. The Green Mts. and 
their extensions bound it on the VV. ; the 
White Mts., and numerous lesser elevations, 
in Mass. and Conn, on the E. The river is 
navigable as far as Hartford. A line of steam- 
ers plies during the summer season between 
this city and New I'ork. The name is derived 
from the Indian appellation of the stream, 
Quonektacut, which is said to mean Long R.

DAKOTA extends from 43" to 49^ N. lat. and 
from 96'^ 22' .30" to 104° W\ long. It is bounded 
on the N. by British America, on the E. by 
Minn, and Iowa, on the S. by Nebr., and on the 
W. b.v Wyo. and Jlont. The greatest length is 
414 mis. and the greatest width 360 mis.; the 
area, 150,932 sq. mis., or 96,.'i96,480 acres. The 
southern boundary is formed bj' the Missouri 
R., the Niobrara R. and the Iveya Paha R.; the 
eastern by the Big Sioux R.; Big Stone Lake, 
Lake Travei-se and the Red R. of the North. 

Surface. — The t^erritory forms a gently undu- 
I.ating prairie, rising very gradually from the 
E. to the W. Near its south- westerii corner are 
the Black Hills, the only mountain group of the 
region, which rises over 7,000 feet above the sea. 
The "Plateau du Cotcau du IMissouri," or Mis- 
souri Hills, occupy the eastern shores of the 
.great river, and "the "Plateau du Cotcau des 
Prairies," or Prairie Hills, a table-land which 
nowhere exceeds 1,.500 feet in elevation, extend 
for '200 mis. along the the eastern border of tlm 
territory. 

Rivers and Lakes.— The. Missouri R. intersects 
Dakota from tin; N. W. to the S. E., and re- 
ceives within its boundaries numerous tributa- 
ries. Those joining the main stream from the 
W. are the Little 3Iissouri, the Bi,g Knife, the 
Heart, the Cannon Ball, the Roe or Grande, the 
Shyenne, formed by two forks, which receive 
the drainage of the Black Hills, the White and 
the Niobrara Rs. From the E. the Missouri 
receives the numerous small creeks which rise 
in the ]Missouri Hills; the Dakota R., a large 
stream which traverses the territory fronr N. 
to S.; the Vermillion B.; the BrulG Cr. and the. 
Big Sioux R. The Red R. of the North passes 
northward for a distance of 200 mis. along the 
eastei'u boundary of the territory. It receives 
the Shyenne-Oyu R., which drains the Mini 
Wakan or Devil Lake. The Pembina R. inter- 
sects the north-eastern part of the territory, 
and the Souris, or Mouse, 11. the northern. 

Climate.~ThQ climate is more genial and mild 
than the high latitude would seem to warrant. 
The annual rain-fall averages '20 inches, and the 
iact that it mostly occurs tluring the warm sea- 
son is favorable to vegetation. Although Dakota 
is mainly a prairie region, forests are not waul- 
ing. The margins of the rivers, lakes and brooks 
are generally fi-inged with groves of cotton- 
wood, oak, ash, elm and maple. The prai- 
ries- of southern Dakota are covei-ed with 
myriads of beautiful wild flowers from April 
to" October. 

i^oputo/Jo;».— Dakota was organized as a ter- 
ritory on the '2d of March, 1861. The tirst white 
settlements were made in 1858-9 at Sioux Palls, 
Vermillion and Yankton. In 1870 the popula- 
tion was 14,181, or 0.09 persons to the sq. mie. 
There were 9,.366 natives (including 92 colored 
and 999 Indians), and 4,815 foreign-born persons. 
Of the total number of persons en,gaged in all 
classes of occupations {•),727), 2,.5'22 were engaged 
in agriculture, 2,704 in proft^ssional and per- 
sonal services, '204 in trade and transportation, 
and 457 in manufactures and mining. 
At/ricuUiire.—Da\iotA has much excellent soil.

of wbich thus fiir but little is settled and culti- 
vated. The valley of the Big Sioux R., as high 
up as Stone Lake, is one of the finest bodies of 
agricultural land in the territory, and will, at 
no distant day, be improved. West of it is 
•^"other valley of great fertility on Brule Cr. 
This is one of the most attractive and most 
densely populated districts of Dakota. The 
> ermillion Valles', still further W., is noted for 
Its groat natural beauty and fertility of soil, 
and IS being rapidly settled. The Dakota R. 
Valley IS thus far but little known, but contains 
extensive tracts of the very best fanning lands. 
Along the Missouri 11., from the mouth of the 
Big Sioux to Fort Thompson, extends a broad, 
fertile plain, well supplied with heavy timber, 
and accessible to markets. 

Of the land in farms, 42,645 acres were im- 
proved, •2-.',(;05 acres woodland, and 237,126 acres 
unimproved. The number of farms was 1,720 
of which 455 included from 3 to 10 acres: 414 
from 10 to 20 acres; 642 from 20 to 50 acres; 166 
ti-om 50 to 100 acres, and 43 from 100 to 500 acres. 
Ihe total cash value of farms was $2,085,265, and 
the estimated value of farm productions $495,- 
bS/ ; and of all live stock, $779,952. The principal 
productions were : 170,460 bush, of spring wheat; 
13o,140 corn ; 114,327 oats ; 4,118 barley;50,177 pot's 
8,810 lbs. ot wool ; 209,735 butter ; 13,347 tons of 
hay, and 1,230 lbs. of sorghum molasses. Da- 
kota had 2,514 horses ; 225 mules, and asses ; 
4,151 milch cows ; 2,125 working oxen ; 6,191 other 
cattle; 1,961 sheep, and 2,033 swine. 

Manufactures.— The total value of manufac- 
tures was $178,570, and the principal products 
were lumber, flour and meal. The Northern 
1 acifle B. It. will intersect this territory from 
E. to W. 

Education.— There were 34 public schools of 
all classes m Dakota, with 48 teachers and 1,223 
pupils. The school income amounted to $8,364, 
wluch was raised entirely by taxation. Three 
weekly newspapers were published, with a to- 
tal circulation of 1,652 copies. 

Wealth and Taxation.— The total assessed 
value ot real estate was $1,695,723, and of per- 
sonal estate, $1,228,766. The estimated value of 
real and personal estate amounted to $5,599,752. 
Dakota had no state debt. The couutv debt 
was but $5,761, and the taxation (not nationan 
was $13,867. 

Government.— The Governor and Secretary 
are appointed by the President. The Auditor, 
Ireasurer, and Superintendent of Public In- 
struction are chosen by the qualified electors. 
Xhe judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, District Courts, and Probate Courts, 
ihe Supreme Court is conmosed of one Chief 
J ustiee and two Associate Justices. 

The following counties are organized : Bon- 
homme, Buffalo, Charles Mix, Clay, Deuel,

DELAWARE, one of the original thirteen 
Stiites ; is bounded on the N. by Pa., on the W. 
and S. by Md. and on the E. by the Delaware 
R. and B., and the Atlantic Ocean. It extends 
from 38° 28' to 39° .50' N. lat., and has an area of 
2,1-20 sq. mis. or ],3.5;,S00 acres. 

Surface. — Delaware occupies the north-eastern 
portion of the peninsula which separates Dela- 
ware B. from Chesapeake B., and which forms 
a plain of but little elevation above the sea 
level. Through the center of this peninsula ex- 
tends from N. to S. a broad swell of the ground, 
somewhat higher than the sea-coast, and cov- 
ei-ed with swampy tracts, from which the small 
streams issue. Delaware includes a portion of 
this higher ground and thus forms a plain 
gently mclinnig from the W. to the shores of 
Delaware B. on the E. 

Rivers.— Thii rivers of Delaware are small, 
and with the one exception of the Delaware R., 
Which forms the boundary, are not navigable. 
Into this large stream empty the following: 
Brandywine Cr., rising in Chester co.. Pa., tra- 
versing a wild and romantic valley, and joined 
near Wilmington by Christiana Cr. ; Duck Cr. 
forming the boundary between Kent and New- 
castle COS.; Mlspillion R., forming the boundary

FliORIDA includes the peninsula of Florida, 
wliicli extends from the northern boundary of 
tlio state, in a direction S. S. E. for 350 mis., be- 
tween the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mex- 
ico ; and West Florida, a narrow region extend- 
ing along the Gulf of Mexico to the River Per- 
dido, 350 mis. west of the Atlantic coast-line. On 
the north the state boundary separates it from 
Georgia and Alabama, while on all other sides 
it is surrounded by water. The area of the 
state is 59,268 sq. inls., or 37,931,520 acres, of 
which 46,000 sq. mis. are embraced in the penin- 
sula. The latter has a nearly uniform width of a 
little Tnore than a hundred mis., and extends 
from 25° to 30° N. lat. 

(SfMr/ace.— No part of the state rises to an ele- 
vation of more than 250 feet above tlie sea level. 
Tile greater part of the peninsula is but a few 
feet above high tide. The land which forms it 
slopes eastward and westward from a central 
elevation about 175 feet high, composed of a 
porous limestone somewhat older than the 
miocene group, and of a friable sand-rock. 
This " Back Bone Ridge," as it has been called. 
Is about fifty mis. wide, and extends as far south 
as Charlotte Harbor. Low, swampy tracts ex- 
tend E. and S. of it, with a muddy or sandy sur- 
face soil. Part of this is a vast "field of coarse 
saw grass, and aquatic plants known as the 
Everglades ; tlicy cover an area of about 4.000 sq. 
m.ls. Between them and the Gulf of Mexico ex- 
tends a vast forest of cypress about one-half 
the size of tlie Everglades, and known as the 
Big Cypress. Most of this region is wholly un- 
inliab'ited and almost unexplored. The Atlantic 
and the Gulf coast are covered by forests of 
cypress, live-oak and cedar on the low lands, 
and of pine on the sand ridges. The whole of 
the southern portion of the ])eninsula lies on a 
modern coral formation, and has been formed 
by the addition of successive crescent-shaped 
reefs around the extremity of the " Back IJone 
Ridgi!." About seven of these reefs have been 
notcil S. of Lake Okec Chobee, and the process 
is still going on. The so-called "Keys" (troman 
Indian word signifying an island) are the sum- 
mits of a reef which is constructing under simi- 
lar laws. West Florida is low and swamj)y within 
ten or twenty mis. of the coast-line, when it 
rises into a tertiary plateau limestone, the com- 
mencument of the slope, which, slowly ascend- 
ing, reaches the foot of the Appalachians iu Ga. 



Rivers and Lakes. — The peninsula of Florida 
presents some singiilar contrasts in the arrange- 
ment of its inland waters. The principal river 
is the St. Johns. This is a sluggish, tortuous 
stream about 250 miles in length, and from two 
to three miles in width as far up as Lake 
George. Its current is about one mlc. an hour 
and the slope of its bed so little Ihat at Lake 
Monroe, aljout 140 mis. above its mouth, it is but 
tliree feet six inches above the sea-level. Its 
course until within 15 mis. of its mouth is nearly 
due north, contrasting in this respect with the 
other large streams of our country. Its only 
important tributary is the Oklawaha. They both 
rise in a chain of poiids, lakes,and swamps "on tho 
northern limit of tho Everglades. On the Gulf 
coast the Hillsborough R. falls into Tampa B.; 
N. of it is the Withlacooche ; and the Suwannee, 
with its two main branches, drains the N. por- 
tion of the peninsula. West Florida is traversed 
by the Apalachicola, a handsome stream, navi- 
gable for steamboats throughout its whole 
course in this stale. Tlie slight elevation of the 
peninsula has led to the formation of numerous 
lakes and ponds. The largest is Lake Okee 
Chobee, 1,200 sq. mis. in area, but with an aver- 
age depth of but 12 feet. Lake Kissimmee, on 
the river of that name, and Lake George, on the 
St. John, are next in size. Lake Orange is noted 
for the extensive and beautiful wild orange 
groves that ornament its shores. Alligator 
lake in the nortli is remarkable for its varjin^ 
size, almost disappearing in the dry season, and 
becoming several mis. in diameter after the 
summer rains. Florida is famous for the num- 
ber, size, and variety of its spi-ings. The largest 
are the Silver Spring, in Marion co., and the 
Wakulla Spring, in Wakulla co. Each of these 
throws out sufficient water to form a small river. 
There are also many mineral and thermal 
springs, among which, the White Spring. Ham- 
ilton CO.; Orange Spring, Marion co., and Greene 
Cove Spring and the Warm Sulphur Sin-ing, 
l>ake Monroe, with many others on the St. Johns, 
are best known. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of Fla., 
especially of the peninsula, partakes more of 
the tropi"cal character than that of any other 
state. The average summer temperature is S0° 
Fah.; the winter 05°, vising at Key West to 70°. 
In the interior the summer heats are debilitat- 
ing, but on tlie coast they are tempered by the 
sea breeze. Frosts occur in all parts, but very 
rarely ; on the south-eastern coast, wheie the 
cilmate is most equable, once in two or three 
years. In summer the prevailing winds are from 
the E. and S.; in winter, from the N , N. E. and 
N. W. Tho annual rain-fall averages 55 inches. 
Three-fourths of this falls between April and 
October, which is the rainy season. The winter 
is comparatively dry, and is equable and brac- 
ing. Indeed, the winter months in Fla. oft'er 
generally such delightful and healthful weather 
that the state is visited annually by many 
tliousands of northern visitors in search of 
pleasure and health. 

The vegetation of the peninsula is varied. 
The low saw palmetto and tall and graceful 
cabbage palm (both species of chanioerops); tho 
Spanish moss,trailing from tho mighty limbs of 
live oak and cypress ; the mangrove, clothing 
and concealing with its ilense growth the shore 
islands, and t\w. groves of wild orange trees, 
strongly arrest the attention of the visitor from 
the north. The dry sandy tracts arc occupied 
by forests of red pine, while the interior lime- 
stone ridge produces hickory, white oak, gum 
and other hard woods. 

The animal life is abundant. The manatee or 
sea cow was formerly frequent, but is now 
almost extinct. Alligators are numerous. Deer, 
bear, panthers and wild turkeys abound. Par- 
roquets, curlews, and other birds of brilliant 
plumage enrich the woods and waters. The 
mullet, I'iver trout, x>oinpano and other excel-

le.it fish swarm in the rivers and lagoons. The 
green turtle is caught on the sea-shores, and 
the gopher in the interior. Scorpions, centi- 
pedes, stinging insects, and venomous snakes 
are also not rare, but serious accidents from 
them are infrequent. 

Popnlation.~T\\e population of the state was, 
in 1830, 34,730 ; in 1840, 54,477 ; in 1830, 87,455 ; in 
18(50, 140,424, and in 1870, 187,748, including 98,057 
whites, 91,689 colored persons and 27 Indians. 
The natives of the United States consisted of 
91,395 whites and 91,384 colored persons. The 
native population of the state numbered 182,- 
781, the foreign born population 4,9G7, inclusive 
of 1 J55 Cubans, 597 Germans, 399 Englishmen 
and 737 Lrisiimen. Of the population 10 years 
old and over, which numbered 131,119, there 
"were engaged in the useful occupations, 60,703 ; 
and of these were engaged in agriculture, 42,- 
492 ; in professional and personal services, 10,- 
897 ; in trade and transportation, 3,023, and in 
manufactures and mechanical industi-ies, 4,291. 

Agriculture. — Much of the soil of Fla. is not 
Xironiising in appearance. The Everglades and 
Cypress swamps are worthless to the farmer, 
unless they are drained. The ridge of sand and 
decomposod limestone along the southern 
coast from Cape Sable to Indian R. is capable of 
cultivation and offers a good field for the intro- 
duction of tropical plants, especially coffee. Its 
area is estimated at 7,000,000 acres. 

The northern portion of the peninsula con- 
sists of " scrubs " (dry, sterile tracts covered 
with thickets of black-jack, oak and spruce), 
pitie lands and hammocks. The latter are rich 
river bottoms, densely timbered, and often 
yield from 70 to 80 bushels of corn to the acre 
Avith imperfect tillage. The pine lands are of 
deep white sand and are but moderately pro- 
ductive, unless they are thoi-oughly manured. 
The eastern part of Fla. has on the whole less 
fertile lands than the western and middle. 

The chief staples of the state are Indian-corn 
and cotton. Of the former 2,225,056 bush, were 
produced in 1870 ; of the latter, 39,789 bales. The 
other farming productions were : 114,204 bush, 
oats; 10,218 bush. Irish pot's.; 789,456 bush, sweet 
pot's.; 401,687 lbs. rice ; 157,405 lbs. tobacco ; 37,562 
lbs. wool ; 952 hhds. sugar, and 344,339 galls, of 
cane molasses. The live stock had a value of 
$5,212,157, and comprised 11,902 horses, 8,835 mules 
and asses, 61,922 milch cows ; 322,701 other cat- 
tle ; 26,509 sheep, and 158,908 swine. 

The farms had 730,172 acres of improved land, 
1,425,786 acres of woodland, and 211,583 of unim- 
proved land. Their cash value was $9,947,920, 
and the value of all farm productions, including 
additions to stock, etc., $8,909,746. The orchard 
products had a value of $53,639, and the slaugh- 
tered animals of $.520,966. 

Manu/aclures. — The value of the products of 
manufactures according to the last census was 
$4,685,403; of materials consumed therein, $2,- 
330,873 ; of capital invested, $1,679,930. The 
amount of wages paid was $989,930, and the 
number of hands employed, in the 659 manufac- 
tories, 2,749. The principal productions were 
flour and meal ($308,388), and sawed lumber 
($2,23,5,780). 

Commerce and Baih-oads.—The commerce of 
Fla. is limited to the importation of commodi- 
ties required for home consumption, and the 
exportation of its products, mostly lumber, cot- 
ton, sugar, etc. The direct foreign commerce is 
unimportant. The state has seven ports of entry, 
viz.: Fernandina, St. Johns, St. Augustine, Key 
West, St. Marks, Apalachicola and Pen.sacola. 
Their registered, enrolled and licensed vessels 
numbered 244, with 15,780 tons of burden. The 
foreign imports had a value of $267,271, and the 
domestic exports of $1,662,276. 

In 1862 Fla. had 402 rals. of railroads, and in 
1872, 466 mis The principal lines are the Jack- 
sonville, Pensacola & Blobile R. R., connecting 
La Ice City with Chattahoochee,and with branch- 



es to Montieello & St. • Marks, 176 mis. long, and 
the Florida R. R., from Fernandina to Cedar 
Kevs, 152 mis. 

Alucation. — In 1870 Fla. had a total of 377 
schools ; 220 of which were public and had 265 
teachers and 10,132 pupils. The 10 classical, pro- 
fessional and technical schools or academies 
had 32 teachers and ,580 pupils. 

The 23 newspapers published in the state in 
1870 had a circulation of 10,545. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.—TVie last census 
reports the estimated value of real and per- 
sonal property as high as $44,163,6.55, but the as- 
sessed value is $32.480,043 ; of which real estate 
embraced $20,197,601, and personal property $12,- 
283,152. The state taxes in 1870 amounted to 
$248,768 ; the county taxes to, $168,389, and the 
town and city taxes to $79,009. 

The state debt in that year was $3,474,535 ; the 
county debts, $443,041, and the town and city- 
debts, .$454,100. The state debt has since then 
greatly increased, and was estimated in 1S72 at 
$5,307,805, or over $28 per head of the population. 

Government. — The new state constitution was 
adopted in February, 1868. It provides that 
slavery shall not exist in the state ; that there 
shall be no civil or political distinction on ac- 
count of color, and that the state shall ever re- 
main a member of the American Union. The 
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor are chosen 
by the qualified electors and hold their olflces 
for four years. The Secretary of State, Trea- 
surer, Comptroller, Attorney-General, Superin- 
tendent of Public Instructioii, Commissioner of 
Immigration and Adjutant-General are ap- 
pointed by the Governor and confirmed by the 
Senate. 

The members of the Assembly, 53 in number, 
are chosen biennially, and the 24 Senators for a 
terra of four years. The sessions of the Legis- 
lature are annually held on the first Tuesday 
after the first Monday in January and may ex- 
tend to 60 days. Special sessions convened by 
the Governor cannot sit over 20 days. Every 
male of 21 years of age and over, who is a citi- 
zen of the United States, or who shall liave de- 
clared his intention of becoming such, and who 
shall have resided in Fla. for one year and 
in the county for six months, next preceding 
the election at which he shall otfer to vote, shall 
be deemed a qualified elector. 

The judicial power of the state is vested in a 
Supreme Court, Circuit Courts, County Courts 
aud justices of the peace. The Supreme Court 
consists of a Chief Justice and two Associate 
Justices, who hold their oflices for life or during 
good behavior. They are appointed by the 
Governor and confirmed bj' the Senate. The 
Supreme Court holds three sessions annually 
at the state capitol. It has appellate jurisdic- 
tion. There are 7 Circuit Judges, appointed by 
the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, who 
hold their offices for 8 j-ears, and the state is 
divided into 7 judicial districts. The judge 
must reside in the district to which he is as- 
signed. The Circuit Courts have original juris- 
diction in all cases in which the Supreme Court 
has appellate jurisdiction, and they have final 
jurisdiction in all civil cases arising in the 
county courts, in which the amount of con- 
troversy is $100 and more, and in all cases of 
misdemeanor. The county judges are also ap- 
pointed by the Governor and confirmed by 
the Senate, and each judge holds his oflice for 
four years. 

The state capital is Tallahassee. 

Florida is divided into the following 39 coun- 
ties : Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Brevard, Cal- 
houn, Clay, Columbia, Dade, Duval, Escaml)ia, 
Franklin, "Gadsden, Hamilton, Hernando, Hills-

Fresno, co. in Cal., S. part. Pop., 6,336; in 
18'J0, -1,005. It extends from the high crest of 
the Sierra Nevada on the N. E. to the Diablo 
Mts., one of the principal coast ranges. The 
eastern part is mountainous and extremely 
rugged, being occupied by the spurs of the 
Sierra, which are cut by tremendous chasnis 
and canons through wliich the upper course 
of the San Joaquin and its tributaries flow. 
The central part comprises a section of the 
San Joaquin Valley, and is a level plain, dry 
and arid, so as to produce but little grass. 
Here there are no streams during the sum- 
mer ; the winter rains even sometimes fail to 
start the water in the dry beds of the creeks. 
The western part, belonging to the coast- 
range region, is mountainous, and is not only 
supplied with grass and water, but also a 
sparse crowlh of oak and scrubby pine tim- 
ber. The principal stream is the San Joa- 
quin, which rises in the high Sierra, flows at 



first S. W. and then turns to the N. W. The 
Fresno R., Chowchllla R. and Cottonwood Cr. 
are its main tributaries. Kings R. traverses 
the southern part of the co., and during the 
wet season sends off a branch, the Kings River 
Slough, to the San Joaquin. The agricultu- 
ral resources of the co., owing to the remote- 
ness from a market and the exceedingly dry- 
summers, have been but very little devel- 
oped. Large herds of cattle and sheep are 
kept by the inhabitants. Millerton is the co. 
seat. Agr. productions in 1870 : Wheat, 19,- 
765 bush.; rye, 205 bush.; Indian-corn, 3,930 
bush.; Irish pot's, 4,268 bush.; sweet pot's,

GEORGIA, oue of the original 13 states of 
the Union ; is bounded on the N. by Tenn. and 
N. C; on the S. by Fla.; on the E. by the 
Atlantic Ocean a.nd Ijy S. C, from which i*^^ is 
separated by the Savannah II., and on the W. 
by Ala. and Fla. It extends from 30'^ 21' 40" to 35° 
N. lat., and from 80'^ 52' to 85^ 35' 38" W. long. 
The area is 58,000 sq. mis., or 37.120,000 acres. 

Surface.— X level or but slightly undulating 
plain extends inland from the Atlantic Ot»;an, 
varying in width from 100 to 1.50 mis., anil con- 
sisting of alluvial soil. The coast (128 mis. long), 
is indented by numerous soumls and inlets, 
which separate a series of low, sandy islands 
from the main land. These are as follows: 
Tybee Island, between the mouth of the Savan- 
nah R. and Warsaw sound ; Ossabaw Island, be- 
tween Ossabaw and St. Catharine sounds ; St. 



Catharine Island, between the last-named sound 
and Sapelo Sound; Sapelo Island ; St. Simon's 
Island, south ot Altemaha Sound ; Jykill Island, 
south of St Simon's SountI, and Cumberland 
Island, between St. jVndrews and Cumberland 
sounds. Along the coast extends a belt of 
s wamp3,the largest of which is the Okeflnokee iu 
Ware and Clinch cos., and further inland are the 
so-called " Pine Barrens," which extend from 
the lower course of the Savannah R. in a south- 
westerly direction into Ala., and have an aver- 
age breadth of about 20 mis. Beyond tilt) Pino 
Barrens is a broad belt of hilly lands, which i3 
in some parts diversified by isolated ridges and 
peaks, as the Dug Down Mt. trending from Ala. 
through Polk and Paulding cos., and terminate 
ing\vrof the village of Dallas; the Kenesaw 
Mt., near Marietta, Colib co., the summit of 
which affords a view over a wide extent of 
country ; and the Stone or Rock Mt., in DeKalb 
CO., an isolated peak lising abruptly from the 
low plain to a height of 2,220 feet above the sea, 
and devoid of tree or shrub. The mountaiu 
region, which occupies the northern part of the 
state, comprises the southern extremities of 
the Appalachian System. The Blue Ridge ex- 
tends from N. C. through Rabun and Towns 
COS. to the borders of Bartow co., gradually 
diminishing in height from the N. E. to the S. 
"W. Its spurs and extensions branch off in a 
north-westerly direction, as the StansburyMts., 
between the Xotteley and Toccoa Rs.; and the 
Frog Mts., which form the water-shed between, 
the Coosa watee and the Toccoa Rs. The N. W. 
portion of Georgia, lying W. of Oostanaula It. 
and Coj-chattee Cr., is traversed by a series of 
parallel ranges which are separateil from each 
other by narrow valleys. The most eastern of 
these isChattoogataMt.; then follow successive- 
ly .John's Mt., Taylors Ridge, Chickamauga 
Hill, Pigeon JMt., Missionary Ridge, the northern 
portion of the elevateil Lookout Mt., and at last 
the broad heights of Raccoon Mt. Thus Georgia 
presents every variety of surface, from the low 
sandy beach, broad swamps and marshes, level 
plains covered with forests of the long-leaved 
southern pine, to gently undulating hills and 
lofty mountains, abounding in grand and im- 
liressive scenery. 

Rivers. — The Savannah R., which divides Ga. 
from S. C, is formed by the coufluence near 
Andersonville, S. C, of the Tugaloo and Keo- 
wee Rs. The Tugaloo is formed by the Chatuga 
and Tallulah Rs., which rise in the Blue Ridge. 
The Savannah is 450 mis. long, and is navigable 
to Augusta, 230 mis. above its mouth. Its 
largest tributary is Broad R., formed by the 
North and South" Forks. The Ogeechee R. flows 
liarallel with the Savannah, and empties into 
Ossabaw Sound. The Oconee and Ocmnlgee 
Rs. rise in the central portion of the state, and 
form, by their junction near Colquit, the Alta- 
maha, which empties into the sound of the 
S'ame name. Steamboats ascend the Altamaha 
and its source streams as far as Macon and 
Milledgeville. The south-eastern counties of 
Ga. are drained by the Satilla and St. Mary's 
Rs., which are navigable for about 40 mis., and 
the southern counties by the Suwanoochce, Al- 
lapaha and Withlacooclie Rs., which enter Fla. 
and there form the Suwanee R. The Ocloeko- 
nee R. also passes into Fla. The Flint R. risea 
in Clavton co., and after a southerly course nt 
300 mis. joins the Chattahoochee R. near the 
south-western corner of the state, to form the 
Apalachicola. It is navigable as far as Albany, 
Dougherty co. The sources of the Chattahoo- 
chee an; 'in the Blue Ridge, and this large 
stream intersects the state from N. E. to S. W. 
to West Point, whence it flows S., separating Ga. 
from Ala., to its junction with the Flint. The 
Chattahoochee is navigable for large steam- 
boats to Columbus, about 350 mis. from the 
Gulf of Mexico. Northern Ga. is drained by 
the Etowah and Oostanaula Rs., which rise oa

the opposite slopes of tlie Blue Ridge, have a 
westerly course and join at Rome to form the 
Coosa R., one of the source streams of the Ala- 
bama R. The north-western corner of the state 
is drained by several small affluents of the 
Tennessee R., the most important of which are 
East, Middle and West Chickamauga Crs.,which 
latter intersects McLamore's Cove between 
Pigeon Mt. and Missionary Ridge, Cliattanooga 
Cr. and Lookout Cr., which traverses the valley 
between Lookout and Raccoon Mts. A small 
portion of Ga., lying N. of the Blue Ridge, is 
drained by the Toceoa and Xotteley Rs., tribu- 
taries of the Hiawassee R. of Tenn. The 
mountainous portion of Ga. abounds in pictur- 
esque waterfalls. A few mis. from Clarksville, 
Habersham co., are the Toceoa Falls, where the 
Tallulah R. falls over a perpendicular, cocky 
wall of 180 feel in height. The cataracts of 
Tallulah, or Terrora, 12 mis. from Clarksville, 
are very grand and impressive. The stream frets 
and foams through a ravine or glen over 1,000 
feet deep, with overhanging sides, and descends 
over a succession of rocky precipices. The 
Falls of the Estatoiah are formed by an affluent 
creek of the Little Tennessee R , in Rabun Gap 
of the Blue Ridge. N. of tlie v. of Clayton. The 
Fijlls of Amicolah, in Lumpkin co., 17 mis. 
\\ . of Dablonega, have a descent of 400 feet iu 
as many yards. In Monroe co. the Towaliga R., 
a tributary of the Ocmulgee, flows swiftly over 
a rocky ledge and forms two precipitous falls. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The difference in 
height above the sea and in latitude produ- 
ces a striking difference in temperature be- 
tween the noi-thern and southern parts of Ga. 
While in the former, the warmest season is in- 
vigorating and delightful, the summer heat in 
the latter is often very oppi'essive. At Atlanta 
the mean annual temperature is nearly 60° 
Fahr.; the maxiniunr on hottest day, 92° ; and 
the minimum on the coldest day, 10° ; at Sa- 
vannah the thermometer rises in summer about 
100°, and falls in winter below 30°. Ga. is 
abundantlj^ supplied with magnilicent forests. 
These consist, in the mountainous and central 
portions, of deciduous trees ; in the sandy bar- 
rens of the live oak and the valuable southern 
pine, yielding masts and ship timber, and in 
the swamps and marshes of cedar and cypress. 
The vegetation along the coast is semi-tropical. 
Here are found the graceful palmetto, a species 
of palm; the magnolia, laurel, jessamine and 
other evergreens, interspersed with vines and 
creepers of great variety, bearing in the spring 
the most brilliant flowers. 

Population. — The population of Ga. has stead- 
ily increased since the state was organized. In 



xouu, 3uu,ioj ; jiji loou, i,uj/,ioo, aiiu iu lo^u, i,ioi,iua. 
Of the last number there were 638,92(5 whites ; 
545,142 colored persons ; 1 Chinaman, and 40 In- 
dians. With regard to nativity the inhabitants 
ai e classified in the last census as follows : born 
iu the United States, 1,172,9S2, including l,0;«j962 
natives of the state ; born in foreign countries, 
11,127, including 2,760 Germans, 1,088 English- 
men, and 5,093 Irishmen. 

The number of inhabitants of 10 years of age 
and over was, in 1870, 835,929, and of these there 
were 444,078 persons engaged in the useful occu- 
pations. In agriculture were engaged 336,145 
pt^rsons ; in personal and professional services, 
64 0S3; iu trade and transportation, 17,410 ; and 
in manufactures, mining and mechanical occu- 
pations, 27,040. 

Minerals and Mining. — Iron ores of the very 
best quality abound in various parts of the 
st.ate, especially in Cass and Cherokee counties. 
Copper occurs in the northern districts, known 
as the Cherokee country, and numerous mines 
nave been opened ; a few of which only are 
worked with profit. Gold is found in limited 
quantities, and, before the Cal. discovery, was 



considered of sufflcient importance to sup- 
ply a United States Mint at Dahlonega with the 
metal. Mineral and medicinal springs occur 
in various portions of Ga., as the Madison 
Springs, 7 mis. from Danielsville, Madison co.; 
the Warm Springs in Meriwether co., 36 mis. 
from Columbus, and 6 mis. S. of them the Row- 
land Springs ; the Sulphur Springs, mis. N. of 
Gainesville; the Red Sulplmr Springs at the 
foot of Taylor's Ridge in Walker co., and the 
Powder Springs, containing sulphur and mag- 
nesia, iu Cobb CO., 20 mis. from Atlanta. 

Agriculture is by far the most important 
branch of industry in the state, and, as so much 
of the soil is highly productive, will be ths 
great source of wealth for years to come. Cot- 
ton is the principal product. In 1860, 701,840 
bales of 400 lbs. each were harvested ; in 1870, 
473,934 bales. Sea Island cotton, which is the 
most valuable variety on account of its long, 
silky fiber, is grown on the islands near the 
coast ; Upland cotton in the interior. The rice 
crop of 1870 was 22,277,380 lbs., mostly grown in 
Chatham, Mcintosh, Camden and Bryan coun- 
ties. The product of Indian-corn was 17,646,459 
bush.; of spring wheat, 308,890 bush.; of winter 
wheat, 1,818,127 Dush.; of oats, 1,904,601 ; of Irish 
pot's, 197,101 bush.; of sweet pot's, 2,621,562 ; 
of butter, 4,499,592 lbs.; of wool, 846,947 lbs., 
and of tobacco, 288,596 lbs. The live stock had a 
value of $30,156,317, and comprised 81,777 horses, 
87,42(5 mules and asses, 231,310 milch cows, 54,332 
working oxen, 412,261 other cattle, 419,465 sheep 
and 938,566 swine. 

The land in farms had an area of 23,647,941 
acres, of which 6,831,856 acres were improved 
and 12,928,084 were woodland. The cash value 
of farms was $94,559,468, and the estimated value 
of farm productions, including betterments 
and additions to stock, $80,390,228. 

Manufactures. — Before the war Ga. had 
made considerable progress in the establish- 
ment of manufactories, and has resumed it 
since the return of peace. In 1870 there were 
3,836 establishments, and the value of manu- 
factures amounted to $31,196,115 against $16,925,- 
564 in 18(50. The capital invested in 1870 was 
$13,930,125 ; the wages paid, $4,844,508 ; the ma- 
terials consumed, $18,583,731, and the hands 
employed, 17,871. The principal articles pro- 
duced and their value were as follows: Flour 
and meal, $11,202,029; sawed lumber, $4,044,375 
and cotton goodS) $3,648,973 (against $3,027,377 
in 1860). 

Commercial and Railroads. — The domestic 
commerce of Ga. is increasing, but direct 
foreign commerce is inconsiderable. The state 
has three ports of entiy, Savannah, Brunswick 
and St. Mary's. They had, in 1870, 85 vessels (28 
of which were steamers), with a tonnage of 
15,828 ; they importetl goods to the amount of 
$1,383,727, and exported domestic goods to the 
amount of $33,442 520, consisting chiefly of cot- 
ton and ship-building materials. 

The railroad mileage in 1872 was 2,108, show- 
ing a very great increase since 1862, when it was 
1,420. The state has the following 10 railroad 
lines : Atlanta & West Point, 87 nils.; Atlantic 
& Gulf, 347 mis., the main line of which con- 
nects Savannah with Bainbridge ; Central, 
192 mis., connecting Savannah with Macon ; 
Georgia, 232 mis., connecting Augusta with At- 
lanta, Camack with Warrington, Barnett with 
Washington and Union Point with Athens; 
Macon & Augusta, 78 nils.; Macon & Brunswick, 
197 mis.; Maeon & Western, 102 mis., connecting 
Macon with Atlanta ; Rome, 20 mis., connect- 
ing Rome with Kingston; Southwestern, 257

Hudson River, in N. Y., one of the most im- 
portant streams of the continent ; is formed 
by the confluence of two small creeks in the 
Adirondack Mts., Essex co. The course of 
the Hudson in the mountain region is wind- 
ing and irregular ; but at Sandy Hill, Wash- 
ington CO., it assumes a southerly course, 
which it pursues with slight deviations to its 
entrance into Now York B. Its length is 
somewhat over 300 nils.: and below Troy, to 
which city it is navigable, its width variea 
between 300 and 1,000 yards. In its lower 
course it expands into wide basins. Such are 
Ilavei-straw B., above Croton Point, and Tap- 
pan Sea, below that point. The Hudson is la- 
nious for the magnificent scenery on its 
shores, and in this respect fully equals the 
Rhine in Germany. The most beautiful part 
of its course is where it breaks through the 
Highlands above and below West Point; 
mountains of from l,.5O0 to 2,000 ft. in eleva- 
tion here rise precipitously from the bankt. 
The Hudson has but few large tributaries, 
and these all join it from the W., as Saeon- 
dagaR., Mohawk R., Esopus Cr., Rondout Cr., 
with AVallkill, etc. The eastern tributaries 
arc small creeks. The largest steamboats as- 
cend it to Albany, 142 mis. above its mouth at 
New York ; andO mis. higher up, to Troy, 
smaller boats find a sufficient depth of water. 
The Hudson was named after Hendrick Hud- 
son, who first explored it.

Humboldt, co. in Nov., N. W. part. Pop., 1,916. 
The N. W. section is characterized by high 
basaltic table-lands, cut up by deep ravines 
■with high precipitous sides. In many places 
large areas— sometiincs several miles in length 
and breadth— appear to have sunk bodily "be- 
low the general level of the plateau, forming 
valleys with rugged, wall-like boundaries, 
varying from a few hundred to a thousand 
feet in height. The Lake and Granite ranges 
form the W. boundary ; the Rabbit Hole Mts., 
Antelope Mts., Quinn's River Mts., Eugene 
Mts., Sonoma Mts. and Humboldt Mts. are 
the principal ranges, traversing the co. from 
8. to N. The Humboldt R. enters from the 
E. and describes a great curve to the S. 
W. It receives the Little Humboldt from 
the N., which flows through the Paradise 
Valley. The Black Rock Desert, or the Valley 
of the Mud Lakes, is an extensive region, 
covered during the rainy season with alkaline 
water. The Quinn's R. enters the co. from the 
N. and terminates in a sink N. of the Black 
Rock Desert. In the S. E. section of this co. 
there are numerous mining districts, located 
mostly in the Humboldt Mts. and the East 
Range. They produce gold and silver and 
are among the richest of the state. The S. 
W. section consists of barren deserts and 
mountains comjiarativelv destitute of wood, 
water and grass. The Pacific R. R. follows 
the valley of the Humboldt R. Unionville is 
the CO. seat. Agr. productions in 1870 : Wheat,

for a distance ot 250 mis. to 117° 43' W. long., 
where it is joined by the Little Humboldt, and 
then deflects to the S. AV. Near the boundary 
of Humboldt and Clmrchill cos. it expands 
into the Hutnboldt Lake, and a few miles fur- 
ther S. terminates in Humboldt Sinlc. This 
river has aii avei'age width of 40 yards and a 
depth of 4 feet. At ordinary stages it is ford- 
able at many places. There is a narrow belt 
of alluvium along its lianks, exjianding at 
some points into grassy bottoms of consider- 
able extent. The few tributaries it receives 
are but small creeks. Those which join it 
from the N. are Muddy Cr., Grouse Cr. and 
the Little Humboldt R.; those which join it 
from the S. are Huntington Cr. and Roberta 
Cr.

IDAHO, one of the western territories ; is 

bounded on the N. by British Columbia, on the 

S. by Nev. and Utah Ter., on the E. by Mont. 

Ter. and Wyo. Ter., and on the W. by Wash. 

Ter. and Oregon. It extends from 42° to 49° N. 

lat., and from 111° to 117° W. long., and has an 

area of 86,294 sq. mis., or 55,228,160 acres. The 

length from N. to S. is 410 nils.; the width on 

the southern boundary, 385 ; on the northern, 50. 
iSitr/'ace.— Idaho Ter. is a mountainous coun- 



try. The Bitter Root Mts., a chain of the Rocky 
Mountain System, form the north-eastern boun. 
dary, separating the territory from Mont. Ter., 
and their .spurs and extensions occupy a large 
portion of its surface. Such spurs are the Koo^ 
tenay, or Kootanie, Mts. in the N., the Coeur 
d'AU&ne Mts., near the 47th parallel, and the 
L ipway Mts., which intersect Idaho Ter. from 
E. to W., near the Clearwater R. The principal 
Rocky Mountain chain, sweeping in a wide 
curve around the sources and upper streams of 
the Missouri R., separates the southern portion 
of Idaho Ter. from Mont. Ter., and the Teton 
rangCj which latter branches olTfrom the Rocky 
Mts. in a southerly direction, and nearly co- 
incides with the boundary between Idaho 
Ter. and Wyo. Ter. The Bear River Mts., the 
Goose Creek Mts. and other ranges, enter into 
southern Idaho Ter. from Utah Ter. antl Nev., 
while the Salmon River Mts., forming an intri- 
cate sj'stem of numerous ranges, occupy the 
entire central portion of the territory. The 
peaks and crests of nearly all these cliains are 
covered with perpetual snow, feeding numer- 
ous brooks and torrents, Avliich deeply furrow 
their sides. 

Jiivers and Lakes. — A small district in the 
south-eastern corner of Idaho Ter. is drained by 
the Bear R., an affluent of the Great Salt Lake 
of Utah Ter. AVitli this single exception the 
rivers of the territory are tributaries of the 
Columbia R. The Kootanie, or Plat Bow, R., 
waters the extreme north-eastern portion. The 
Clark Fork of the Columbia R. intersects Idaho 
Ter. from E. to W., near the 48th parallel, and 
passes through the beautiful mountain lake 
of Pend d'Oreille. South of this is the Coeur 
d'AUSne Lake, which receives the river of the 
same name and the two forks of the St. Joseph. 
R., and from which emerges the Spokane R. 
The largest stream of Idaho Ter. is the Snake 
R., which rises in a small mountain lake of 
Wyo. Ter., flows 8. through a romantic valley 
between the Wind River and Teton ranges, then 
turns N. W., and near 112° W. long, begins its 
westward course through the plains and prai- 
ries of southern Idaho Ter., which extend be- 
tween the Salmon River Mts. and the chains or 
table-lands near the southern boundary. In 
43° 48' N. lat. it makes a great bend to the north- 
ward, and thence forms the western boundary 
of Idaho Ter. for a distance of 1,50 mis. Passing 
through eastern Wash. Ter. it joins the Colum- 
bia R. N. of Old Fort Walla Walla. Its course 
through the plains of the territory is inter- 
rupted by several cascades, the most famous of 
which are the Shoshone Falls, in long. 114° 20', 
as high as those of Niagara and 600 ft. wide. 
Above these are the American Falls, and below, 
near the mouth of the Malade R., tijc Salmon 
Falls. The southern tributaries of the Snako 
R. are Blackfoot Cr., Port NeufR., Goose Cr., 
Salmon Falls R. and Bruncau R.; the northern, 
Henry's Fork, issuing from Henry Lake near 
the Mont, boundary ; Malade R., draining the 
southern extremitj^ of the Salmon River Mts., 
Boise R., Payette Cr. and Wiser Cr. Salmon 
R. having its sources on the northern slopes of 
those ranges, which derive from it their name, 
flows N. to Fort Lemhi and then W. to its junc- 
tion with the .Snake R. Clearwater R. rises in 
the Bitter Root Mts. and joins the Snake near 
Lewislon. Paloose R. drains the northern 
slopes of the Lapway Mts. and flows westward 
to Its junction with the Snake R. in Wash. Ter.

ILION. 



The Snake R. is navigable from itg mouth as 
far up as Lewiston ; but above this point for 
about 200 mis. to the mouth of Powder R., 
(Oreg.) the stream is shallow and swift, ren- 
dering navigation difficult and often dangei-- 
ous. Above tnc mouth of' Powder R. li"ght 
draft steamers navigate the Snake R. through 
south-western Idaho Ter. during the greater 
part of the year. 

Climate and Vegeiation.—l^ orthern Idaho has 
a cool climate, owing to its high latitude and its 
great elevation above the sea. The rain-fall is 
Bufficicnt for the si^pport of vegetation, and 
the mountain slopes are generally covered with 
magnificent pine forests. The climate of south- 
Mii Idaho is warmer, but also more arid, though 
not so dry, as that of Utah and Nevada. Forests 
are also less abundant than farther N., and 
the fertile valleys of the streams and the ex- 
tensive prairies and plains are mostly covered 
with grasses and herbs. The wild sage brush, 
or Artemisia, covers the more sterile portions 
of these plains. On the whole it may be said, 
Idaho has a salubrious climate ; the air is every- 
where pure, fresh and invigorating. 

Population. — Idaho is as yet but thinly settled, 
the population numbering, in 1870, only 14,999, 
including 10,618 whites, GO colored persons and 
4,274 Chinese. The total number of Indians was 
estimated at 5,631, of whom 5,584 sustained tri- 
bal relations, including 3,284 who were settled 
on reservations, and 2,300 wandering bands. 
The natives of the United States numbered 
7,114 (nearly all whites) ; the foreign-born in- 
habitants, 7,885, including 1,283 Germans, 539 
Englishmen, 986 Irishmen, 114 Scotchmen, 335 
Welshmen, and 4,267 Chinamen. 

The number of persons engaged in all classes 
of occupations was 10,879, viz.: in agricul- 
ture, lj462 ; in professional and personal services, 
1,423 ; in trade and transportation, 721 ; in min- 
ing and mechanical industries, 7,273. 

Mining is as yet the most important occupa- 
tion in the territory. The''AIta California" 
estimates the total gold and silver product for 
1872 at $2,514,090. The Land-offlce Report for 1870 
states the bullion product to have been, during 
the preceding year, $7 000,000, which is jn-obably 
too high. The principal mines are in Idaho 
CO., -which embraces portions of the Salmon 
River Mts., Nez Perces co. and Boise eo. Rich 
silver mines are situated near Ruby City and 
Silver City, in the Owyhee Range. 

Agricitlture. — The arable surface of Idaho fit 
for profltable farming is estimated at 16,925,000 
acres, and the grazing surface at 5,000,000 acres. 
The valleys of the North Malade R., and other 
tributaries of the Snake, contain from 400 to 
500 sq. mis. each of excellent farm land. The 
valleys in Ada co., traversed by Wiser, Fayette 
and other creeks, are also fertile. The reser- 
vation set ajiart for the Shoshone Indians, in 
Oneida co., contains some of the finest land in 
the territory ; yet farming is in its infancy. 
Only 26,603 acres were improved In 1870. The 
value of farms was $492,860; of farm produc- 
tions, including additions to stock, $637,797 ; 
and of all live stock, $520,580. The principal 

Eroducts were as follows : Spring wheat, 73,725 
ush.; winter wheat, 1,925 bush.; rye, 1,756 bush.; 
Indian-corn, 5,750 bush.; oats, 100,119 bush.; bar- 
ley, 72,316 bush.; Irish pot's, 64,534 bush.; wool, 
8,415 lbs.; cheese, 4,464 lbs.; butter, 111,480 lbs.; 
hay, 6,985 tons. The number of horses was 2,151 ; 
of mules, 371 ; ot milch cows, 4,171 ; of working 
oxen, 522 ; of other cattle, 5,763 ; of sheep, 1,021, 
and of swine, 2,316. 

The North Pacific R. R. will intersect the ter- 
ritory along the course of the Salmon R. 

The Manufactures amounted in value, in 1870, 
to $1,047,624, including fiour and meal, $211,010; 
milled quartz, $523,100; boots and shoes, $32,267; 
sawed lumber, $56,850. 

Education. — A public school system was or- 
ganized in Idaho soon after it was erected into 



a territoi-y. The law makes provision for tho 
appointment or election of a State Superinten- 
dent of Public Instruction, and of a County Sit- 
perintendent for each county. In 1870 there 
were 21 public schools with 26 teachers and 1,043 
pupils, and 4 private schools with 7 teachers 
and 160 pupils. Higher institutions of educa- 
tion have not yet been established. 

The six newspapers had, in 1870, a circulation 
of 2,750. 

Wealth and Taxation. — The total assessed 
valtie of real and personal estate in 1870 waa 
$5,292,205 ($1 ,926,565 for the former and $3,365,640 
for the latter) ; but the estimated value was 
$6,.552,681. The total taxation, not national, 
amounted to $174,711, and the public debt to 
$222,621, comprising $217,522 county debt and. 
$4,099 town and city debt. 

Government. — The Governor and Secretary of 
State are appointed by th? President for a term 
of four years ; the Treasurer, Comptroller and 
Superintendent of Public Instruction are elect- 
ed by the people. The legislature comprises 
a coiincil of 10 members, chosen for two years, 
and a House of Representatives of 20 mernbers, 
chosen for one year. 

The Supreme Court consists cf a Chief Justice 
and two Associate Justices, appointed by the 
President for four j'ears. It holds at least one 
session annually at the seat of government. 
The territory is divided into three judicial 
districts, in each of which one of the Supreme 
Court Justices holds a District Court session. 

Idaho is divided into the following counties : 
Ada, Alturas, Boise, Idaho, Kootenay. Lemhi, 
Nez Perces, Oneida, Owyhee and Shosnone,

the territory, and also gold and silver-bear- 
ing quartz veins. Excellent land is found 
along the streams, but the altitude of the 
greater part of the co. is unfavorable to agri- 
culture. Washington is the co. seat. Agr.

IliI^INOIS, one of the central states; is 
bonuded on the N. hy Wis.; on the E. by L.ake 
Michigan and the state of Ind.; on the S. by Ky., 
from which it is separated by the Ohio R., and 
on the W. by Iowa and Mo., from which it is sepa- 
rated by the Mississippi R. It extends from 37° 
3' to 42° 30' N. lat. and from 87° 30' to 91° 40' W. 
long., and lias an area of 55,410 sq. mis., or 35,- 
4GJ,400 acres. 

Siir/ace.—lU. is a plain, gently sloping from the 
M. and K. toward the Mississippi and Ohio Rs. 
The table-land which occupies Wis. extends in- 
to the northern portions of the state. Another 
elevated region Includes Ford and the adjacent 
cos Neitlier of these two portions of the state 
exceed 800 feet in height above the sea, while 
the most southern parts near the confluence of 
the Ohio and Mississippi Rs. are but 350 feet 
high. No mountain chains intersect 111., but it 
is Ijy no means an unbrolvcn plain. The alluvial 
soil! of which the state almost entirely consists, 
easily gives way to the erosive power of flow- 
ing water, and consequently most of the streams 
have cut their beds deeply into the yielding 
grou.id, so that their valleys and flood grounds 
arf. bordered bj'more or less precipitous slopes 
and blufls, which often give the country a 
I'ough and broken aspect. The lead region in 
the north-western corner is the most uneven 
and hilly portion of 111. 

Rivers and Lakes. — 111. is included almost en- 
tirely in the drainage system of the Mississippi, 
■which flows along its western border. Lake 
Micliigan, which washes the N. E. corner, re- 
ceives bnt a few insignificant tributaries, so 
that the St. Lawrence system includes but the 
narrow littoral of the great lake. Rock. R. 
enters the state from Wis., and joins the Missis- 
sippi at Rock Island. The largest stream in- 
tersecting the state is the Illinois R., which is 
formed by the confluence, near Shermanville, 
of the De's Plaines R. and the Kankakee R. It 
flows W. as far as Hennepin, and thence S. S. W. 
Into the Mississippi, 15 mis. above Alton. In 
Woodford and Peoria cos. its bed expands, 
forming Peoria Lake. This stream drains a 
large portion of the state and receives numer- 
ous afliuents ; from the N. and W. are Fox R., 
Spoon R., La Main R., and from the S. and E. 
the V^ermillion R., Mackinaw K., Sangamon R. 
and Macoupin Or. The Kaskaskia R. rises in 
Champaign co., and has a S. S. W. course, join- 
ing the Mississippi near Chester, in Randolph 
CO. The Ohio washes the southern border of 
the state, and its tributary, the Wabash, the 
south-eastern. The Ohio receives no affluent of 
importance in the state ; the Wabash several, 
as the Little Wabash R., the Embarras R. anil 
the Big Vermillion R., which has a south-east- 
erly course, and joins the main stream in Ind. 

The Climate of 111. is marked by great ex- 
tremes. The summers are very warm ; the win- 
ters very cold. The range of temperature, ob- 
served in 1859, at Peoria, was 117° Falir.; and at 
liiley, 123°. The maximum observed at the for- 
mer place was 104° (July) ; the minimum, — 13° 
(Decumber). The summer heat is generally 
however tempered by fresh breezes, so that 
farm labor is not thereby interrupted. The 
mean temperature of the year in 40° lat. is 
about 54° ; of the summer 77°, and of the winter 
33)^°. At Beloit the mean annual temperature 
is 47!^° ; and at Cairo, 58'^'^, thus showing a 
marked ditterence between the northern and 
southern extremities of the state. Southerly 
and south-westerly winds greatly prevail ; dur- 
ing the winter months only, are northerly and 
north-easterly winds in excess. About 245 days 
of the year are clear, and but 120 days rainy or 
cloudy. The climate is on the whole salubrious, 
except in the low and swampy bottom-lands, 



where the settlers are often aflUcted with cliilla 
and fevers. 

Large portions of 111. consist of prairies. The 
"Grand Prairie," between the afliuents of the 
Wabash and Mississippi, extends nearly across 
the state, from Jackson co. to Iroquois co.. 
varying in Avidth from 5 to 20 mis., being inter- 
sected by numerous small wood-land areas, is 
in reality a series of prairies. In other parts 
of the state other prairies are also found. 
They have a rich and very deep soil, consisting 
of alluvium and mould, and as the5'^ produce in 
the spring and early summer a great abundaneo 
of wild flowers of various coloi's, they then pre- 
sent a most beautiful appearance. But in the 
hot season, when the sun has seared and burned 
their covering of flowers and grasses, they are 
by no means attractive. Hi. has enough 
wood-land to supply the home requirements. 
The trees commonly found are various species 
of maple, oak, walnut, hickory, ash and lime 
trees, etc. In the S. and E. yellow poplars and 
birches are abundant, and on the borders of the 
Ohio are found cedars and yellow pines. 

Population. — 111. is one of the most rapidlv- 
growmg states of the Union. The number of 
inliabitants according to the decennial census 
reports has been as follows : 

Inc. in 
per cent. 

1810 12,282 

1820 55,162 3.57 

1830 157,445 185 

1840 476,183 139 

1850 851,470 85 

1860 1,711,951 101 

1870 2,539,891 48 

The white population greatly predominates, 
being, in 1870, 2,511,096. The remainder included 
28,762 colored persons, 15 Chinese and 32 Indians. 
With regard to nativity, the census gives the 
following numbers : Natives of the United 
States; 2,024,693 (including 1,189,503 natives of the 
state; 86,807 of Ind.; 11,384 ot Iowa; 67,702 of Ky.; 
12,588 of Md.; 22,156 of Mass.; 30,872 of Mo.; 8,213 of 
N. H.; 16,336 of N. J.; 133,491 of N. Y.; 163,012 of 
Ohio; 98,614 of Pa.; 47,.514 of Tenn.; 18,515 of Vt.; 
35,742 of Ya. and W. Va.; and 12,771 of Wis.); 
natives of foreign countries, 515,198 ; including 
32,550 of British America, 203,758 Germans, 53,- 
866 Englishmen, 120,162 Irishmen, 1.5,733 Scotch- 
men, 4,180 Dutchmen, 29,979 Swedes, and 8,980 
Swiss. 

In the various useful occupations there were 
engaged 742,015 persons. Of these there were 
in agriculture, 376,441 ; in professional and per- 
sonal services, 151,931 ; in trade and transporta- 
tion, 80,422 ; and in manufactures and mechani- 
cal and mining industries. 133,221. 

31ineral Resources. — Tne productive coal 
measures occupy the portion of 111. lying S. of 
a line drawn from Rock R. in a westerly direc- 
tion to La Salle co., and thence S. E. to the 
state boundary. Their area is estimated at 
45,000 sq. mis., but their depth is not great. The 
coal is bituminous, and contains from 4 to 20 per 
cent, of incombustible materials. In 1870 over 
400 coal mines were in operation, and the pro- 
duct amounted to 2,500,000 tons. Joe Daviess 
CO. belongs to the great lead region of the north, 
em Mississippi. The ore is a silver hoav'rif 
galena, and from this mineral the city ol Gaicna 
derives its name. Copper abounds in northern 
111., on the Peckatonica R. and Plum Cr. Lime, 
zinc, freestone, gypsum and a fine, variagated 
marble are among the other mineral treasures. 
Chalybeate and sulphur springs are found in 
Jefferson co. ; other ineilieinal springs between 
Ottawa and Peru, and salts springs in Jackson, 
Veriuillion and Gallatin cos. 

Agriculture.— W\. surpasses any other state in 
the Union in the fertility of its soil. Some of the 
prairies and bottom-lands are said to be over- 
laid by loam and mould from 25 to 100 feet 
thick. The "American Bottom," on the Missis-

ILLINOIS. 



sippi, between tlie moutlis of Kaskaskia and 
Missonri Rs., contains 288,000 acres of the 
very richest land", and the narrower bottoms of 
other streams are not less fertile. 

The improved land amounted to 19,329,9o-2 
acres in 1870, or more than one-half the total 
area of the state ; the woodland to5,061, 578 acres, 
and the other unimproved land in farms to 
1,491,331 acres. The cash value of farms was $920,- 
606.346 ; the estimated value of farm products, 
including betterments and increase of stock, 
$210,860,585 ; of orchard products, $35,71,789 ; of 
market gardens, $763,992 ; of forest products, 
$1,087,144, and of animals slaughtered, $56,718,944. 
The farms produced 10,133,207 bush, of spring 
wheat ; 19,995,198 bush, of winter wheat ; 2,456,578 
bush, of rye ; 129.921,395 bush, of Indian-corn ; 
42,780,851 bush, of oats ; 2,480.400 bush, of barley ; 
10,944,790 bush, of Irish pot's ; 322,641 bush, of 
sweet pot's; 5,249,274 lbs. of tobacco; 465 bales 
of cotton ; 5,739,249 lbs. of wool ; 111,882 gallons 
of wine ; 1,960,473 gallons of sorghum molasses ; 
36,080,405 lbs. of butter, and 2,747,339 tons of hay. 

The live stock had a value of $149,756,698, arid 
comprised 853,738 horses, 85,075 asses and mules, 
640,321 milch cows, 19,766 working oxen, 1,055,- 
499 other cattle, 1,568,286 sheep, and 2,703,343 
swine. 

Manufactures in 111. have increased of late 
very rapidly. In 1870 there were 12,597 manu- 
facturing establishment against 4,268 in 1860 ; 
and the total value of products had increased 
during the decade from $57,580,887 to $205,620,672. 
The manufacturing industry employed, in 1870, 
2,330 steam-engines with 73,091 borse-power, and 
82,979 hands, and consumed raw materials to the 
amount of $127,600,077. The capital invested 
was $94,368,057, and the amount of wages paid 
was $;31, 100,244. The counties most largely en- 
gaged in manufacturing were : Coles, including 
the city of Chicago, which turned out products 
to the amount of $92,518,742 ; Peoria, with $8,844,- 
493 worth of goods ; then follow Adams, liock 
Island, St. Clair, Kane, McLean and Winnebago. 
The products in detail amounted to the follow- 
ing values : Flour and meal, $43,876,775 ; packed 
pork, $19,818,851 ; agricultural implements, $8,- 
880,390 ; distilled liquors, $7,888,751 ; men's cloth- 
ing, $7,429,363 ; planed lumber, $7,290,465 ; sawed 
lumber, $4,546,769 ; carpentering and building, 
$6,785,264 ; boots and shoes, $4,443,794 ; malt beer, 
$4,154,224, etc. 

Commerce and Communicaiions.— The situation 
of 111. with regard to commerce is highly favor- 
able. The Great Lakes afford an outlet for its 
Ijroduce to the east and the Mississippi and 
Ohio Ks. to the south. A canal, 100 mis. long, 
bas been constructed from Chicago to Peru, 
connecting the waters of Lake Michigan with 
those of the Mississippi. A net work of rail- 
roads connects every portion of the state with 
the great commercial centers of the countrJ^ 
The aggregate mileage of railroads has increas- 
ed from 2,993 in 1862 to 5,904 in 1872. H. V. Poor's 
Kailroad Manual enumerates 15 lines, the most 
important of which are : The Belleville & South- 
ern Illinois li. II., connecting Belleville with 
Duquoin (56 mis.) ; the Chicago & Alton R. R. 
(359 mis.); the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. 
U. (706m.ls.); the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa- 
cific R. R., (544 mis.); the Illinois Central R. R. 
f707 mis.), connecting Cairo with Dunleith and 
Centralia with Chicago ; the Indianapolis, 
Bloomington & AVcstern R. R. (202 mis.), con- 
necting Indianapolis, Ind., with Pekin ; the 
Peoria, P.ekin & Jacksonville R. R. (83*mls.); 
the Rockford, Rock island & St. Louis R. R., 

i319 mis.); the St. Louis, Alton & Terre Haute 
I. R. (219 mis.): the St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre 
Haute R. R. (loS mis.); the Toledo, Peoria & 
Warsaw R. R. (246 mis.), and the Western 
Union R. II. (180 mis.), connecting Racine, Wis., 
with Savannah and Port Byron, 111. 

JEducalion.—lU. is provided with most excel- 
lent schools. In 1870 there were 11,050 public 



schools, with 20,097 teachers (8,791 male and 11,- 
306 female); and 677,623 pupils. Tlie total in- 
come of these schools was $7,810,265, mostly 
raised by taxation and public funds. The 80 
classical, professional and technical schools 
hail 371 teachers and 11,755 pupils, and the 705 
other not public schools, 3,388 teachers and' 78,- 
397 pupils. The six universities had 5(i teachers 
and 1,277 students (including 148 females). 

The State Industrial University, founded by 
act of the legislature in 1867, and located in 
Champaign co., was opened in 1868. It has over 
1,(jOO acres of improved farming lands, 40 acres 
of which have been set apart for gardens, nur- 
series and specimen orchards. The remainder 
is to be used for experimental and stock farais. 
The course of this institution is science, litera- 
ture and arts. Neither the classical nor modern 
languages are taught. The State Normal Uni- 
versity was opened in October, 1857, near the 
city of Bloomington, and is in a prosperous 
condition. 

In 1870 there were published in 111. 439 news- 
papers and periodicals, viz.: 40 dailies, 14 semi 
and tri-weeklies, 328 weeklies, 10 semi-month- 
lies, 56 monthlies and 1 quarterly. Among them 
were 27 German, 4 Swedish, 2 "Danish, 1 Bohe- 
mian and 1 French. Among the daily papers 
the following had the largest circulation : "Chi- 
cago Times," 35,000 ; "Chicago Journal," 15.000 ; 
"Chicago Post," 15,000, and the "Staats Zeit- 
ung," 12,000. Among the weeklies: "Chicago 
Times," 45,000; "Cliicago Advance," 21,000; 
"Chicago Prairie Farmer," 35,000; "Chicago 
Western Rural," 35,000; and among the month- 
lies : "Chicago Little Corporal," 60,000; "Chi- 
cago National Sunday-school Teacher," 40,000. 
The state and school libraries contained 592,711 
volumes, and the Sunday-school libraries 501,273 
volumes. 

Penal, Reformatory and Charitable Instilulions . 
— The State Penitentiary is located at Joliet. A 
board of commissioners, having charge of the 
institution, is appointed by the Governor, and 
this board selects a warden, who has the gen- 
eral management of the prison. The labor of 
the convicts is leased to persons engaged in 
special pursuits ; but the state retains complete 
control of their discipline and government. 
The State Orphan School for juvenile offenders 
is located at Pontiac, and though but recently 
organized, is expected to exercise a salutary 
innuence. The other charitable institutions ol 
the state are mostly located at Jacksonville, 
and comprise the In'stitution for the Deaf and 
Dumb, which receives pupils between 10 and 21 
years of age ; the State Hospital for the Insane, 
which can accommodate 500 patients, and has a 
large and productive farm ; the Institution for 
the Blind ; the Institution for Idiots and Imbe- 
ciles, and the Soldiers' Orphan Home. The erec- 
tion of a State Inebriate Asylum has been re- 
commended to the Legislature by Governor 
John M. Palmer, and is likely to be ordered. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. — The true value of 
real and personal estate in 1870 was $2,121,680,579, 
whereas the assessed value was but $482,899,575, 
of which $348,433,906 were for real est.ate and 
$134,465,669 for personal estate. The total taxa- 
tion, not national, amounted to $21,825,008, of 
which $3,620,681 were state taxes, $5,242,137 coun- 
ty taxes, and $12,96'i,190 town and city taxes. 
The collections on account of state revenue, for 
the two fiscal years from Dec. 1, 1870, to Dec. 1, 
1872, were $3,445,386.86. On Dec. 1st, 1870, the debt 
of the state was $4,890,937 ; during the year 1871 it 
was increased to $5, 140,937, by the issue of $250,000 
bonds to the city of Chicago, in part payment for 
money expended by that city in deepening the 
Illinois & Michigan Canal. On the 9th of Jan., 
1871, $2,983,307 were called in for redemption, and. 
paid in coin. From Dec. 1, 1870, to Dec. 1, 1872, 
the debt was reduced $;j,080,787, and the total oi 
the outstanding debt on the latter day was $2,- 
060,150. The county debt in 1870 amounted to

112,817,922, and the town and city debt to $24,483,- 
010. 

Governmeiit. — The Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer 
and Superintendent of Public Instruction are 
elected by the people for four years. The gen- 
eral election is held on the first Tuesday in No- 
vember. The Senate consists of 51 members, 
elected for 4 years ; the House of Representa- 
tives of 153 members, elected for 2 years. The 
Legislature meets biennially, on the first Mon- 
day in January, in the odd years, 1871, 1873, etc. 
The Governor has the veto power ; but vetoed 
bills become laws if passed in both houses by a 
two tliirds majority. 

^The Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction 
only, and consists of three divisions, corres- 
ponding to three divisions of the state. There 
are 28 Circuit Courts, presided over by as many 
judges. These courts have original jurisdic- 
tion in civil cases of all sums over $100, and con- 
current jurisdiction with tlie justices of in- 
ferior courts of all sums uuder $100 and over 
$20. Each county has a county court, witli 
jurisdiction to the same amount as justices of 
the peace. 

111. is divided intothe following 102 counties :

to afford a uniform depth during all seasons, 
of at least 4 feet, and the canal connecting it 
with Lake Michigan at c:hicago is being en-

INDIANA, one of the states lying in the 
great Mississippi Valley ; is bounded on the N. 
by Lake Michigan and the state of Mich., on the 
E. by Ohio, on the W. by 111., and on the S. by 
Ky., from which' it is separated by the Ohio R. 
It extends from 37° 51' to 41° 4G' N. lat., and from 
85° 48' to SS° 1' W. long. The area is 33,80!) sq. 
mis., or 21,737,760 acres. The greatest length 
from N. to S. is 277 mis. and the greatest width 
from E. to W. 17G mis. 

Ind. has no elevations prominent enough to 
be called mountains. Two-thirds of the state 
is level or but slightly undulating, and the 
reinainder, though broken and rolling, is no- 
where mountainous. The eastern is the highest 
portion of the state and has an average eleva- 
tion of 800 or 900 feet. The surface thence 
gradually descends toward the W. and S. W., 
where it reaches the lowest point at the junc- 
tion of the Wabash and Ohio Rs., which is only 
297 feet above the sea level. Thus it will be 
seen that its inequalities present extremes of 
only 600 feet, a very small ditfercnce considering 
the extensive area of the state. The surface 
is, however, considerably diversified by the 
streams, most of which flow in valleys of ero- 
sion, skirted on both sides by steep slopes. 
Although but the margins of the general sur- 
face of the country, they are, locally, called 
" river hills." In the south-western corner of 
the state the river hills of the Ohio and Wabash 
form an exceedingly rugged and broken coun- 
try. Several miles below the trails of the Ohio, 
in Floyd co., commences a series of low and de- 
tached hills, called " Tlie Knobs," trending N. 
They are from half a mile to somewhat over a 
mile wide, and produce a species of small pines, 
which is found in no other part of the state. 
Their height above the surrounding country 
rarely exceeds 200 feet. 



'^Rivers.— Ind. belongs to the two great drain* 
age systems of the St. Lawrence and Mississippi 
Rs. Tlio latter includes by far the largest part 
of the state, the former only a portion of the 
most northern tier of counties. The water- 
shed between them is nowhere marked by a 
ridge or a prominent elevation of tbe ground ; 
it traverses Steuben, Noble, Kosciusko, St. Jo- 
seph, La Porte, Porter and Lake cos. The St. 
Lawrence system is represented by alHuents of 
Lake Michigan, the largest of which is the St. 
Joseph R. This stream rises in Mich, and be- 
longs to Ind. only with its most southern curve, 
in Elkhart and St. Joseph cos. It receives the 
Pigeon and Elkhart Rs. The only river of Ind. 
which flows directly into Lake Michigan is the 
Calumet. The Ohio R. washes the southern boun- 
dary of the state for a distance of nearlj^lOO mis. 
With the exception of the Wabash, its Ind. afflu- 
ents are small streams, as Laughery Cr., Indian 
Cr., Kentucky Cr., Silver Cr., Great Blue R., Lit- 
tle Blue R., Anderson Cr., Little Pigeon Cr. and 
Pigeon Cr. Wliitewater R. is formed by two 
branches which rise in Randolph co. and pass 
into Ohio, joining the Miami R. The Wabash R. 
rises in Ohio, flows N. W. as far as the vicinity of 
Huntington, Ind., then nearly due W. to beyond 
Logaiisport, and lastly turns to the S .W.and S., 
joining the Ohio at theS. W. corner of the state. 
Its entire course is over 600 mis. long. Formerly 
its commerce amounted to several millions of 
dollars, but its navigability has been mucli im- 
paired by the accumulation of driftwood and 
other obstructions. With proper skill and an 
outlay of considerable sums of money it might 
be so improved that large steamboats could run 
up as far as Wabash Town, in Wabash co. Its 
principal affluents from the N. are Eel R., Tip- 
pecanoe R. and Big Pine Cr. Its affluents from 
the S. are Salamanie R., Mississinewa R. and 
Wild Cat Cr. The White R. is formed by the 
confluence of the East and West Forks, which 
unite at the S. W. corner of Daviess co., and 
with its numerous source streams and tributa- 
ries drains the S. central part of the state. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate is some- 
what milder than that of the same latitudes on 
tlie Atlantic coast. The winters are often very 
cold but of short duration, and heavy snows 
rarelj' cover the ground. The summers' are hot, 
and on the whole salubrious. The ditference in 
temperature between the northern and south- 
ern portions of the state is considerable. At 
Logansport the mean annual temperature is 
nearly.53° Fahr.; the maximum on the warmest 
day 102°, and the minimum on the coldest — 10°. 
Tlie average rain-fall is about 42.8 inches, of 
whieli the winter has 12.3; the spring, lO.."); the 
summer, 12.8, and the fall, 7.2. Fruit trees 
usually begin to bloom in March. 

The extensive forests which formerly cov- 
ered the state are disappearing rapidlj'. They 
consist mostly of deciduous trees, as black wal- 
nut, several species of oak, ash, maple, elm, 
hiclcory, beech, sycamore, poplar and white- 
wood, or tulip, tree. 

I'oi) Illation. — Ind. was admitted into the Union 
as a state in ISIG ; in 1800 it had 5,641 inhabitants ; 
in 1810, 24,520; in 1820, 147,178; in 1830, 343,031 ; in 
1840, 685,866; hi 1850, 988,416 ; in 1860, 1,350^428, and 
in 1870, 1,680,637. The great majority ot tlie in- 
habitants, 1,655,837, are white ; only 24,560 were 
colored, and the Indians numbered 240. 

With regard to nativity, the population is dis- 
tributed as follows : Born in the United States, 
1,530,163, including 1,048,575 natives of the state; 
liorn in foreign countries, 141,474. Of these, 
4,7(i5 were born in British America, 6,362 in 
France, 78,056 in Germany, 9,945 in England, 28,. 
6'.)S in Ireland, 2,.507 in Scotland, 873 iii Holland 
and 523 in Poland. 

The total population of over 10 years of age 
numbered 1,197,930. There were engaged in all 
classes of occupations 459,369; of whom 266,777 
were engaged in agriculture ; 80,018 in profes-

Bional and personal services ; 36,517 in trade i^d 
transportation, and 76,057 in manufactures and 
meclianical and mining industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — Ind. includes a large 
portion of the Illinois coal region, to the extent 
of 7,800 sq. mis. Building materials are found 
extensively, as gray and blue limestone, on the 
Upper AVa'bash, Muscatatuck and Sand Crs. ; 
•white limestone, underlaying the coal-tields and 
cropping out at the surface; in the cos. of Oraw- 
foril, Harrison, Washington, Orange, Lawrence, 
Monroe, Owen and Putnam. It is very soft 
when quarried, but on being exposed to the air 
becomes verj^ hard. An excellent sandstone 
of flue grain, and resembling the Cliemung 
Sandstone of N. Y., or the Portsmouth Free- 
stone of Ohio, is quarried in the eastern parts 
of iiio state. Iron, gypsum, some copper and 

frindstones are the other mineral products of 
ud. 

^STtenZ^ure.— The soil is generally productive, 
while the bottom-lands of the streams are very 
rieli and deep ; especially those of the Ohio and 
the Wabash, with its tributaries, above Terre 
Haute. The uplands between the water-courses, 
though less fertile, yield fair returns to the 
cultivator. 

The principal staple of liul. is Indian-corn, of 
which there \vere produced, in 1870, 51,094,538 
bush., an<l in the foUowingyear 79,'205,000bush.on 
2,218,627 acres. Tlie wheat crop in 1870 was 27,747,- 
222 bush.; but liad fallen olT in 1871 to 19,190,000 
bush. Oats were produced in the two years, re- 
spectlTcly, to the extent of S,590,409and 11,784,000 
bush.; rve, 457,468 and 423,000 bush.; barley, 356,262 
and 352,000 bush.; Irish pot's, 5,399,044 and 2,436,000 
bush.; tobacco, 9,325,392 and 8,316,000 lbs. The 
other products in 1870 were: 150,705 bush, of 
sweet pot's ; 22,915,385 lbs. of butter ; 283,807 lbs. 
of cheese, and 1,076,768 tons of hay. 

The improved land measured 10,104,279 acres, 
or nearly one-half of the entire area of the 
state. The woodland in farms was 7,189,334 
acres, and the other unimproved land, 826,035 
acres. The cash value of farms was $634,804,189, 
and of farming implements and machinerj', 
$9,676,348, The vahie of farm productions, bet- 
terments and additions to stock, was estimated 
at §122,914,302, and of slaughtered animals, $30,- 
246,962. 

Ind. had, in 1870, 497,883 horses, 43,250 mules and 
asses, 393,736 milch* cows, 14,088 Avorking oxen, 
618,360 other cattle, 1,612,680 sheep, and 1,872,230 
hogs. Tlie value of all live stock was §83,776,782. 

The Manufacturing industry is not yet very 
largely developed, but is steadily growing in 
extent. In 1S60 the value of all products was 
$11,840,434; in 1870, $108,617,278. The last census 
reports 11,847 establishments with 2,881 steam- 
engines (of an aggregate of 76,851 horse-power) ; 
58,852 hands, and $.52,052,425 invested capital. 
The raw materials used amounted to $63,135,492, 
and the wages paid .$18,366,780. 

The most important manufactures were: 
Agricultural implements, $2,128,794 ; boots and 
shoes, $2,699,114 ; carriages antl wagons, $3,- 
448,959; freiglit and passi'uger cars, $2,577,726;

including steam-engines and boilers, $3,881,024; 
paclicd pork, $2,780,021, and woollen goods, $4,- 
212,737. 

Commerce and Railroads.— T!\\g commercial ac- 
tivity is greatly facilitated by the navigable 
rivers, the lake (on which the state borders), 
canals, and a railroad net which extends to 
every part, and is still expanding. The Erie & 
Wabash Canal connects the Ohio with the great 
lakes. It seems not to fulfill the great expec- 
tations of its projectors, and is at present used 
by small craft only, as far as La Fayette. The 



AVliitewater Canal extends from Hagerstown to 
Lawrenceburgh, is 75 mis. long, and passes by 
Brooksville, Connersville and Cambridge. Ind. 
had, in 1862, 2,175 mis. of railroad, and ten years 
later, 3,.529. 

The following are the most important lines : 
Chicago. Cincinnati & Louisville K. K., connect- 
ing La Porte with Peru (73 mis.); Cincinnati & 
Indianapolis Junction K. R., connecting Hamil- 
ton, Ohio, with Indianapolis (98 mis.), and Con- 
nersville with New Castle (25 mis.); Cincinnati,

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. — The estimated 
value of real and personal estate in 1870 was 
$1,268,180,54.3, but the assessed value of the sanae 
amoiuited to only $363,455,044 ; $203,334,070 repre- 
senting the personal property ancl $460,120,974 
the real estate. The state taxes were $2,943,078 ; 
county taxes, $4,654,466, and town and eitv taxes 
$3, 193,.577, making the total taxation $1U,791,121. 

The entire indebtedness in saiil vear was $7,- 
818,710, which included $4,167,507 " state debt, 
$1,127,269 county debt, and $2,523,934 town and 
city debt. On the 1st day of Nov., 1872, tho state 
debt was $3,905,906.27, showing a decrease since 
the census was taken of .$261,601. The .school 
fund bonds (now negotiable) are the chief item 
of the state debt, viz. : $3,729,016. 

The receipts of the treasury during the fiscal 
year ended on Oct. 31, 1872, including cash on 
hand from the year iDreceding.were $'5,450, '>58.22, 
and the disbursements $2,687,201.8.5. leaving, on 
Nov. 1,1872, cash in tlie treasury, $76.j,3.-j6.37. 

Education. — Tlie sum expended in ihe state 
for tuition in all schools amounted (1870) to $2,- 
499,511, mostly derived from taxation. 

Ind. has six universities. The State Univer- 
sity at Bloomington, Monroe co., was opened 
in 1824, and comprises a college of arts, litera- 
ature and science, a college oi law, a college of 
civil engineering, a college of military science 
ami a normal school ; "all maniieil," as the re- 
port of the State Superintendent, for 1870, say.s, 
"with competent and able instructors." The 
libraries embrace over 5,000 volumes, and tlie 
philosophical and chemical apparatus is verjf 
complete. The facultj- consists of the presi- 
dent, ten professors and two tutors; the num- 
ber of students was, in 1870, 304. Indiana Asbury 
University, located at Greencastle, I'utnamco., 
is under the control of the Methodists. Wabash 
College, with which a military department is 
connected, is at Crawfordsville; Earlham Col- 
lege, near Riclimond ; the University of Notre 
Dame, at Notre Dame ; Salem College, at Bom-- 
bon ; Fort Wayne College and Concordia Col- 
lege, at Fort Wayne. In 1870 there were in tho 
state 8,871 public schools (including 69 high and 
371 graded schools), with 11,042 teachers and

Indianapolis is situated on an extensive 
plain, which is very productive and in a high 
state of cultivation. The first settlement on 
the spot now occupied by the city was effected 
in 1819, and the next year the seat of govern- 
ment was located there. In 1824 the state ar- 
chives were removed thither from Corj^don, 
and in Jan., 1825, the Legislature coirimenced 
its first session. It was incorporated as a city 
in 1836, and is nov/ one of the most beautiful, 
prosperous and important places W. of the 
Alleghany Mts. 

In 1850 it had 8,091 inhabitants ; in 1860, 18,611, 
and in 1870, 48,244, making it the 27th largest 
city in the Union. The natives of the United 
States numbered 37,587, of whom 34,664 were 
whites and 2,920 colored persons. The foreign- 
born population was 10,657, including 5,286 
Germans, 698 Englishmen, 3,579 Irishmen and 
258 Scotchmen. The number of persons en- 
gaged in all classes of occupations was 18,615, 
of whom 210 wei'e engaged in agriculture, 6,706, 
in personal and professional services, and 6,916 
in manufactures and mechanical industries. 

Indianapolis is regularly laid out, the 
streets crossing each other at right angles, 
excepting four diagonal streets, which diverge 
from a circular area in the center. There are 
about 50 churches in the city, many of whicli 
are substantial and beautiful structures. The 
following are the principal public buildings : 
The State House on Washington st., erected in 
1835, and containing the Governor's rooms, the 
archives, the state library, and the halls ot 
the Assembly: the State Lunatic Asylum, 
founded in 1848, but greatly enlarged since 
the State Institution tor the Blind, foundedin 
1847; the State Institute for the Deaf and 
Dumb, founded in 1848 ; the Reformatory for 
Women and Girls, located east of the city ; the 
United States Arsenal, 1 mle. N. by E. of the 
city limits ; the Northwestern Christian Uni- 
versity f )dd Fellows' Hall, ^^;Cademy of Music, 
Uu „ca States Post-office, containing also the 
chambers for the United States courts ; and 
the Masonic Hall. 

The Union R. R. Depot is an immense struc- 
ture 420 feet long. All trains on the railroads 
centering at Indianapolis start from or arrive 
here. 

The system of public graded schools is ex- 
cellent, and the city is justly famous lor its 
superior educational institutions. 

The manufacturing inteiests- are very ex- 
tensive and constantly increaeing. The pro- 
ducts of industry, as enumerated in the article

Indian Stream, a small tributary of the Con-

Indian Territory is bounded on the N. by 
Kans.and Colo.; on tbe W. bv Tex. and Colo.; on 
the S. by Tex., and on the "E. by Mo. and Ark. 
The Red R. forms part of its southern boundaiy. 
The area is 68,991 .-<q. mis., or 44,154,240 acres. 

Surface. — The territory forms part of that 
vast inclined plain which slopes gradually 
down from the base of the Rocky Mts. to the 
Mississippi R. Several groups and chains of 
mountains rise in the region between the Red 
R. and the Canadian R., as the Washita Mts., 
the Poteau Mts., and the Sans Bois Mts. The 
vallej's of the rivers in the eastern part have 
broad and fertile bottom-lands, which are gen- 
erally bordered by more or less abrupt blulTs, 
separating them from the rolling or undulating 
uplands. The western part of the territory is 
on the whole an arid region, and belongs to 
what was formerly called the " Great American 
Desert." 

Rivers. — The Ai-kansas R. enters the territory 
from the N., intersects it in a south-easterly 
direction, and leaves it near the middle of the 
eastern boundary. Its northern triljutaries are 
the Verdigris and Little Verdigris Rs., the Neo- 
sho R. and Flint Ci. The western tributaries are 
the Little Arkansas R., Black Bear R., Cimari-on, 
or Re<l Fork of the Arkansas, the Canadian B., 
with Rabbit Ear Cr., or North Fork, and Poteau 
R. The Red R., which washes the southern 
border of the territory, receives the North 
Fork, Cedar Cr., with numerous branches 
draining the valleys of the Washita Mts.; Mud- 
dy Cr.; Walnut Cr.; Ouachita R., Baggy R., 
and Kianashi R. 

The Climate of the territory is warm and on 
the Avhole dry. The south-eastern is the hottest 
part, and has a mean annual temperature of 
more than 60°. In the north-western part the 
mean annual temperature is but 55°. The rain- 
fall decreases from 52 inches per annum in the 
south-eastern extremity of the territory to 35 
inches in the central portions, and to less than 
20 inches in the north-western corner. 

The territory is mostly covered with prairies. 
The river courses are fringed with a growth of 
Cottonwood and other deciduous trees. The 
" Cross Timbers," a belt of wood-land varying* 
in width from 5 to 30 nils., extend from the Ar- 
kansas R. in a south-westerly direction for 
moi-e than 500 mis., to the Brazos R., in Tex. 
They separate the arable i-egion in the E. from 
the arid and mostly sterile prairies and plains 
In the W. 

Population.— Ind. Ter. was set apart by the 
federal government as a permanent honie for 
the aboriginal tribes, either indigenous or re- 
moved thither from the eastern part of the 
United States. 

According to the ninth census, thp aggresu..« 
population in 1870 was 68,152, inclu^... s 2,407 
whites, 6,378 colored persons and 59,367 Indians. 
Less than half of the latter, or 24,967, lived on 
reservations and at agencies ; while 34,400 led a 
nomadic existence. The following are the prin- 
cipal tribes or nations who are settlccl on reser- 
vations : the Cherokees, Creeks, Chickasaws, 
Choctaws, S(;necas and Quapaws. They have 
made considerable advances in civilization, 
carry on agriculture and some branches of 
manufacturing, and have schools, and news- 
papers printed in their own language.

IOWA occupies a position between the Mis- 
sissippi R. on the E. and the Missouri 11. on the 
W.. and is unsurpassed for its advantages in 
commerce and industry. It is bounded on the 
y. by Minn., on the S. by Mo., on the E. by 111. 
and Wis., and on the W. by Dak. and Nebr. Its 
length from E. to VV. is about 300 mis., and its 
width from N. to S. 208 mis. It lies between 40° 
25' and 43° 30' N. lat., and 90"^ 18' and 9G° 53' W. 
long. The area is 55,045 sq. mis., or 35,228,800 
acres. 

Surface. — Iowa forms part of a vast plain^ and 
there are no mountains or ranges of hills -svithin 
the state. The only slopes and surface diversi- 
ties are foi-med by the streams, many of which 
liave cut deep valleys into the general level. 
The highest portion of the state is the water- 
shed, dividing tlie rivers which empty into the 
Mississippi R. from those which empty into the 
Missouri R. Tills broad and gently undulating 
water-shed is highest in the X., and gradually 
falls oflf in elevation toward the S. It Is in re- 
ality the southern section of the so-called " Co- 
teau des Prairies," the northern section of 
which extends through Minn. 

The lowest point of the state is the S. E. ex- 
tremity, at Keokuk, where the Des Moines R. 
empties into the Mississippi R. It is 441 ft. above 
the level of the ocean. Burlington is but 42 ft. 
higher, and Davenport 84 ft. 'The most elevat- 
ed section of the state is near Spirit Lake, in 
the N. W. part, which is 1,694 ft. above the sea 
level. Thus the irregularities of the surface 
lie within the limits of 444 and 1,694 ft., a difler- 
ence of but 1,250 ft. 

Rivers and Lakes. —All the rivers of Iowa ai-e 
tributaries of either the Mississippi R. or the 
Missouri R., and have, in accordance with the 
general slopes of the state, south-easterly or 
south-westerly courses. The rivers which join 
the Mississippi are genei-ally larger than those 
Joining the Missouri R., and drain nearly two- 
thirds of tlie area of the state. Foremost 
amongst these is the Des Moines, which rises a 
few miles beyond the border in Minn, and in- 
tersects Iowa from N. W. to S. E., entering into 
the ISIississippi R. near Keokuk. It is formed 
by the East and West branches, which unite in 
Humboldt CO. Tlie valley below Port Dodge has 
a well-marked flood plain or bottom, through 
which the river pursues a winding course. The 
sides are irregular, sloping sometimes ab- 
ruptly, but mostly blending with the uplands. 
The principal tributaries of the Des Moines are 
\ipon its western side. The valleys of the Des 
Moines and its l)ranclies are destined to become 
the seat of extensive manufactories, both in 
consequence of their abundant water-power, 
and the fact that the main valley traverses the 
entire length of the Iowa coal tield. Skunk 11. 
flows along the border of the lower coal held ; 
its course is S. E. Iowa R. rises in Hancock co. 
and flows in Hardin co. across the S. E. corner 
of the Iowa coal fleld. Below its jnnction with 
the Cedar R. its valley is broad aiid flat. BlutTs 
of 100 and 150 ft. in height bonier its southern 
side. The Cedar R., which should really be 
repirded as the main stream, is the principal 
tributary of the Iowa. VVapsipinnicon R. has 
its sources near those of the Cedar, and flows 
parallel with it. Compared with its length. 
It drains but a small area. In consequence of 



this it is not subject to considerable floods, and 
mill sites do not often occur in its course. Ma- 
quoketa R. rises in Fayette co. and has a more 
easterly direction than the rivers to the S. of 
it. The depth of its valley is often 200 ft. be- 
low the general level of the uplands, and has a 
more wild and romantic aspect than the valleys 
of the rivers iust named. Turkey R, rises in 
Howard co. 'That portion of its valley which 
lies in Fayette and Clayton cos. is a deep gorge 
with precipitous sides. Its fall is so great that 
water-power is abundant. Tlie Upper Iowa R. 
rises in Minn, just beyond the border of Iowa, 
and its course is nearly eastward. Its valley Is 
the deepest of an j^ in Iowa, being in its low?r 
portion 400 ft. below the general level of the ui> 
lands. 

The tributaries of the Missouri P., which 
form the western drainage system of lowa, are 
comparatively small and unimportant ; or, if 
large, belong to this state with their upper 
courses only. Chariton and Grand Rs. rise in 
the southern part of Iowa and pass into Mo. 

The Platte R. rises in Union co., but belongs 
mainly to Mo. One Hundred and Two R. is 
represented in Taylor co. bv its East and West 
Forks. The East, Middle and West Nodaway Rs. 
traverse drift valleys, with beautifully sloping 
and undulating sides, and drain one of the 
finest agricultural districts of the state. The 
East and West Nishnabotany Rs. have so 
eroded their vallej's that the drift deposit is ex- 
posed along their entire length. The main 
stream joins the Missouri R. a short distance 
beyond the limits of Iowa. Boyer R., Soldier 
R. and Little Sioux R. flow between tolerably 
high and sloping banks. Rock R. is so named 
from the fact that exposures of quartz rock 
occur along the main branch in Minn. la Iowa 
it is essentially a drift stream, with gently 
sloping banks. The Big Sioux R. rises on the 
Coteau des Prairies, in Dak. Ter., and then 
forms the northern portion of the western 
boundary of Iowa. It joins the Missouri at 
Sioux City. The Missouri R., as far as it forms 
the boundary of this state, is bordered by bluffs. 

The lakes of Iowa are small. They are either 
drift lakes, that is, such as had their origin in 
the depressions left in the surface of the drift 
at the close of the glacial epoch, or they are 
alluvial lakes, which were formed by the action 
of the rivers while cutting out their valleys 
from the general surface of the country. The 
drift lakes are mostlj' located near the head 
waters of the principal streams. Such are 
Spirit and Okoboji lakes in Dickinson co.. Clear 
Lake in Cerro Gordo co., and Storm Lake in 
Buena Vista co. Okoboji Lake has the shape of 
a horse shoe. It receives the outlet of Spirit 
Ijake, and is itself drained by the Little Sioux R. 

Climate. — The climate of Iowa is free from in- 
jurious extremes. Its general character is a sa- 
lubrious dryness. Observations at Iowa City, 
commenced in 1839 and continued to the pres- 
ent time, give a mean annual temperature of 
47.57^ Fahrenheit, which was thus distributed 
through the year : January, 21.75° ; February, 
24.81° ; March, 34.75° ; April, 48.50° ; May, 59.06° ; 
June, 67.92° ; J uly, 72.51°; August, 70.70^ ; Septem- 
ber, 63.37° ; October, 49.58^ ; November, 36.28° ; 
December, 23.55°. The mean temperature oi 
spring was 47.44°; suniiner, 70.37°; autumn, 
44.52°, and winter, 23.37°. Iowa lies within the 
zone of variable winds. W. and N. N. W. winds 
may be considered as predominating, while 3. 
and S. E. winds are least frequent. According 
to the long-continued observations, above men- 
tioned, the wind blew from the N. N. E. 70 days ; 
from the E. S. E. 76 days ; from the S. S. W. 105 
days, and from the W. and N. N. W. lit days; 
or easterly winds prevailed 146 days and w^st- 
erlv winds 219 davs. 

The mean annual fall of rain and snow, re- 
duced to water, is 44.27 inches, which is more 
than might be expected from the inland posi-

don of the state. In 1851 there was the cxtra- 
ox-dinary fall of 74.49 inches : the least fall was 
In 1S54, viz.: 23.35 inches. August is the month 
In which usually the greatest amount of rain 
falls. January is the dryest month. 

Vegetation.— Iowa has throughout a very fer- 
tile soil. Geologists estimate the productive 
area of the state at 95 per cent, of the whole. 
Throe-fourths of the surface, including the up- 
lands, arc open prairies ; the river courses are 
elcirted bv woodland belts, consisting generally 
of maple" birch, buckeye, hickory, walnut, lo 
cust, sycamore, cottonwood, oak, basswood 
End elm. The quantity of timber is suiQcient 
for all economical purposes, in the present state 
of settlemeiit. Attempts to raise forest trees 
on the prairies have been eminently successful, 
and it is asserted that by this means timber is 
now growing faster in Iowa than the consump- 
tion demands. If the annual burning of the 
prairies were prohibited, forests would probably 
soon spontaneously spring up and grow thrift- 
ily on most of the prairie region. 

Pojntlation.—Io'W'd. is rapidly increasing in 
population and wealth. In 1840 it had 43,112 in- 
habitants ; in 1850, 192,-214 ; in 18G0, 074,963, and in 
1870, 1,194,020. The whites numbered in the lat- 
ter year, 1,188,207 ; the colored people, 5,762, and 
the Indians, 348, of whom about 300 sustained 
tribal relations. The natives of the United 
States largelv exceed the foreign population, 
numbering 989,328, of whom 428,020 were natives 
of the state; 64,083 of Ind.; 14,180 of Kv.; 5,943 of 
Me.; 5,972 of Md.; 8.929of Mass.; 8,918 of Mich.; 2,683 
of Minn.; 13,831 of Mo.; 5,0.57 of N. H.; 5,088 of N. .1.;

Tenn.; 12,204 of Vt.; 19,5,58 of Va. and W. Va., and 
24,319 of Wis. The foreign-born population num- 
bered 204,692 ; of whom 17,907 were natives of 
British America ; 2,827 of Denmark ; 3,130 of 
France ; 06,100 of Germany ; 16,600 of England ; 
40,124 of Ireland: 5,248 of Scotland; 1,967 of 
Wales ; 17 500 of Norway ; 10,796 of Sweden, and 
3,937 of Switzerland. Thus is the population of 
tills state in the true sense of the word cosmo- 
politan. 

Occupations.— 0£ the 837,959 inhabitants of 
Iowa of 10 years of age and over, 344,270, or 
nearly one-half, were engaged in all classes of 
useful occupations, to wit : 210,263 in farming ; 
58,484 in professional and personal services ; 
28,210 in trade and transportation, and 47,319 in 
manufacturing, mining and the mechanical 
trades. 

Agriculture. — No state in the Union offers 
greater advantages to the farmer and stock- 
breeder. Thv soil of the prairies, whether level 
or rolling, possesses the greatest fertility ; and 
the bottom-lands along the water-courses are 
truly inexhaustible. The cereals yield most 
abundant crops ; vegetables of every descrii^- 
tion thrive well, and fruit or forest trees are 
successfully cultivated, and grow with remark- 
able rapidity. 

The yield per acre, in 1871, was 42i^ bush, of 
corn, 10 4-5 bush, of wheat, 20 bush, of rye, 41 
bush, of oats, 29i^ bush, of barley, 131 bush, of 
pot's, 750 lbs. of tobacco and 1 3-5 tons of hay. 
According to the census of 1870 there were pro- 
duced 28,708,312 bush, spring wheat, 727,.380 bush, 
winter wheat, 505,807 bush, rye, 68,935.005 bush. 
Indian-corn, 21,005,142 bush, oats, 1.900,779 bush, 
barley, 5,914,620 bush. Irish pot's,' 34,292 bush, 
sweet pot's, 71,792 lbs. tobacco, 2.967,043 lbs. 
MOOl, 27,512,179 lbs. butter, 1,087,741 lbs. cheese, 
1,777.339 tons hay and .37,518 gallons wine. 

The number of acres in farms was 15,541,793, 
of which 9,390,467 were improved (or 26 per cent. 
of the area of the state), and 2,5-24,793 were 
woodland. The cash value of farms was $;392,- 
602,441, and of farming implements and machin- 
ery, $20,.509,5S2 ; and the estimated value of all 
farm productions, including betterments and 
additions to stock, was $114,386,441 ; of orchard 
products, $1,075,109. 



Iowa had 433,642 horses, 25,485 mules and asses 
369,811 milch cows, 22,058 worlcing oxen, 614,366 
other cattle, 855,493 sheep and 1,3.53,908 swine. 
The total value of all live stock was $82,987,133, 
and of animals slaughtered or sold for slaugh- 
ter, $25,781,223. 

3Iinerals and Mining.— The mineral resources 
of Iowa are extensive and important, includ- 
ing coal, iron, lead, copper, zinc, and various 
kinds of lime and free stones, well adapted 
for building purposes. The coal fields are 
situated in the central and southern por- 
tions of the state, and belong to the great Mis- 
souri and Iowa coal region, which covers in 
this state an area estimated at 25,000 sq. mis. 
The most productive coal mines are in the val- 
ley of the Des Moines B. and its tributaries, ex- 
tending from Lee co. to the northern boundary 
of Webster co. Five mis. S. of Fort Dodge a 
coal vein of 7 feet in thickness was recently 
discovered. The coal of Iowa is exclusively 
bituminous, and noted for its purity, leaving 
but a small residuum of ashes. The product 
mined was, in 1805, 1,000,582 bush.; in 1800, 2,483,- 
010 bush.; in 1870 upward of 3,000,000 bush., or 
120,000 tons, and at present nearly approaches 
200,000 tons. 

The lead-bearing veins are in the limestone 
formation of the Turkey River Valley, and ex- 
tend to Dubuque, on the Mississippi R., which 
is the center of the lead-mining industry, and 
owes to it its rapid growth and importance. The 
value of the product exceeds $300,000 per an- 
num. Some silver is occasionally found with 
the copper ores. Extensive deposits of peat 
are found in Franklin, Wright, Cerro Gordo, 
Hancock, Winnebago, Worth, Kossuth, Musca- 
tine, Linn and Clinton cos., and are of consid- 
erable importance, as they lie beyond the coal re- 
gion, and yield excellentfuel. Marble quarries 
are m Tama and Marshall cos., and building 
stones crop out in nearly all the river valleys E. 
of the Des Moines. In Jladison and Cass cos. are 
the most extensive quarries. Plastic clay, fit 
for pottery, is found in nearly all parts of the 
state. 

The Manufacturing Industry progresses rap- 
idly. In 1860 the value of the im'oducts was $13,- 
971,325; in 1870, $46,534,322, showing an increase 
of 233 per cent. In the former year there 
were 1,939 industrial establishments, with an 
invested capital of $7,247,130 ; in the latter, 6,566 
establishments, with a capital of $22,420,183, and 
the raw materials consumed amounted to $27,- 
682,096 ; the wages paid to $6,893,292, and the 899 
steam-engines had 25,298 horse-power. The 
principal products, as reported in the last cen- 
sus, are as follows : Flour and meal, $15,635,345 ; 
sawed lumber, $5,794,285 ; planed lumber, $867,- 
415 ; boots and shoes, $1,218,480 ; agricultural 
implements, $829,905 ; carriages ami wagons, 
$1,9,52,143 ; iron castings, $132,780 ; stoves and 
hollow ware, $100,000 ; turniture, $375,566 ; men's 
clothing, $tK)5,136 ; malt liquor, $902,848 ; packed 
pork, $1,190,400; saddlery and harness, $1,110,852, 
and woollen goods, $1,501,341. 

Commerce and Railroads.— Wit\\ its two mag- 
nificent border-streams, the Missouri and Mis- 
sissippi, and other navigable rivers,and a nearly 
perfect railroad system, Iowa has commercial 
facilities of the first order, readily efl'ecting an 
exchange of its surplus products of grain, meat, 
etc., for clothing, groceries, and luxuries which 
are not produced within its borders. The goods 
moved on her commercial highway may be es- 
timated at $.500,000,000 in value. In 1802 the rail- 
road mileage was 731 ; and ten years later, 3,160 ; 
while the network of iron roads is being 
rapidly extended. The principal railroads are: 
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Minnesota R. R., 
connecting Burlington with Flymcuth (229rals.) 
and Plvmouth with Austin (32 mis.); Burling- 
ton & Missouri River R. R. (349 mis.); Cedar 
Falls & Minnesota R. R., running from Water- 
loo to the Minn, state-line (75>^ mis.); Cedar

Weullh, Taxation and Debt. — The assessed 
V'llue of real estate In 1870 was $226,610,638, and 
O- personal property, $75,904,780 ; or both togeth- 
er, $302,518,418. The true value of both was $717,- 
64-1,750, against $247,3,38,265 in 1860, and $23,714,638 
in 1850. The not national taxation was $9,055,614, 
of which $832,918 were state taxes, $3,052,931 
county taxes, and $5,169,765 town and city taxes. 
The indebtedness included $3,775,606 incurred 
by towns and cities, .$3,732,929 by counties, and 
only $534,498 by the state ($300,000 in war and de- 
fense bonds, and the remainder in not trans- 
ferable bonds issued to the .school-fund). 

During the j'ear ended Nov. 1, 1871, the total 
amount of receipts by the State Treasurer was 
$2,509,065, and of expenditures, $2,413,096, leaving 
a balance of $9.5,969 in the treasury. 

EducaUo7i.— The number of school districts 
was, in 1S71, 1,594, an increase of 132 in the two 
preceding years. There were 7,841 public 
schools, against 7,009 two years before. The 
number of youth within the school ages was 
461,258 of whom 342,440 or H% per cent, were en- 
rolled during the year, and the average attend- 
ance was 211,726, or nearly 46 per cent. The 
Governor, in his message of Jan., 1872, "regards 
the constant increase of the number of those 
enjoying school-privileges as a strong evidence 
that" the common schools are continually en- 
larging their usefulness, and will graduallj' 
bring all the youth of the state within the scope 
of their inestimable privileges." The value of 
school-houses and apparatus was $5,916,490, an 
inci-ease during two years of $1,541,947. A sys- 
tem of normal scho'ols at convenient points 
throughout the state, for the thorough training 
of teachers, was urgently recommended. The 
last census reports public schools as number- 
ing 7,322 with 8,860 teachers and 205,923 pupils. 
There were 21 colleges, 34 academies, 6 profes- 
sional and 10 technical schools in the state. 

The State University at Iowa City has an en- 
dowment in land and other property of $195,582, 
and worthily occupies its place at the head of 
the school system of the state. It had, in 1870, 
25 teachers and 4.55 students, including 178 
females, and embraced academical, law, medical 
and normal departments. The Agricultural Col- 
lege at Ames, Storey co., has an imposing build- 
ing, located on a flue farm of 648 acres, and con- 
tains alibrary, museum, cabinet of minerals.etc. 

Charitable and Penal Inslitution.s. — The State 
Reform School, in Lee co., near Salem, Henry 
CO., had 7 officers and teachers, and 86 inmates. 
The Institution for the Blind at Council ISlulTs 
is in a flourishing condition, and offers every 
facilitj' alforded by similar institutions in the 
country. The institution for the education of 
the blind at Vinton has magnificent buildings 
and a farm of 40 acres. The number of teachers 
and officers in 1870 was 25, and of pui)ils, 101. 
Hospitals for the insane are located at Mount 
I'leasant and Independence. The state has 
three homes for soldiers' orphans, one at Glen- 
wood, another at Cedar Falls, and th.e last at 
Davenport. 

The State Penitentiary, located at Fort Madi- 
son, is almost self-sustaining ; and had, in 1871, 
263 convicts, an increase of 01 in two years. 



The State Historical Society enjoys an ap- 
propriation of $500 per annum, and collects, 
preserves and publishes the records of the set- 
tlements of Iowa, and the deeds of its pioneers. 
The "Annals of Iowa," an excellent quarterly, 
is issued by the society. 

Government. — The Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor and Superintendent of Public Instruc- 
tion are elected in each odd year for a term of 
two years. The Register of the Land Office, 
Secretary of State, Auditor and Treasurer are 
elected in each even year, for the same length 
of service. The Senators, 49 in number, are 
chosen for four years; one-half being elected 
biennially. The "House of Representatives con- 
sists of 200 members, who are elected for two 
years. Every male citizen who has been a 
resident of the state for six months, and of the 
county, in which he offers to vote, sixty days, 
is a legal elector. 

The judicial power is vested in a supreme 
court, 12 district courts, " and such courts as 
the general assembly may establish." The Su- 
preme Court has appellate jurisdiction only, 
and consists of four judges, elected by the peo- 
ple for six years. It exercises supervisory con- 
trol over the inferior judicial tribunals. The 
district courts have original jurisdiction in 
civil and criminal cases, in chancery and at 
common law. In 1868 the assembly established 
24 circuits, in each of which a circuit judge is 
elected for four years.

KANSAS, one of the western states; is 
bounded on the N. by Nebr., on the W. by Colo. 
Ter., on the S. by Ind. Ter. and on the E. by Mo., 
from which it is partly separated by the Mis- 
souri R. It extends from 94'^ 3S' to 102'-' W. long., 
and from 37° to 40° N. lat., and has an area ot 
81,318 sq. mis., or 52,043,520 acres. 

jSitJ/ace.— Kansas occupies a portion of that 
extensive region which gently slopes down 
from the base of the Rocky Mis. to the banks 
of the Mississippi R. It has no mountains, yet 
its surface is far from being a monolouous level. 
Almost everywhere we meet gentle undvila- 
tions, or low hills, divided by depressed valleys, 
■which the water-courses have dug into the 
yielding soil ; and there is a groat dilference in 
the elevation above the sea between the eastern 
and western portions of the slate. The follow- 
ing table exhibits this gradual but steady rise 
of the ground from E. to W., along the line of 
the Kansas Pacific R. R., which intersects the 
Btate in this direction :

This table indicates a range in heiglit betweea 
tlie extremes of nearly 3,000 feet, and a general 
fall of the ground from W. to E. of nearly 8 feet 
per mile, the length of the state being 391}^ mis. 

Hivers. — The rivers of Kans., without excep- 
tion, discharge tlieir waters into the Mississippi, 
either directly or indirectly, and in conformity 
witli the slope of the land have courses of a 
general easterly direction. The Missouri R. 
washes the north-eastern boundary, and has 
in this short course some broad and very pro- 
ductive bottoms. Near the Mo. state hue it 
receives the Kansas R., which rises on the 
" Plains " of Colo. Ter., and intersects the state 
to which it has given its name, through its en- 
tire length. The principal tributaries join the 
Kansas on tlie N., as the Saline R., which emp- 
ties near Salina ; the Solomon R.; the Republi- 
can Fork, which rises in Colo. Ter., flows 
through southern Nebr., and turning S. E. joins 
the Kansas near Fort Riley, and the Big Blue 
R., which rises in Nebr. The Arkansas R., com- 
ing from Colo. Ter., crosses the western limit 
of Kans., turns to the N. in Kiowa co., and, de- 
scribing a wide curve, leaves Kans. in Cowley 
CO. Its tributary, the Neosho R., intersects the 
south-eastern cos., flowing from N. to S., and the 
Cimarron R. traverses the south-western part 
of the state. 

Climate and Vegetation. — Kans. has a mild and 
salubrious climate. At Burlingame, Osage co., 
the observations made during the year 18.59 in- 
dicated a mean annual temperature of 52.90°, 
and a range between extremes of 106°, the 
mercury rising on the hottest dav to 100° and 
falling on the coldest to— 6°. The monthly 
means were as follows : January, 32.75° ; Febru- 
ary, 33.08° ; March, 45.25° ; April, 49.12° ; May, 
64.90° ; June, 72.45°: July, 77.68° ; August, 74° ; 
September, 66°; October, 53.75; November, 
44.85°, and December, 20.95°. The rain-fall was 
about 31 Indies at Burlingame and 36 1-5 at Ne- 
oslio Falls. The eastern part of the state has a 
much larger quantity of moisture than the 
western, and hence its vegetation is more rank 
and varied. The forests cover the ricli bottom- 
lands of the streams, and consist of the decidu- 
ous trees common in these latitudes. Tlie up- 
lands in the E. are rich prairies, composed of 
tall grasses and herbs. In the W. they are cov- 
ered with grama and buffalo grasse8,w liich have 
a short curly growth, with dense fibrous roots, 
deeply penetrating into the dry but fertile soil. 
Near the western state line tlie valleys are often 
covered with the white saline efllorescence, so 
characteristic of arid regions. On the upper 
alluvial portions of the valleys are fouiul dense 
growths of the "Sarcolatis," the wild sago 
(" Artemisia"), and the greasewood (" Obi- 
one"). 

Fopulalion.—Ka.na.\ia,d,in 1860,107,200 inhabi- 
tants, and in 1870, 364,399, an increase during the 
last census decade of 147 per cent. The poi)Ula- 
tion in 1870 comprised 346,377 whites, 17,108 eol- 
ored persons and 9,814 Indians, of whom 911 
were out of trilxil relations, about 5,900 were 
living on reservations and agencies, and about 
3,000 ied a nomatlic life. The great majority ot 
the inhabitants, viz.: 316,007, \vere natives of 
the United States, includin;' 63,351 natives of 
the state, 1,402 natives of Couu., 35,5jS ot 111.,

many, 6,161 of England, 10,950 of Ireland, 1,531 
of Scotland, 1,021 of "Wales and 588 of Sweden 
and Norway. 

The total population of 10 years and more of 
age numbered 258,051, of whom 73,228 were en- 
gaged in agriculture, 20,736 in professional and 
personal services, 11,762 in trade and transpor- 
tation, and 18,126 in manufacturing, mining and 
mechanical trades, making an aggregate of per- 
sons pursuing useful occupations of 123,852. 

Mines and Minerals. — Kans. has no precious 
metals, nor are its mineral treasures as great 
as those of some other divisions of the country. 
But coal is found in quantities sufficient for all 
demands, one fleld being situated at Leaven- 
worth and another occupying the cos. of Linn, 
Bourbon and Cherokee. 

Extensive beds of salt occur in the valleys of 
the Republican, Solomon and Saline Rs., in the 
northern part of the state, and in the southern 
part, near the state line, there exists a bed 30 
mis. wide and 60 mis. long. Iron, gypsum, alum 
and petroleum areainong the other minerals of 
large promise. The building materials of Kans. 
are famous throughout the west. "Leaven- 
worth marble," " Junction City marble," " Pe- 
ruvian limestone," and a brown ferruginous 
sandstone are the most valuable. 

AgricuUure.—AQYicwXtvLvti is by far the most 
important source of wealth in Kans. The east- 
ern half of the state is well adapted to farming, 
the western to grazing. The soil of the former 
is deep and rich, in the forest-covered bottoms 
as well as on the upland prairies. The culture 
of cotton has been successfully tried on a small 
scale iu the south-eastern portion of the state, 
and promises handsome returns to those who 
will engage in it. Mulberry trees are indigenous 
throughout the state, and although but little 
has j^et been done to test the success of silk- 
growing, this important branch of industry 
will probably succeed here if anywhere in the 
country. It is also believed that the climate 
and soil of Kans. are favorable to the culture 
of tea. 

No portion of the United States is better fitted 
for wool-growing than central and western 
Kans., which will probably be settled by per- 
sons making this and stock raising their sole 
business. 

According to the census there were, in 1870, 
1,971,003 acres of improved land, 635,419 of wood- 
land, and 3,050,457 of unimproved land in the 
farms of Kans. The total value of farms was 
$90,327,040; of agricultural implements, $4,053,- 
312, and of farm productions, including addi- 
tions to stock, $27,630,651. The value of orchard 
products was $158,046, and of market gardens 
$129,013. The products were : Spring wheat, 
1,314,522 bush.; winter wheat, 1,076,676 bush.; 
rye, 85,207 bush.; Indian-corn, 17,025,525 bush.; 
oats, 4,097,925 bush.; barley, 98,405 bush.; Irish 
pot's, 2,342,988 bush.; sweet pot's, 49,5.33 bush.; 
cotton, 7 bales ; tobacco, 33,241 lbs.; wool, 335,005 
lbs.; butter, 5,022,758 lbs.; wine, 14.889 gallons ; 
sorgum molasses, 449,409 gallons, and hay, 490,289 
tons. The value of live stock was $23,173,185, 
and of slaughtered animals, $4,156,386. Kans. 
had 117,786 horses, 11,786 mules and asses, 123,440 
milch cows, 20,774 working oxen, 229,753 other 
cattle, 109,088 sheep and 206,587 swine. 

Manufactures.— Ii3,ns. possesses abundant fa- 
cilities for manufacturing in the ample water- 
power of its btreams and its vast coal beds. 
There were in the state, according to the cen- 
sus report, 1,477 establishments, employing 254 
steam-eugmes with 6,300 horse-power, 6,844 hands 



and a capital of $4,319,060. The value of pro« 
ducts was $11,775,833, and of raw materials con. 
sumed, $6,112,163. The wages paid amounted to 
$2;377,511. The principal articles manufactured, 
with their value, were as follows : Flour and 
meal, $2,938,215 ; malt liquors, $236,190 ; boots and 
shoes, $303,187; carriages and wagons, $236,956; 
furniture, $285,181 ; iron castings, $326,420 ; sad- 
dlery and harness, $425,928 ; tin, copper and 
sheet-iron ware, $356,003; tobacco and cigars, 
$223,800, and woollen goods, $141,750. 

A French colony in Franklin, 16 mis. S. W. of 
Ottawa, have commenced to manufacture silk 
velvet. They are reported to have one loom in 
operation, turning out 280 yards of fine vel'vet 
per da5^ 

Commerce.— The total commerce of Kans. is, in 
round numbers, $114,000,000 ; $30,000,000 of whicb. 
is represented by the transactions of Leaven- 
worth. The ti'ade in Texas cattle has become a 
very important branch of business. Largo 
herds are annually brought by Texas drovers 
to points along the Pacific R. R. Abiline is the 
principal cattle depot, and in 1870 50,000 head 
were sent east from this place, while in 1871 the 
number of cattle sold or remaining on hand 
amounted to about 150,000 head. Junction City, 
Salina, Ellsworth and some places in the south- 
ern portion of the state are also engaged in this 
business. The natural commercial facilities of 
the state are limited, as the Missouri, washing 
the N. E. border, is the only navigable stream, 
but railroads have been built very extensively, 
and the construction of new Imes is being 
pushed with great vigor. 

In 1864 Kans. had but 40 mis. of railroad ; in 
1866, 240 mis.; in 1868, 648 mis.; in 1870, 1,501 mis., 
and in 1872, 1,760 mis. The following are the 
principal lines : Kansas Pacific R. R., from 
Kansas City, Mo., to Denver, Colo., intersecting 
the state from E. to W. (638^ mis. ) ; a branch 
from Lawrence to Leavenworth is 34 mis. long : 
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. R., from Atchi- 
son to State Line, 450 mis. of which are in opera- 
tion, 385 mis. from Atchison to Dodge City, and 
a branch from Newton to Wichita (27 mis.); 
Leavenworth, Atchison & Northwestern R. R., 
(21J<^mls.); Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galves- 
ton, from Leavenworth to Parker, on the south- 
ern state line (1433/^ mis.) ; Missouri, Kansas & 
Texas R. R., from Junction City to Preston, 
Tex. (432 mis.), and a line from Sedalia, Mo., to 
Parsons (160 mis.) ; Missouri River, Fort Scott 
& Gulf R. R., from Kansas City, Mo., to Baxter 
on the state line (161 mis.). 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.—T\\e total estimat- 
ed value of real and personal estate in 1870 was 
$188,892,014 ; the assessed value of the same $92,- 
125,861, of which sura $65,499,364 were for real 
estate, and $26,626,496 for personal property. 
The state taxes were $809,608 ; the co. taxes, 
$1,160,138, and the city and town taxes, .$704,246. 
The indebtedness of the state was $1,593,306 ; of 
the COS., $3,736,901, and of the cities and towns, 
$1,112,075. 

At the Close of the year 1872 the total liabili- 
ties of Kans. amounted to $1,547,248, and the re- 
sources of all kinds $1,259,503 ; while the receipts 
amounted to $1,089,249, and the disbursements 
to $954,193,leaving a balance in the treasury of 
$138,327. 

Education, etc. — Kans. has five universities. 
The State University at Lawrence was organ- 
ized in 1864, and embraces a collegiate and a 
preparatory course. It has a splendid building, 
on a hill called Mt. Oread, and is admirably 
provided with all the appliances required by 
the most advanced methods of instruction. 
Professorships of drawing and practical chem- 
istry have lately been added to the faculty. 
The library and the collection of apparatus are 
increasing rapidly. In 1870 it had 9 professors 
and 213 students. The Ottawa University was 
organized in 1860 by the Baptist church of tha 
state ; Lane University, at Lecompton, in 1859

for the Blind at Wyandotte City, and the Asy- 
lum for the Deaf aiid Dumb at Olathe. 

The press of Kans. comprised, in 1870, 97 
newspapers, with a circulation of 9(;,803. Twelve 
of these, with a circulation of 17,570, were dailies. 
The circulation of the following papers exceed- 
ed 5,000 in 1871: "Kansas Tribune," published 
atL<awrence; "Times," at Leavenworih ; "The 
Kansas Farmer," semi-monthly, at Leaven- 
worth, and the " Kansas Magazine, " monthly, 
at Topeka.

KEKTITCKY is boun"ded on the K. by Ohio, 
Ind. and 111., on the W. by Mo., on the S. by 
Tenn., and on the E. by Va. and W. Va. The 
Ohio washes its northern border, the Big Sandy 
R. its eastern and the Mississippi its western. 
•whUe the crest of the Cumberland Mts. marks 
its south-eastern limit, separating it froui Va. 
The area is 37,480 sq. mis., or 23,987,200 acres. 

Surface.— The eastern is the highest portion 
of Ky., and is occupied by the western slopes 
and outlying ridges of the Cuinljerland Mts. 
These ridges either trend parallel with the 
I)rincipal chain, like the Pine Mts., the Ken- 
tucky Ridge and others, or they branch off from 
the Cumberlands at right .angles, trending N. 
W. and, like the Owsley Mts., separating the 
headwaters of several important tributaries of 
the Ohio R. Neither the Cumberlands or their 
branches attain fully the height of 3,000 feet 
above the level of the sea, yet the entire region 
occupied by them is extremely broken, and 
the streams traverse narrow and deeply de- 
pressed valleys between precipitous and dense- 
ly timbered heights. A line from the point 
where the Big Fork of the Cumberland R. 
crosses the southern line of the state to the 
junction of the Tug Fork ami the West Fork of 
the Sandy R. marks the western limit of the 
mountain region. 

That portion of the state which extends west- 
ward fi-omthis line to another line drawn from 
the S. E. corner of Trigg co. to the Ohio R., near 
the mouth of S.alt R.,is an undulating table-land, 
and may be considered as the continuation of 
the Highland Rim of Tenn. (See Tenn.) It has 
an elevation above the seaof 6W) to 900feet,and its 
surface is considerably diversified. In the cen- 
ter of the state the undulations attain, in Mul- 
draughs Hill, to a considerable height, and along 
the banks of the Ohio extends a range known 
as the Ohio hills. The extensive district iu the 
midst of which lie the cities of Frankford and 
Lexington is a plain, mueli lower than the 
general surface of the plateau, and famous, 
as the " blue grass region," for its extraordinary 



fertility of soil. It is the garden of the state, 
and has a soil of deep black mould, almost 
without sand. Much of the counti-y between 
the Cumberland and Green Rs. is occupied by 
the so-called " Barrens," treeless plains of poor 
soil, with isolated wooded hills, or "oak knobs." 
A striking feature of the state is the sinkholes 
and limestone caverns, large numbers of wliich 
occur ju the portion lying S. W. of the center. 
The famous Mammoulh Cave in Edraonston co. 
has, with its branches, an extent of probably 
more than 40 mis., and consists of a series of con- 
nected chambers, from the vaults of which hang 
immense stalactites, while stalagmites, equally 
gigantic, rise from the floors in the form of 
pointed pillars and columns. The sinkholes 
are cone-shaped depressions or cavities, from 
60 to 70 feet deep, and from 60 to 300 feet in cir- 
cumference at the top. In some cases the bot- 
tom is open and discloses a subterranean 
stream. 

The -western part of Ky. is a gently rolling 
plain. 

iJryers.— Nearly all the streams draining this 
state are affluents of the Ohio R., which washes 
the entire northern boundary, a distance of 
over 600 mis. The Sandy R. is formed by the 
Tug Fork and the West Fork, both of which 
rise in Virginia and burst through depressed 
gaps of the Cumberland Mts. The Tug Fork 
and the main stream form the north-western 
state line. Licking R. rises in Magoflin co., 
flows N. W. and empties into the Ohio R. op- 
posite Cincinnati, between the cities of Coving- 
ton and Newport. It is not navigable. The 
Kentucky R. is formed by the North, Middle 
and South Forks, which rise in the Cumberland 
Mts. and unite in Owsley co. It joins the Ohio, 
near Trestonville, and is navigable for 65 mis. 
Salt R. intersects the center of the state and 
empties near West Point. Steamboats ascend 
it 25 mis. above its mouth. Green R., the largest 
stream belonging exclusively to the state, rises 
in Lincoln co., flows W. as far as Muhlenburg 
CO., and turning N. N. W. empties a few nils, 
above Evansville, Ind. For a distance of 200 
mis. it is navigated by steamboats, and smaller 
craft ascend still farther. The Big Barren It., 
Pond R., Saline Cr. and Rough Cr. are its prin- 
cipal tributaries. The Cumberland R. rises in 
the mountain chain bearing the same name, 
bursts through several of the lower ridges, and 
after describing a very tortuous course makes 
a bend into Tenn. It re-enters the state in 
Trigg CO., and joins the Ohio near Smithland, 
in Livingston co. It is navigable to Nashville, 
Tenn. Of the Tennessee R. the lower course 
only belongs to Ky., and it joins the Ohio a few 
mis. above Paducah. It is navigable far be- 
yond the limits of the state. The Mississippi 
R. washes the western border and receives iu 
Ky. but a few small tributaries, as Mayfield Cr., 
Obion R. and Bayou de Chien. 

Ciimaie. — The clim.ate of Kj^. is mild. The 
winters usually last from December to the end 
of March, and on the whole are not severe, 
though the thermometer occasionally falls as 
low as 15° Falir. In the southern cos. cattle 
rarely require shelter. The summers are long 
and warm, with rise of temperature to 95° and 
even 100°. The mean annual temperature in 
the middle portions of the state is about 55°. 
South-westerly winds prevail in the spring and 
summer, and fain falls most abundantly in the 
winter and early spring, while the summer and 
fall are often distinguished by long droughts, 
Ky. when flrst settled was well timbei-ed, and 
tlie mountainous or hilly portions are even now 
covered with extensive forests of deciduous 
trees. The "Barrens" resemble 1=he more north, 
em prairies and atl'ord good pasturage. 

I^opululion.— Kv. had, in 1790, 73,677 inhabi- 
tants ; in 1800, 220,955; in ISIO, 406,511; in 1820, 
564,135; in 1830, 687,917; in 1840, 779,828; in 1850, 
982^05 ; iu 1860, 1,155,684, and in 1870, 1,321,011. Of

tlie last number there were 1,098,692 wliltes and 
222,210 colored persons. The largest part of the 
population was native of the United States, viz.: 
1,257,613, including 1,080,998 natives of the state. 
The foreign-born population numbered but 63,- 
398 inhabitants, or 4 4-5 per cent, of the whole. 
It comprised 1,082 natives of British America, 
30,318 of Germany, 4,173 of England. 21,612 of Ire- 
land, 1,019 of Scotland, and 1,147 of Switzerland. 

The number of persons above 10 years of age 
was 930,136, of whom 414,593 were engaged in use- 
ful occupations, viz.: 261,080 in agi-iculture, 84,- 
024 in professional and personal services, 25,292 
in trade and transportation, and 44,197 in manu- 
factures and mechanical and mining industries. 

Mining and Minerals. — Kentucky is abundant- 
ly supplied with productive coal beds and iron 
fleposlts. The coal crops out on the river banks 
and hill sides in the eastern portions of the 
state and on the Ohio. Although not yet ex- 
tensively mined, it will in future supply the 
domestic requirements and support an exten- 
sive manufacturing industry. The principal 
coal mines are in the north-eastei"n portion of 
the state, and yield a very superior coal. 

Agriculture.— ls.er\t\\c\s-y has a productive soil, 
and, with the exception of tlie highest ridges or 
a few limited areas and sandy knobs in the 
"Barrens," is every where Avell adapted to the 
purposes of the farmer and stock I'aiser. The 
region of the Licking and Kentucky Rs.,from 
their sources to the banks of the Oliio R., and 
measuring a hundred mis. square, is one of the 
richest in the United States, and possesses in its 
deep black mould an inexhaustible source of 
wealth. Indian-corn and tobacco are the great 
staples of the state. In 1870 there were produced 
50,091,066 bushels of the former, and 105,305,869 
lbs. of the latter, mostly grown in the Ohio val- 
ley. The other productions were : Spring wheat, 
38,532 bush.; winter wheat, 5,690,172 bush.; rye, 
1,108,933 bush.; oats, 6,620,103 bush.; cotton, 1,080 
bales: wool, 2,234,450 lbs.; Irish pot's, 2,391,062 
' bush,; sweet pot's, 802,114 bush.; wine, 62,360 
gallons ; butter, 611,874,978 lbs.; hay, 204,399 tons, 
and sorghum molasses. 1,740,453 gallons. 

The live stock had a ' value ol $66,287,343, and 
comprised 317,034 horses, 90,230 mules and asses, 
247,615 milch cows, 69,719 working oxen, 382,993 
other cattle, 936,765 sheep, and 1,838,227 swine. 
The slaughtered animals had a value of $24,121,- 
861. 

The improved land measured 8,103,850 acres ; 
woodland, 9,134,6.58 acres, and other unimproved 
land, 1,421,598. The cash value of farms was 
$311,238,896; of farm implements, $8,572,898 ; and 
of all farm productions, including additions to 
stock, $87,477,374. The amount of wages paid 
during the year, including value of board, was 
$10,709,382. 

Manufactures. — In 1870 there were in Ky. 5,390 
manufacturing establishments against 3,450 
in 1800. The number of steam-en";ines was 1,147, 
with 31,928 horse-power, and the number of 
hands employed was 30,636, who received 
$9,444,524 in wages. The capital invested was 
$29,277,809 against $20,256,579 in 1860, and the value 
of productions $54,625,809 against P7,931,240. The 
principal industries were as follows : Agricul- 
tural implements ; (value of goods in 44 estab- 
lishments), $1,384,917 ; the 420 boot and shoe shops 
produced goods of $1,144,684 in value; the car- 
riages and wagons had a value of $1,339,909; men's 
clothing, $l,0(jS,2.5S ; flour and meal, $7,886,734; 
furniture, $1,361,149 ; forged and rolled iron, $2,-

specified, $2,363,473 ; leather, tanned and curried, 
$1,693,574 ; distilled liquors, $4,532,730 ; sawed lum- 
ber, $3,662,086; saddles and harness, $1,013,852; 
tin, copper and sheet-iron ware, $1,051,020 ; 
chewing, smoking and snnfling tobacco, $1,647,- 
669 ; cigars, $449,335, and woollen goods, $897,057. 
Commerce and Railroads. — The great border 
Streams of Ky., and the navigable rivers inter- 
secting it, attord excellent commercial facili- 



ties, and the surplus products of the state, as 
salt, beef, pork, bacon, cotton bags, etc., are 
shipped in steam and flat boats to New Orleans. 
Large numbers of horses and mules are annu- 
ally driven to the Atlantic States, and com- 
mand a good price. 

As regards the construction of railroads, Ky. 
has not kept pace with the states north of it. 
In 1841 the railroad mileage was 28, and remained 
so for the next 7 years, in 1851 it had increased 
to 94 ; in 1862 to 567, and in 1872 to 1,123. The 
principal lines are : The Eastern Kentucky R. 
R., from Riverton to Grayson (23 mis.), with two 
short branches to the coal mines of 5 mis.; the 
Elizabethtown & Padueah R. R. (185 mis.), of 
which 160 mls.W. of Elizabethtownare in opera- 
tion; the Kentucky Central R. R., from Coving- 
ton, opposite Cincinnati, to Lexington (99 mis.); 
the Louisville, Cincinnati & Lexington R. R., 
from Louisville to Lexington (93>^inls.), with a 
branch from La Grange to Covington (77}^mls.); 
the Louisville & Nashville R. R. (185 mis.), with 
a branch to Bardstown (17 mis.), anotherto Liv- 
ingston (110 mis.), another to Richmond (33J4 
mis.), and anotherto Tenn. state line (46i/^mls.), 
and thePaducah & Memphis R. R. (165 mis.), ot 
which 631^ mis., from Padueah to Troy, Tenn., 
are in operation. 

Education, e<c.— According to the report of 
the Superintendent of Public Instruction for 
the year ended June 30, 1871, there were 405,427 
children of the school age in the state, of whom 
but 120,866 attended the public schools. The num- 
ber of school districts was 5,117, and of schools 
5,068. A new school law, providing a system of 
free schools on the New England model, was 
passedin 1S70, but has not thus far been success- 
fully carried into cfl'ect. The Superintendent 
says : " The neglect hitherto of our school inter- 
ests, and the inadequacy of means in the poorer 
sections for generations, have left a large per- 
centage of the adult population utterly desti- 
tute of the barest elements of education, while 
the balance have only enough to say that they 
are one degree better ofl'. The result is, that the 
ideas of the people as to what education is, and 
what the schools need, are of the crudest and 
most imperfect kind." The most important of 
the higher institutions of learning is the Ken- 
tucky University, with which is connected the 
Agricultural College. The vmivcrsity has funds 
to the amount of $400,000, and real estate to the 
value of $250,000. There are 25 academies, with 
20,000 pupils, in the state, and 20 colleges, with 
2,500 pupils. c 

The charitable institutions are the State 
House of Reform for Juvenile Delinquents, es- 
tablished in 1872; the Western Lunatic Asylum 
at Hopkinsville, the Eastern Lunatic Asylum 
at Lexington, the Kentucky Institution for the 
Education and Training of Feeble Minded 
Children at Frankfort, and the Kentucky Insti- 
tution for the Education of Deaf Mutes at Dan- 
ville. 

The Kentucky Penitentiary is located at 
Frankfort. 

The Press.— In 1S70 Kentucky had 89 newspa- 
pers, with a circulation of 197,130, including 6 
dailies, 4 tri-weeklies, 4 semi-weeklies, 68 week- 
lies and 7 monthlies. The following papers had 
the largest circulation : " Louisville Courier- 
Journal," daily edition, 12,600, and weekly edi- 
tion, 22,300 circulation ; the ■' Louisville Com- 
mercial," dailv edition, 7,800; weekly edition, 
10,000; "Louisville Christian Observer, 8,500; 
"Lexington Apostolic Times," weekly, 6,000. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— The true v.alue of 
personal and real estate was $604,318,552 ; the 
assessed value of the same, $409,544,294 ; of which 
$98,084,600 were for personal and $311,479,694 for 
real estate. The state taxation in the same 
year was $2,254,413 ; county taxation, $1,307,833, 
and town, city, etc., taxation, $2,167,872 ; making 
the total taxation, not national, $5,730,118. 

The Governor, in his message to the Legisla- 



KENTUCKY.

KEOKUK JUNCTION. 



ture in January, 1873, says that the finances of 
the state are in a most healthy and prosperous 
condition. At the close of the fiscal year, end- 
ed October 10, 1871, the bonded debt (exclusive 
of the sc]iool debt, which is a permanent loan, 
and not therefore redeemable) Avas $1,069,391. 
Since that period there has been redeemed and 
canceled up to October 10, 187"2, bonds amount- 
ing in the aggregate to $303,000 ; leaving unpaid, 
due and not due, $766,394. To this amount must 
he added $200,000 of bonds, issued under the 
provisions of the act approved January IS, 187'2, 
to provide for the deficit in the treasury on ac- 
count of the i-evenue proper. 

The means at command of the commissioners 
of the sinking fund for the redemption of the 
foregoing amount of indebtedness ($9o6,39-l) and 
the interest thereon,were $2,42^,392. The receipts 
for the fiscal year ended October, 1873, were 
estimated at $1,0-24,460, and the expenditures at 
$1,476,469, leaving a deficit of $452,009. To this 
must be added tlie deficit of the preceding year, 
amounting to $365,306, making tlie total deficit 
$717,375. To ]3rovido for this and to prevent any 
future deficit, the Governor recommends that 
a very large portion of the receipts, which now 
go into the sinking fund, be diverted into tlie 
revenue proper. Not only are there in the 
treasury $544,623 to the credit of the sinking 
fund, but the state has loaned to the Bank of 
Kentucky and the Farmers' Bank tlie sum of 
$1,147,368, making an aggregate of $1,691,991 in 
cash and available assets with Avhich to redeem 
the bonded debt of the state. 

Government. — Tlie Governor, Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor. Auditor, Attorney-General and Superin- 
tendent of Public Instruction are elected by 
the people for a term of four years. The Gov- 
ernor is ineligible for the four years succeeding 
the expiration of his term. If a vacancy occur 
in the oftice of governor during the first two 
years of the term, it is filled by a new election ; 
and if it occur during the last two years, the 
Lieutenant-Governor, and after him the Speak- 
er of the House, becomes acting governor. The

separating the cities of New Y'ork and Brook- 
lyn, and joining New York B. Some rocky 
ledges in the East R. prodi^ce a whirlpool, 
called Hell or Hurl-Gate, which prevents the 
passage of large ships. The work of removin" 
the rocks and thereby deepeniufr the channel 
has been commenced. When this improve- 
ment is finished, the largest ships may go to 
N. Y. through the Sound.

I.01JISIAXA is bounded on the S. by the 
Gulf of Mexico; on the N. by Ark. and Miss.; 
on the W. by Tex., and on the E. by Miss. Its 
total area is 41,346 sq. mis., or 26,461,440 acres. It 
includes the extensive delta of the Missis- 
sippi. 

Surface. — The state throughout is a low, allu- 
vial plain, in no part rising more than 200 feet 
above the sea level. The north-western and 
western counties are hilly, and better drained 
than the southern and eastern. These latter 
include extensive swamps and cane-brakes, 
often overflowed by the tides. Along the Mis- 
sissippi R. much of the soil is below the level 
of the stream during high water, and is pro- 
tected from inundation by levees or dykes of 
earth. The occasional yielding of one of these 
levees causes what is called a " crevasse," 
through which the water pours with great 
force, causing a widespread destruction of 
property. 

Rivers arid Lakes. — The chief river of La. is 
the Mississippi. This magnificent stream is 
navigable throughout its whole length in the 
state for the largest steamboats at all seasons 
of the year. It brings down vast quantities of 
earth in solution, which it deposits at its mouth, 
forniing a delta of rich soil. (See Mississippi 
B.) The Red R., also a large and navigable 
Btream, extends through the central and north- 
western part of the state, and forms an impor- 
tant avenue of inland commerce. The Washita, 
in the N., and the Calcasieu, in the S. are also 
rivers of considerable magnitude. Numerous 
lakes and lagoons are scattered over the state. 
The largest is Lake Ponchartrain, N. of the city 
of New Orleans, which has a navigable con- 
nection with the Gulf of Mexico, through 
Lake Borgne, and with Lake Maurepas on the 
W. These lakes are but expansions of the 
^mite R., which rises la Miss, and empties into 
33 



Lake Maurepas. The Mississippi Delta also in- 
cludes a number of lakes, which are fed by the 
branches of the great river. Such are Grand 
Lake, an expansion of the Atchafalaya Bayou, 
Lake Washa, Lake Quitman and others. The 
Mermenteau Calcasieu and Sabine Rs. form 
each an extensive lake at no great distance 
from their mouths. The bed of the Red R. is 
obstructed by the "Great Raft," an accumula- 
tion of drift-wood, which causes the formation 
by the back-water of extensive lakes, as Lake 
Caddo and others. Lakes Bodeau, Bistineau, 
Black, Spanish, Jatt, and Catahoula are drained 
by tributaries of Red R. 

Climate. — The climate of La. is warm, but w.'^Jl 
colder Avinters and more variable than the re- 
gions in the same latitude on the Atlantic coast, 
'The mean annual temperature of New Orleans 
is about 69° Fah.; the mean annu.al rain fall is 50 
inches. Tlie greater part of the rain is in the 
spring and summer months. Owing to the 
dampness, the variability of the temperature, 
and the extent of low, undrained lands, the 
climate is an unhealthy one, especially for 
strangers. Yellow fever and miasmatic fevers 
are yearly visitors in many sections. 

The vegetation is luxuriant, oranges, sugar- 
cane, bananas, and other tropical productions 
being raised. Tlie cypress, cedar and yellow 
pine are among the principal trees. The 
lagoons abound in alligators, turtles and fish, 
while serpents, and insects are numerous in 
the swamps. 

The Popidaiion of the state was, in 1S10, 76,556; 
in 1820, 152,923 ; in 183 ), 21.5,739 ; ia 1840, 352,411 ; in 
1850, 517,762 ; in 1860, 70^,002 and in 1870, 726,915. As 
La. was originally colonized by France, the 
inhabitants largely consist of descendants of 
the early French settlers, who have preserved 
their language and customs. Spaniards and 
descendants of Spaniards arc also numerous. 
The race division of the population, according 
to the last census reports, is as follows : Whites 
.362,065 ; colored persons, 364,210 ; Chinese, 71, and 
Indians 569. The latter are out of tribal rela- 
tions. 

According to their nativity, the inhabitants 
are thus divided : Born in the United States, 
665,088 ; inclusive of 501.864 natives of the State ; 
born in foreign countries, 61,827. The latter, in 
1870, comprised 714 British Americans, 18,933 
Germans, 792 Englishmen, 17,068 Irishmen and 
814 Scotchmen. 

The total population in 1870 Included 526,392 
persons of ten years and more of age, and of 
these 256,452 were engaged in the various classes 
of useful occupations,"viz.: 141,467 in agricul- , 
ture, 65,347 in professional and personal services, 
23,831 in trade and transportation, and 25,807 in 
manufactures and mechanical industries. 

Minerals.— The tertiarv formation, which oc- 
cupies two-fifths of the s'tate N. of a line from 
the junction of the Sabine and Neches Rs. to 
Hai-risonburgh, in Catahoula parish, contains 
iron, ochre, gypsum, marl and coal. The latter 
is however not of the best quality. The south- 
ern part of the state, including the Mississippi 
Delta, is composed of alluvium, brought down 
and deposited by the Mississippi and its tributa- 
taries. Beds of pure sulphur have been found, 
below these deposits. 

Agriculture.— The best soil of La. is that of 
the river bottoms, and may be considered inex- 
haustible. The higher portions consist of open, 
prairies, which are but moderately productive. 
Sugar and cotton are the great agricultural 
staples of the state. Of the former were pro- 
duced, in 1870, 80,706 hogsheads against 221,726 
hogsheads in 1860 ; and of the latter 350,832, bales 
against 777,738 bales in 1860 ; thus showing a de- 
plorable decrease in the chief industry, due to 
the disastrous etTeets of the civil war and the 
consequent disorganization of society and the 
state. The other products, according to the 
census, were : 4,535,150 gallons of cane molasses ;.

The live stock had a value of $15,929,188, and 
comprised .59,7.38 horses, 61,338 mules and asses, 
102.076 milch cows, 32,.596 working oxen, 200,589 
other cattle. 118.002 sheep and 3.38,326 hoi;s. 

The cash value of farms was $(;8,21.5,421, and of 
all farm productions, including betterments 
and additions to stock, $.52,006,622. The farms 
Included 2,045,640 acres of improved land, 4,003,- 
170 of woodland, and 977,007 of other unimproved 
land. 

The Manufactures of La. are unimportant and 
comprise biit a few articles. In 1870 there were 
2,557 manufacturing establishments, with an in- 
vested capital of $18,313,974; employing 887 steam- 
engines of 24,924 horse-power, and 30,071 hands, 
receiving $4,.5y3,470 wages, and consuming $12,- 
412,023 worth of raw materials. The total Talue 
of products was $24,161,'.K)5 ; but of this sum, 
$10,341,868 was for raw sugar, which in reality is 
an agricultural product. The sugar refined in 
the state had a vahie of but $643,085 ; the sawed 
lumber of $1,212,037, and the flour and meal of 
$726,287. 

Commerce. — La. has unequaled facilities for 
commercial intercourse. Bordering on an ac- 
cessible branch of the sea, and being traversed 
in several directions by the most magnificent 
navigable streams, this state is the natural out- 
let for the surjilus products of the great cen- 
tral plain of the continent— the Mississippi 
Valley — the most ex*ensive body of rich lands 
on the face of the globe. In addition to 
her unequaled water communications, she has 
a railroad sj'stem which will soon connect her 
principal cities with the states lying to the E, 
and to the W. In 1862 the mileage of her rail- 
roads was .335 ; in 1872, 539. Tlie New Orleans, 
Mobile & Texas R. 11. intersects the state from 
E. to W. The division from Mobile to New 
Orleans (140 mis.) is m working order, and the 
division from the latter city to Houston, Tex. 
(3;% mis.), in rapid progress of construction. 
Two branches of this road connect Vermillion- 
Vllle with Shreveport and Brashear City. The 
New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern R. R. 
is completed from New Orleans to Canton, 
Miss. (206 mis.), and the New Orleans, Baton 
Bouge & Vicksbnrg R. R. has been projected. 

La. has tAvo ports of entry : New Orleans and 
Teche, whose combined registered, enrolled 
and licensed vessels in 1871 numbered 2.55, with 
61,365 tons. Forty-one of these vessels, with 
20,718 tons, were steamers. The value of im- 
ports was $19,427,238, and of domestic exports, 
193,953,081. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— The assessed value 
of real estate, in 1870, was $101,343,376 : and of 
personal property, $62,028,514 ; but tne true 
value of both was estimated at .$323,125,666. The 
total, not national, taxation was $7,060,722, of 
which $2,671,693 were state taxes, $4,109,999 
county taxes, and $279,030 city and town taxes. 
The total public debt had reached tlie enor- 
mous amount of $53,087,441, which included $25,-- 
021,734 state indebtedness ; $1,326,635 of county 
indebtedness.and $26,739,072 of city and town in- 
debtedness.- In 1871 the state debt was estimat- 
ed at $30,244,752, being exceeded only by the 
debt of the wealthy state of N. Y. 

Education. — The number of school children in 
the state, in 1870, was 2,5.3,.353, according to the 
report of the State Superintendent of Public 
Bnucation ; but only 23,223 (less than 10 per. 
cent.) of these were enrolled pupils. There 
■wore 230 public schools with 524 teachers, and 
132 private schools with 203 teachers and 6,170 
pupils. There were also 48 classical, technical 
and professional schools with 440 teachers and 
over 5,000 pupils. The Louisiana State Univer- 
sity, located at Baton Kouge, was organized in 



1860, and had. In 1870, 185 students (here called 
cadets). Straight University, at New Orleans, 
is making steady progress and gives promise 
of extended usefulness in the future. Union 
Normal School, also at New Orleans, is sustain- 
ed by the ^Methotlists. 

The number of papers published in 1870, in 
La., was 92, which liad a circulation of Sl.ieiS. 
Seven of these were dailies and 75 weeklies. 
The " New Orleans Picayune," of New Orleans, 
has the largest influence and a circulation of 
12,200. The "New Orleans Times," the "Bee." 
and the " Detitsche Zeitung" were the only 
other papei's whoso circulation exceeded 5,000, 

Oovernment.— "La, Salle, a French navigator, 
first ascendeil the Mississippi in 1682, and took 
possession of both banks under the Fiaine of 
Louisiana. The first permanent colonies were 
established in 1699 and 1700, and New Orleans wa3 
founded in 1718. In 1803 the territory of which 
La. forms a part was sold to the United States 
tor the sum of $12,000,000, and in 1812 it was ad- 
mitted as a state into the Union. The Gover- 
nor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, 
Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Educa- 
tion and Attorney-General are chosen for the 
term of four years. The Senate is composed of 
36 members, who are elected for four years 
(one-half biennially). The House of Represen- 
tatives consists oflOl members. The constitu- 
tion provides that it shall not exceed 120 mem- 
bers and not be less than 90. Evei-y male person 
of the age of 21 years and upward,'born or natu- 
ralized in the United States, and a resident of 
the state one year next preceding an election 
and the last ten days within the parish in 
which he olTers to vote, shall be deemed an 
elector. 

The judicial power Is vested in a Supreme 
Court, Districts Courts, Parish Courts and Jus- 
tices of the Peace. The Supreme Court has ap- 
pellate jurisdiction only, and is composed of a 
Chief Justice anil four Associate Justices. The 
justices of this court are appointed by the Gov- 
ernor, with the advice and consent of the Sen- 
ate, for eight years. The Supreme Court holds 
its sessions at New Orleans from the first Mon- 
day of November to the end of Maj*. The state 
is divjded into twelve disti-icts, in each of which 
is one district court, except the district of 
New Orleans, which has seven. These courts 
have unlimited jurisdiction in criminal cases ; 
original jurisdiction in all cases in which the 
amount in dispute exceeds $500, and apnellate 
jurisdiction in cases in which the amount in 
dispute exceeds $100.

*IiOalsTille, city, a port of entry and the co. 
seat of Jeflbrson co., Ky.; is situated on the 
Ohio R. above the falls, 142 mis. below Cincin- 
nati, ()18 mis. below Pittsburgh, and 3S7 mis. 
above Cairo. It is the terminus of the Louis- 
ville, Cincinnati & Lexington R. R.; the Louis- 
ville & Nashville R. R.; the Jetfersonville, 
Madison & Indianapolis R. R. ; the Louisville 
Branch of the Ohio & Mississippi R. R.; the 
Memphis & Louisville Line, and the Louis- 
ville, New Albany & Chicago R. R. 

The great prosperity of the city is chiefly 
due to its advantageous commercial position 
in the centre of the Ohio Valley and the high- 
ly productive country surrounding it. As a 
market for t/ibacco, whisky, horses, cattle and 
pork, it holds a foremost rank among the 
cities W. of the AUeghanies. Tobacco is stored 
In several immense warehouses, and then sold 
at auction, either for home consumption or 
for direct exportation to Europe. In iStiO there 
were thus sold 17,573 hhds.; in 18(i8, 29,509 hhds.; 
in 1870, 40,047 hhds., and in 1871, 48,008 hhds., ex- 
elusive of the large quantities changing hands 
at private sales. A Tobacco Exchange and 
Depot, of the largest dimensions is being 
erected by a chartered company, with a capi- 
tal of $5,000,000. The tobacco factories pro- 
duced, in J871, 3,352,334 lbs. of chewing tobacco, 
against 2,332,752 lbs. in 1870, and 526,321 lbs. of 
smoking tobacco, against 146,507 lbs. in 1870. 

The sales of whisky, mostly the famous 
"Bourbon," amounted in 1870 to 9,85.3,173 gal- 
lons. The horses and cattle of Kjr., especially 
those raised in the Blue Grass region, are cele- 
brated throughout the Union. In 1870 there 
were sold in L. 24,000 horses and mules ; 110,000 
cattle ; 600,000 hogs, and 100,000 sheep. In the 
seven pork houses of the city, 264,826 hogs 
■were killed and packed. L. hiis 519 manufac- 
turing establishments, employing 11,000 hands 
and a capital of nearly $17,000,000, and produc- 
ing goods to the value of $46,845,000. The larg- 
est manufactories are : 10 iron foundries, 3 
brass foundries, 4 plow factories, 4 distilleries, 
5 breweries, 4 furniture factories, 2 stove 
foundries, 2 paper mills, 9 planing mills, 2 hub 
and spoke factories, 10 tanneries, 5 woollen 
factories, 3 cotton factories, 3 oil mills, 3 agri- 
cultural implement works, 6 flouring mills, 7 
tobacco factories, 2 white lead works, a chemi- 
cal factory, an edge tool factory, a bolt? fac- 
tory, 2 glass factories and a steel factory. 

In 187l there were built on the wharves of 
L. 23 steamboats and 10 barges, having an 
aggregate capacity of 13,146 tons. 

The first permanent settlement on the spot 
now occupied by L. was made in 1778, and in 
1828 it was incorporated as a city. Two years 
later it had r. population of about 10,000 ; in 
18G0, 75,085, and in 1870, 100,753, making it the 
fourteenth largest city in the Union. The na- 
tives of the United States numbered 75,085, 
and of foreign countries 25,668, including 856 
Frenchmen, 14,330 Germans, 930 Englishmen 
and 7,216 Irishmen. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
35,800 persons, viz.: 331 in agriculture, 15,329 in 
professional and personal services, including 
119 clergymen, 31 journalists, 214 lawyers, 241 
physicians and surg'eons, 377 teachers, 5,824 



. domestic servants and 5,612 laborers ; 7,652 in 
trade and transportation, and 12,488 in manu. 
I'actures and mechanical occupations. 

The city lies on a beautiful and productive 
plain, which extends 30 mis. along the S. bank 
of the Ohio R. The wide streets, running 
nearly parallel with the stream, are inter- 
sected by others at right angles. Except the 
principal business avenues (.JelTerson, Mar- 
ket and Main), the streets are lined with 
shade trees, and the residences stand in gar- 
den plats and lawns. 

The chief public work of L. is the Louisvillo 
& Portland Canal, which was constructed 
around the falls in the river, and is about 2'^ 
mis. long. The magnificent railroad bridge 
which spans the Ohio R. is 2]4 mis. long, and 
rests upon 16 massive stone piers. Another 
similar bridge has been projected and will 
soon be built. 

Tlie city is divided into 14 wards, each of 
which is represented in the general council 
by 2 councilman and 1 alderman. The mayor 
is elected for two years. The City Hall, Court 
House and House'of Refuge are among the 
most prominent public buildings. The Uni- 
versity of Louisville was organized in 1837, 
and comprises two faculties (of law and of 
medicine). It possesses a fine library and a, 
collection of philosophical apparatus. There 
is also a medical college, with 15 professors- 
The city has two high schools for boys and 
one high school for girls, several intermediate 
schools and district schools. The attendance 
of the public schools in 1870 was 9,705, and the 
total expenditure for the same amounted to 
$188,883. The school-houses had a value of 
$.598,000. An excellent Gei-man-American aca- 
demy was founded in 1857, and reorganized 
1865. The Mercantile Library contains more 
than 20,000 volumes, and the Historical Society 
has many important and rare works, illus- 
trating the early history of the state. 

The city has 76 churches, many of which are 
magnificent structures, as the Cathedral, St. 
Paul's Episcopal Cliurcli, the First Presby- 
terian Church and others. 

The leading newspapers are : The " Loiiis- 
ville Courier-Journal," daily and weekly : the 
" Louisville Commercial," daily and weekly : 
the " Louisville Ledger," evening daily and 
weekly; "Lousville Volksblatt " and "Louis- 
ville Angeiger," both German dailies and 
weeklies. The total nun.ber published is 
twenty-seven.

At its eastern extremity is Passamaquoddy 
B., which receives the St. Croix R., separating 
Me. from New Brunswick, and projects Luliec 
B. far into the land. Leaving Passamaquoddy 
B. we double (Juoddy Head, and after a sail of 
23 mis. reach Mathias B. Then follows English- 
man's B., with Rogue and Mistake islands ; Xar- 
raguagas B., Frenchman's B., with the lofty 
peaks of Mt. Desert Island, so famous for its 
grandeur ; Isle Haute B., forming, with Penob- 
scot B. and Belfast B., the magniflcent estuary 
of the Penobscot R., and wasliing the shores of 
Fox Island, Deer Island and Long Island ; Mus- 
congus B., Damariscotta B., Sheepscott B., the 
romantic estuary of Kennebec R., Quohog B., 
Casco B. (with its numberless small islands), 
Saco B., and, lastly, the wide mouth of the Pis- 
cataqua R. 

Surface.— X broad belt of mountain country 
enters Me. on its western boundary, and trend- 
ing in a north-easterly direction /ar into New 
Brunswick, occupies the central portions of the 
state. This belt is a part of the Appalachian Sys- 
tem, and more especially of the White Mts. of 
N. II. It bears numerous peaks of great height, 
which do not, however, forni continuous ranges, 
but rather separate groups, often very irregu- 
larly ariiinged. In Oxford co. there are many 
summits but little less elevated than Mt. Wash- 
ington and others of the adjacent state. Farther 
E. they gradually diminish in height until tl*ey 
approach the western bank of the Kennebec R., 
in Somerset co., where the continuity of the 
belt is broken by the valley of this stream. On 
its eastern banks the highlands reappear, first 
in broad swells and Hills, and then again as- 
sume, in Piscataquis co., the impressive moun- 
tain size, especially on the northern tributaries 
of the Piijcataquis R., as in Eberae and Spencer 
mountains. From Mt. Katahdin (5,720 feet ), the 
culminating height of tliis part of the high- 
lands, there is again a gradual falling off, and 
another break is formed by the valley of the 
East Branch of the Penobscot. Beyond this river 
the highlands trend off to the state line of New 
Brunswick, where Mars Hill (about 2,000 feet 
high) forms the culminating point. Among the 
numerous peaks of this last section may be 
mentioned the " Sugar Loaf," Chase's Mt., 
Speckled Mt., or Mt. Mattaluck, near Grafton ; 
Mt. Puzzle, in Hanover ; Mt. Blue, in Avon; Mt. 



Abram, in Salem, and Saddleback and Bigclow 

m New Vineyard. 

North of this highland belt the country grad- 
ually slopes down to the broad vallev of the R. 

St. John, while the north-western boundary of 
Me. IS formed by the range which divides the 

waters of the St. Lawrence from the Atlantic 
Ocean, and which is one of the prolongations 
ot the Green Mts. of Vt. Toward the S. the high- 
land belt sinks down to the sea-coast. 

Rivers and Lakes.— Me. is exceedingly well 
supplied with streams, lakes and ponds. Five 
prnicipal lake svstems may be distinguished ; 
tliat is, chains of lakes, connected by rivers and 
thoroughfares and drained by main channels, 
which convey their surplus waters to the occai:. 
The Umbagog chain, consisting of the lakea 
Umbagog, Wallakenabagog, .A.rgwassnck and 
Musilla Maguntic, is drained by the Androscog- 
gin R. This stream rises in the N. W. corner o( 
the state, near Saddle Hill, flows S., makes a 
bend into N. H., where it cuts through the high- 
land belt, then turns E., flowing along the 
southern base of its highest mountain groups, 
and turning near Jay, in Franklin co., pursues 
a soutlierly course to the ocean. ' 

The Moosehead chain is drained by the Ken. 
nebec R., which flows in a southerly direction 
through the state andempties into the sea, hav- 
ing an estuary in common with the Androscog- 
gin. The principal affluents of the Kennebec 
are Dead, Moose, Sandy and Sabasticook Rs. 

The Penobscot R. drains a larger portion of 
Me. than any other stream. It is formed by 
the confluence of the W. and E. branches, 
v/hich join in Penobscot co. The Western 
Branch rises in the Laurentian water-shed near 
the N. W. state line, and has in the main an 
easterly course, draining Chesuncook Lake, 
Pemadumcook Lake, and Millinoket Lake. Into 
the northern extremity of Chesuncook Lake 
empties the Caucomgomac R., which is the out- 
let of a lake of the same name. The East Fork 
rises in the highland belt and has a general 
course to the S. S. E., draining Mattagomon 
Lake, and receiving the Sebois R., the outlet of 
Sebois Lake. The tributaries of the Penobscot 
R., S. of the junction of the two branches, are 
the Mattaw.amkeag R. (which receives tlio 
Baskahegan R. and other outlets of lakes) ; the 
Piscataquis R., draining Sebec Lake, Otter Pond 
and Endless Lake ; the Passadumkeag R. and 
others. 

Grand R. forms in part the eastern boundary 
of Me., is the outlet of the Schoodic or Grand 
Lake series, and empties into Pass.maa nddy B. 

The fifth and last great lake series is' that of 
the R. St. John, in the northern portion of the 
state. This large stream rises near the 46th 
parallel in Somerset co., and pursues a N. N. E. 
course under the name of Woolastook R. On 
striking the state line it receives the St. Fran- 
cis R., flows to the E. along the boundary, and 
turning S. intersects New IJrunswick. Its lar- 
gest affluent in north-western Me. is the Alle- 
guash, which drains Telos Lake, Chamberlain 
Lake, Huron Lake, Umsaskis Lake and many- 
other smaller sheets of water. Fish R., which 
drains Madavvaska Lake, Cross Lake, Square 
Lake, Eagle Lake and Long Lake, joins the St. 
John near Fort Kent, and the Aroostook R-., 
flowing along the northern base of the highland 
belt, joins it in New Brunswick. 

The south-western part of the state is drained 
by the Saco R., which rises on the sloi>e of Mt. 
Washington, the highest peak of the AVhite 
Mts. Its general course through the gorges of 
the mountains is first southerly, then easterly. 
At Fryeburg it assumes a S. E. direction. 

The shorter rivei-s emptying Into the Atlantic 
Ocean are the following: Tresumpseut R., the 
outlet of Sebago Pond, in Cumberland co.; 
Sheepscot R., Union R., draining Hancock co.; 
Narraguagus R., Pleasant R. and Machias R., 
which is formed by the East and West branches.

The Superintendent of the Hydrographic 
Survey of Maine, Mr. "Walter TVells, in his ex- 
cellent report of 1869, estimates the inland 
waters— rivers and lakes— to cover a total area 
of 3,200 sq. nils., and the lakes alone 2,300 sq. mis., 
or about 1-15 part of the state. 

Clirtuite and Vegetation. — The climate of Me. is 
salubrious. The winters are long and often 
severe, but free from sudden changes. The sum- 
mers are pleasant and short. At Biddeford, 
frosts have been observed as early as the 15th 
of September and as late as the 12th of June. 
Rarely does the season of plant growth last 
over four months. 

Observations made during the year ending on 
December 1, 1861, at Belfast, in 44° 26' N. lat., 
gave the following results: Mean annual tem- 
perature, 42.8^; highest temperature, 85°; lowest, 
-32°; greatest monthly range of the thermome- 
ter, 78°. Northerly winds and south-westerly 
winds were most frequent ; southerly and east- 
erlv winds least frequent. 

The mean annual temperature at Fort Kent 
on the R. St. John is about 37°; at Fort Fair- 
field, 38°; at Eastport, 43°; at Castine, 43^^°; at 
Portland, 43 3-20°; at Brunswick and Bath, 44^^°, 
and at Gardiner nearly 44°. 

Me. Is one of the best timbered states of the 
Union, and notwithstanding immense tracts of 
forest have been cut down, enough is' left to 
support the lumber business for many years to 
come. The total forest area has been estimated 
at upward of 21,000 sq. mis. In the northern 
part of the state the forests consist chiefly of 
pine, hemlock and spruce. Deciduous trees, as 
maple, beech, birch, poplar, elm, etc., occur, 
but are less abundant than the coniferous trees. 

Wild animals are not rare in the thinly inhab- 
ited parts of the state. The moose, caribou, 
wild-cat and panther are sometimes met with 
in the northern forests. The other animals are 
the deer, bear, mink, sable, martin, beaver, 
woodchuck, raccoon and squirrel. AVild geese 
and ducks inhabit the lakes and ponds ; pas- 
senger pigeons, humming birds and other mi- 
gratory birds make their homes hero during 
the warm season, and eagles, hawks, owls, etc., 
are found in all parts of the state. 

Population. — iii 1790 Maine had 96,540 inhabit- 
ants; in 1800, 151. no, in 1810, 228,.507 ; in 1820, 298,- 
269 ; in 1830, 399,4.55 ; in 1840, 501,719 ; in 1850, 583,- 
169 ; in 1860, 628,279, and in 1S70, 626,915. During 
the last decade the decrease of population was 
1,364 or somewhat over 1-5 per cent. The popu- 
lation is almost entirely white. In 1870 there 
were but 1,606 colored persons and 499 Indians 
in Maine. Of the grand total, 578,0.34 were na- 
tives of the United States, and of these, 549,650 
natives of the state. Tlie total foreign-born 
population was 48,881, including 26,661 natives of 
British America, 508 of Germany, 3,645 of Eng- 
land, 1.5,745 of Ireland, and 998 of Scotland. 

The persons of 10 years of age and over num- 
bered 493,847 ; of these were engaged in all classes 
of useful occupations, 208,225, viz.: 80,011 in agri- 
cultural, 36,092 in professional and personal 
services, 28,115 in trade and transportation, 62,007 
in manufactures and meeiianieal industries. 

Minerals. — Maine is not a mining state. Fine 
granite and marble are the chief mineral re- 
Sources. Slate for rooflng and school purposes 
is found in the northern part. 

Agriculture.— "She amount of land in farms 
was, in 1870, 5,838,058 acres, or 25^4 per cent, of 
the total area of the state. The number of 
acres of improved land was 2,917,793 ; of wood 
land, 2,224,740 acres, and of unimproved farm 
lands, 695,525. The total number of farms was 
69,804, of which 22.889 had from20 to50 acres, and 
19,781 from 50 to 100 acres. The cash value of 
farms was $102,961,951; of farm iniplementSj $4,- 
809,113; of farm productions, including additions 
to stock, $33,470,044; of orchard products, $874,569; 
und of forest products, $1,531,741. 
The pi'incipal products were : Spring wheat, 



374,593 hush.; winter wheat, 4,200 bush.; rye, 34,- 
115 bush.; Indian-corn, 1,089.888 bush.; oats, 2,351, 
354 bush.; buckwheat, 466.635 bush.; Irish pot's, 
7,771,009 bush.; wool, 1,774,168 lbs.; butter, 11,636, 
482 lbs.; cheese, 1,1.52,.590 lbs.; wine, 7,047 galls.; 
maple sugar, 160,805 lbs.; hay, 1,053,415 tons. 

The total value of live stock was $23,357,129, 
and of slaughtered animals, $4,939,071. The live 
stock included 71,.514 horses, 3;56 mules and asses, 
139,259 milch cows, 60,5.30 working oxen, 143,272 
other cattle, 434,666 sheep and 45,760 swine. 

Manufactures. — The immense amount of wa- 
ter-power atforded by the great fall of the 
rivers over long distances and the numerous 
cascades and rapids, gives this state great na- 
tural advantages for manufacturing. Walter 
Wells, the Superintendent of the Hydrographic 
Survey, already quoted, estimates that 1,229,- 
200,000-000 cubic "feet of water is annually deliv- 
ered by the rivers into the sea ; and that their 
fall in the passage through the state averages 
600 feet. Allowing for the amount of water 4,429 
horse-power for each foot of fall, he concludes 
that the gross horse-power afforded to the state 
in its streams amounts to 2,657,400, which is 
equivalent to the working force of over 34,000,- 
000 men, laboring throughout the year. 

In 1870 only 70,108 horse-power of water-wheels 
was utilized, or 1-38 part of the whole amount 
in the state. The 354 steam-engines had 9,465 
horse-power. The number of manufacturing 
establishments was 5,550 against 3,810 in 1860, 
employing 49,180 horse-power, or nearly twice 
as many as in 1860. 

The total value of products was $79,497,521; the 
capital invested, $39,796,190, and the wages paid, 
$14,282,205. The raw materials consumed had a 
value of $49,379,757. Manufacturing is mostly 
carried on in the southern part of the state,ana 
the counties producing the largest amounts of 
goods were: Androscoggin, $14,016,816; Cum- 
berland, $16,557,581 ; Kennebec, $7,006,204 ; Penob- 
scot, $10,556,944, and York, $10,3,50,982. 

The value of sawed lumber in 1870 was $11,395,- 
747, and of planed lumber, $322,375. The cutting 
of the trees in the forests and the rafting of the 
timber to the saw mills, which convert it into 
boards, shingles, etc., is one of the principal in- 
dustries of Me., and is mostly done in the win- 
ter, when the felled trees may be drawn over 
the snow to the rivers, which float it down to 
the mills on the breaking up of the ice. The 
manufacture of cotton goods has also assumed 
of late large dimensions and produced the value 
of $11,739,781. The value of woollen goods was 
$6,1.50,620; of boots and shoes, $3,749,710; of car- 
riages and wagons, $1,051,488; of men's clothing, 
$2,881,863; of flour and meal, $4,415,998; of forged 
and rolled iron, $1,591,196; of tanned leather, 
$3,779,227; of curried leather, $1,082,554 ; of refin- 
ed sugar and molasses, $3,142,132; of oil fioor- 
cloth, $1,314,000; and of ship building, repairing 
and ship materials, $2,358,445. 

Commerce and Railroads. — The numerous har- 
bors and inlets along the broken coast give to 
Me.^jommercial facilities of the first order. The 
lai'ger streams are navigable from 10 to 50 mis. 
inland. The imports and exports of the custom 
districts, in 1871, were as follows :

The nnmber of sailin;? vessels was 2,694, -whicli 
had a tonnage of 379,4543^, and the 53 steam ves- 
sels had a tonnage of 17,568. 

Me. had, in 1841, 11 mis. of railroads ; inl&iO 245 
mis.; in 1856, 429 mis.; in 1862, 505 rals., and in 
1872, 871 mis. The following are the principal 
lines : Atlantic & St. Lawrence R. R., from Port- 
land to Island Pond. Vt., (149Umls.); Bangor & 
Piscataquis R. R., (48 mis.); Maine Central R. R 
main line from Bangor to Danville and from 
Danville to Cumberland (129 mis.), and leased 
branches (228 mis.), making a total of 355 mis 
0])erated by the company ; European & North 
American R. R. from Bangor to Vanceboroufh 
(114 mis.); Knox & Lincoln R. R. (49 mis.); Port-

Oxford Central R. R. (27i^ mis.); Portland, Saco 
A! Portsmouth R. R. (51 mis.); Portland & Ro- 
chester R. R. (52 mis.), and St. Croix & Penob- 
scot R. R. (22 mis.). 

Wealth, Taxation and Indebtedness.— The true 
value of real and personal estate in 1870 was 
$348,155,671 ; the assessed valuation of same, $134 - 
580,157. The financial condition of the state is 
highly satisfactory. The receipts for the year 
1872 were $1,3.34,860, and the disbursements $1 - 
147,044. On the first day of January, 1873, the 
public debt was $7,187,900 ; and as the sinking 
fund in the Treasury amounted to $1,020,247 the 
real indebtedness was but $6,167,653. Thesinkin"- 
funds are rapidly accumulating and will be 
amply sufficient to meet the debt as it matures 

Exclusive of the mill tax, the state tax of 
1872 was reduced $50,000 or $60,000 from the pre- 
vious year ; and could be reduced to five mills 
on the dollar. 

The county taxes in 1870 amounted to $315,199 
and the co. debt t.'74,153. The taxes of the towns 
and cities were $3,683,141, and the debts of the 
same $6,108,344, which were mostly incurred for 
the purposes of the civil war. 

Ilducation.— The whole number of scholars 
between 4 and 21 years of age in 1871 was 228,167; 
and of these 121 125, or less than half, were regis- 
tered m the public schools. The average school 
attendance was 94,429. The numl)er of school- 
houses was 4,004, inclusive of 158 built durui"- 
the year. It is a singular and not fully 
explained fact, that during the last 10 years the 
number of persons of school age had decreased 
15,7o3, while for the same time there had been an 
increase in the whole population, of 440. The 
established school tax is $1 for each inhabitant 
of the state. In 1871 the amount of school money 
voted was $740,.321, which exceeded the amount 
i-equired by law by $136,804. 

There are two normal schools for the train- 
ing of teachers. The Eastern, at Castine, was 
opened in 1867 ; the Western, at Parmington, in 
1864. The number of academies and private 
seminaries is nearly seventy. The four col- 
leges of Maine had, in 1871, 281 students. Bow- 
doin College, the oldest of these institutions, 
was organized in 1802, and is located at Bruns- 
wick. The State College of Agriculture and 
the Mechanic Arts was estabUshed in 1868, and 
had, m 1871, 71 students. 

Maine had, in 1870, 65 newspapers, with a cir- 
culation of 170,690. The number of daily papers 
was 7, of weekly 47, of monthly 8, and of quar- 
terly, tri-weekly and semi-weekly, 1 each. None 
of the dailies had a circulation of over 5,000 
copies. The semi-monthly '-Our Young Folks," 
published in Augusta, has reached the enor- 
mous circulation of 330,000; and the "People's 
Literary Companion," Augusta, of 200,000. The 
weekly " Transcript," of Portland, has a cii-cu- 
lation of 18,800. 

Charitable and Penal InstUutions.— The hos- 
pital for the insane, at Augusta, was opened in 
1840; and the State Reform School, at Cape 
Elizabeth, has been in operation since 1853. 
The boys confined In the school are emijloyed 
on the farm and in shops. " 

The State Prison is located at Thomaston, 



and on December, 1872, 164 convicts were con- 
fined therein. During that year it had paid 
tue sum of $7,847 over and above its expenses, 
lo^^"^'^''"'*^"'-""^^^- ■*^'is ^ part of Mass. until 
J^,-'*-^?7anact of Congres.s, approved on the 

L"^ March, 1820, it was declared that on and 
alter the 15th of March, of the .same year, the 
state of Me. should be admitted into the Union 
on equiil terms with the original states. 

The constitution provides that every male

Tlie legislative power is vested in a House 
ot Representatives and a Senate. The House 
of Representatives shall consist of not less 
than 100, nor more than 200, members, to be 
elected for one year. The Senate shall consist 
ot not less than 20, nor more than 31, members, 
to be elected also for one year. The Legislature 
shall convene on the first Wednesday of Janu-

3IAKYI>AND, one of the thirteen original 
states of the Union ; is bounded on the N. by 
Pa., on the E. by Del. and the Atlantic Ocean, 
and on the S. and AV. by Va. and W. Va. It ex- 
tends from 37^ 43' to 39° 44' K. lat., and from 75° 
10' to 79° 30' W. long. The area is 11,124 sq. mis., 
or 7,119,360 acres, exclusive of the part of Chesa- 
peake B. which belongs to the state. Chesa- 
peake B. and the Susquehanna R. intersect 
Md. from N. to S. and divide it into two unequal 
portions. The Potomac R. sweeps along the 
southern boundary of the western part, and as 
its course is irregular and curving, the width 
of the state from N. to S. varies between 3 mis. 
and 120 mis. 

(SiM/ttce.— That portion of the state which lies 
S. E. of a line drawn from the Susquehanna R., 
where it intersects the northern boundary, to 
the Potomac R., 10 mis. above Washington, is, 
on the whole, undulating or level, and but little 
elevated above the sea. This is the " tidal 
country," and embraces the region on both 
sides of Chesapeake B., measuring somewhat 
over oue-half of the are?, of the state. It be- 
longs to the great tertiary i)lains of the Atlan- 
tic. Its soil is sandy anil contains large deposits 
of marl and clay. 'Deep tiilal creeks penetrate 
far into the country, and they, as well as the 
larger streams which empty into the Chesa- 
peake B., have generally wide estuariea. 



Beyond the line above indicated, and extend- 
ing as far as the South Mt., which mav be con- 
sidered as a prolongation of the Blue Ridge of 
Va., the country is hilly and broken, and in- 
cludes ipicturesque and fertile valleys. PaiT's 
Mt. and other low ranges traverse it from N. 
E. to S. W. 

Ei-ona the South Mt., which abuts on the Poto- 
mac R. at Harper's Ferry, to the western bound- 
ary, Md. is traversed by the mountain ranges 
which enter it from Pa., and have a N. N. E. 
and S. S. W. trend. Washington co., Ij'ing be- 
tween South Mt. and Tuscarora Mt., is a part 
of the Cum1)erland Valley, rich in agricultiii"al 
resources and charming scenery. Beyond the 
Tuscarora the mountains are higher and the 
valleys narrower. The western section of th« 
state is intersected by several ranges of the Al- 
leghany Mts., attiiiuing an altitude of more 
than 2,500 feet. 

Jiivei-s.— With the exception of the eastern 
extremity, which includes a few small creeks 
emptying into the Atlantic, and the western 
extremity, where the Youghiogheny flows 
through a valley of the Alleghany Mts., Md. be- 
longs to the drainage system of Chesapeake B. 
This bay extends into the state for 120 mis., var- 
ies in breadth from 7 to 25 mis., and is navigable 
throughout for the largest vessels. The rivers 
which enter into it from the E. are the Poko- 
moke, Wicomico, Nanticoke, Choptank, Ches- 
ter and Elk. The Susquehanna R. intersects the 
northern part of the state for a distance of 
about 12 mis. The Gunpowder, Patapsco, Se- 
vern and Patuxent Rs. enter into Chesapeake 
B. from the W. 

The Potomac R. forms the southern boundary 
of the state, from the source of its North 
Branch to the mouth, and receives numerous 
affluents, as Savage R., W^ells Cr., Evitts Cr., 
Town Cr., Sideling Cr., Licking R., Coneeoche- 
ague R., Antietam Cr., Monocacy R., Seneca 
Cr., Piscataway Cr., Mattawaman Cr. and Ni- 
comico R. 

Climate and Vegeiaiion.— The climate of Md., 
tempered by the vicinity of the ocean and 
Chesapeake B., is on the whole mild and salu- 
brious. The mean annual temperature of the 
middle portion of the state is 5(i°, of the north- 
ern 54°, and of the highest portions in the W. 
about 50°. The rain-fall is abundant throughout 
the state and is largest on the western coasts 
of Chesapeake B., where it averages about 50 
inches. 

The state was originally covered with decid- 
uous forests, consisting of several varieties of 
oak, chestnut, cedar, poplar, maple, hickory, 
ash, beech, persimmon, sycamore, walnut, sassa- 
fras, magnolia, elm, etc. Cypress trees abound 
in the central portions and pines in the eastern. 

I'opidalion.—yLiX. had, in 1790, a population of 
319,728 ; in 1800, 341,548 ; in 1810, 3S0,.>46 ; in 1820, 
407,3.50 ; in 1830, 447,040 ; in 1840, 470,019 ; in 1850, 
58;i,034 ; in 1860, 687,049, and in 1870, 780,894. 

This number comprised 605,497 whites, 175,391 
colored persons, 2 Chinese, and 4 Indians. Re- 
garding nativity, the population was distribut- 
ed as follows : Natives of the United States, 
697,482; of the state, 629,882; of Mass., 1,212; of 
N. J., 1,853; of N. Y., 3,890; of Ohio, 1,165; of Pa., 
22,846; of Va. and W. Va., 20,2;j7, and of the 
D. C, 3 211. The foreign-born population num- 
bered 83,412, of whom 644 were born in British 
America, 47,045 in Germany, 4,8.i5 in England, 
23,630 in Ireland ; 2.432 in Scotland ; 9D4 in Wales, 
and 297 in Switzerland. 

The population of 10 years of age and more 
numbereil 575,4.39, of whom 25S,.543 were engaged 
in the useful occupations, viz.: 80,449m agrical- 
ture, 79,226 in professional and personal sei- 
viees, 35,.542 in trade and transportation, and 
63,326 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
ing industries. 

Mhiing.— The chief mineral wealth of MtL 
consists in bituminous coal and iron. The 



MARYLAND. 



547 



MARYLAND. 



western portion of the state (Allegliany co.) 
extends into the great Appalachian coal field, 
and produced, according to the last census, 
l,818,i-24 tons. Smaller quantities of coal are 
mined in Anne Arundel CO. 

Iron ore is obtained in Anne Arundel, Alle- 
ghany, Baltimore, Frederick, Carroll and Prince 
George's cos. The entire product in 1870 was 98,- 
351 tons, of $G00,-246 in value. Copper is mined 
in Carroll and Frederick cos. Nickel, cobalt 
and galena are also found in various parts of 
the stale, but not in large quantities. The 
other minerals are kaoline, or porcelain clay, 
alum, burytes, marl and ti'aces of gold. Mar- 
ble and building stones are abundant. 

Agriculture.— The soil of Md. is on the whole 
very productive. The region adjacent to Ches- 
apeake 15. consists of sand and loam, and with 
careful tillage and sufficient manuring yields 
good crops. The valleys of the higher sections 
of the state are generally very fertile. 

In 1870 the improved land amounted to 2,914,- 
007 acres, the unimproved land 16-2,584 acres, and 
the woodlanfl, 1,434,988 acres, making a total 
comprised in the farms of 4,511,579 acres. The 
value of farms was $170,369,()S4, and of farm 
productions, including additions to stock, etc., 
$35,343,927. 

The principal farm productions were : Wheat, 
.5,774,503 bush.; rye, 307,089 bush.; Indian-corn, 
11,701,817 bush.; oats, 3,2-21,643 bush.; tobacco, 15,- 
78.5,339 lbs.; wool, 435,213 lbs.; Irish pot's, 1,632,- 
205 bush.; sweet pot's, 218,705 bush.; butter, 
5j014,729 lbs. ; flax, 30,760 lbs., and hay, 223,119 tons. 

The live stock had a value of $18,433,698, and 
consisted of 89,696 horses, 9,830 mules and asses. 
94,794 milch cows, 22,4ai working oxen, 98,074 
other cattle, 129,697 sheep, and 257,893 swine. 

Manufactures. — In 1850 the value of manufac- 
tures was $33,043,892 ; in 1«J0, $41,735,157, and in 

1870, $76,593,013, thus showing a very great in- 
crease in the development ot manufactures in 
Md. during the last decade. The 5,812 establish- 
ments employed .'iSl steam-engines, with 13,961 
horse-power; 937 water-wheels, with 18,461 
horse-power and 44,860 hands. The capital in- 
vested was $36,438,729; the wages paid, $1'2,6S2,817, 
and the value of the raw materials consumed, 
^6,897,032. 

The principal products of industry and their 
values were : Cotton goods, $1,8.52,808 ; flour and 
meal, $6,786,459 ; canned fruits and vegetables, 
$1,587,230; furniture, $1,388,698; forged and rolled 
iron, $3,573,212 ; pig iron, $2,143,089 ; iron castings, 
$835,024; tanned leather, $1,265,388; curried leath- 
er, $323,368 ; distilled liquors, $889,261 ; malt 
liquors, $665,743; sawed lumber, $1,501,471; re- 
fined sugar, $7,007,y5S ; canned oysters and fish, 
$1,418,200; printing and publishing, $1,179,928; 
tin, copper antl sheet-iron ware, $1,634,009 ; chew- 
ing, smoking and snuffing tobacco, $653,760, and 
cigars, $1,108,988. 

Commerce and Railroads. — Md. possesses great 
facilities for domestic and foreign commerce. 
Its coast-line on both sides of the Chesapeake 
B. is indented by numerous bays and harbors, 
so that the larger part of the state is within 
easy distance from the sea. The Potomac, 
navigable to Washington, atfords access to the 
southern extremity, and the Chesapeake & 
Ohio Canal follows the course of the Potomac 
from Wa:^hington to Cumberland. 

In 1871 Md. had 1,416 saiung vessels, 100 steam 
vessels and 516 canal boats, with a total tonnage 
of 146,201. The registered vessels numbered 
98; the enrolled vessels, 1,474, and the licensed 
vessels, 460. The total declared value of im- 
port entries from foreign countries was $24,- 
690,234, and of domestic exports, $15,037,855. Md. 
has three custom districts, viz. : Baltimore, 
Annapolis and the Eastern (listrict. 

Md., together with the D.C., had, in 1841, 259 mis. 
of railroads: in 1851, 274 mis.; in 1861, 386; in 

1871, 820, and in 1872, 1,012. The principal line is 
the Baltimore & Ohio K. R., which has a total 



length of 617 mis., including a branch to Wash* 
ington and another to Hagerstown ; the Balti- 
more & Potomac R. R., from Baltimore to 
Pope's Creek, with a branch to Washington (92 
mis.); the Western Maryland R. R., from Relay 
to Hagerstown (66 mis.); the Cumberland & 
Pennsylvania R. R. (50% mis.); the Dorchester H 
Delaware R. R. (33 mis.); Eastern Shore R. R. (40

MASSACHUSETTS, one of the New Eng- 
land states, and one of the 13 original states of 
the Union; lies between 41° 15' and 42° 55' N. lat., 
and between 69° 56' and 73° 31' "W. long. Its 
length from E. to "W. is about 160 mis. Its width 
in the eastern partis 115 mis.; in the western, 47 
mis. It has an area of 7,800 sq. mis. The sea- 
shore is very irregular. The south-eastern part 
of the state forms a narrow peninsula, which 
projects in an easterly direction and termin- 
ates with Cape Cod. It is joined to the main 
land by an isthmus which separates Cape Cod 
B. from Buzzard's B. Massachusetts B. foima 
a large indentation S. of Cape Ann. Martha'a 
Vineyard and Nantucket are two islands which 
lie south-east of the main-land of the state. The 
Elizabeth Islands bound Buzzard's B. on the 
south and are separated from Martha's Vine- 
yard by Vineyard Sound. 

(SMJ-/ace.— Tiie surface of Massachusetts is 
greatl.y diversified. Two chains of the Green 
Mts. traverse the western part of the state 
from N. to S. The western chain, called the 
Taghkanic, or Taconic, Mts. trend along or near 
the boundary. The highest ]ieaks are Saddle 
Mt. 3,505 feet high, and Mt. Wasliington, '2,6'24 
feet high. The eastern chain, called the Hoosic 
Mts., is broader than the western, although less 
elevated, and is noted for its magnificent 
scenery. Sugarloaf Mt. and Mt. Tom, 1,214 feet, 
rising on the banks of the Connecticut R., are 
isolated peaks. Further to the E., and separat- 
ed from the Hoosic Mt. by the rich valley of 
the Connecticut R., extends a wide belt of hills 
and mountains, the highest of which are Mt. 
Wachusett, (2,018 feet high), and Mt. Holyoke. 
From this belt, which has a height of about 1,100 
feet, the country slopes gradually toward the 
sea-coast. The south-eastern part of the state is 
low and sandy. 

Sivers and Lakes— The Connecticut is the 
largest R. in Massachusetts. It traverses the 
western part of the state from N. to S., and has 
so great a fall as to render it unnavigable. The 
largest tributaries from the "W. are the Deer- 
field R., which rises in Vermont, and the West- 
field R., which rises in the Hoosic Mt. The 
Chicopee and Miller's Rs. enter the Connec- 
ticut from the E. The Housatonic R. flows 
through the valley lying between the Taconic ' 
and Hoosic Mts. Merrimac R. belongs in its 
lower course to this state and flows parallel to 
the N. E. boundary. It receives the Nashua and 
Concord Rs. from Ihe S. W.. TheBlackstone R. 
flows through the central part of the state from 
N. to S., and passes through Rhode Island. The 
Taunton R. in the S. E. part enters Mt. Hope 
B. in Rhode Island. Charles R. and Mystic R. 
empty into Boston B., which forms the 
western extension of Massachusetts B. None 
of the Rs. of this state are navigable, but they 
afl'ord a large amount of valuable watei'-power. 
Massachusetts abounds in small lakes and 
ponds, especially the south-eastern and western 
parts of the state. 

CTimate.— Massachusetts lias a cool climate. 
The winters are long and severe, the summers 
short and warm. Snow falls usually during 
seven months, from October to April. The 
mean annual temperature in the N. W. part of 
the state is 45°, in the S. E. part 50°. July is 
the hottest month in Boston, with a mean tem- 
perature of 73° ; January the coldest, with a 
mean temperature of 28°. The mercury 
occasionally falls to 10° below zero, in v.'inter, 
and rises in summer to 100°, thus showing a 
range between extremes in Boston of 110°. 
The amount of yearly precipitation (rain and 

snow) varies from 40 inches in depth in eastern 

Massachusetts to 43J^ inches in western, and is 

nearly equally distributed through the seasons. 

In the eastern part of the state north-westerly 

winds prevail during 150 days, and southwest- 



lyiASSACHUSETTS. 

eily during 70 rlays. Cold and jiiercin^ east- 
eily -winds are of frequent occux-rence in the 
spring. 

The Populalion of Mass. lias increased steadi- 
ly, though not as rapidly as some of the west- 
ern states. In 1790 it was 378,787 ; in 1800, 4'J2,Sht5 ; 
in 1810, 47'2,0W; in 1820, 523,159 ; in 1830, 610,408; in 
ISIO, 737,099; in 1850, 994,514 ; in 1860, 1,231,066, and 
in 1870, 1,457,351. This last number comprises 
1,443,156 whites, 13,947 colored persons, 97 Chi- 
nese and Japanese, and 151 Indians, As regards 
nativity, the population of 1870 is distributed 
as follows : natives of the United States, 1,104,- 
032 (including 896,372 natives of Mass.) ; natives 
of foreign countries, 3.53,319, including 70,045 
Britisli Americans, 1,627 Frenchmen. 13,072 Ger- 
mans, 31,099 Englishmen, 216,120 Irishmen, 9,003 
Scotchmen, 302 Norwegians, 1,384 Swedes, and 
491 Swiss. 

The population of 10 years and over, in 1870, 
numbered 1,160,666, and of these nearly one- 
half, or 579,844, are engaged in some of the use- 
ful occupations, viz.: 72,810 in agriculture, 131,- 
291 in professional and personal services, 83,078 
in trade and transportation, and 292,665 in manu- 
factures and mechanical industries. 

AgricnUure.-T\\n most fertile sections of Mass. 
are the valleys of the Connecticut and other 
rivers ; but the greater part of the state is 
moderately productive. Hence large quantities 
of grain, ilour, pork, beef, etc., are imported 
from the more favored regions of the west. 

Mass. had, in 1870, 26,500 farms, of which 8,381 
had from 20 to 50 acres ; 8,727 from 50 to 100 acres, 
and 5,643 from 100 to 500 acres. Only 3 farms 
had over 1,000 acres, and 40 over 500 acres. 

The number of acres of land in farms was 
2,730,283 acres, of which 1,736,221 were improved, 
706,714 were woodland, antl 287,318 were unim- 
proved. The cash value of farms was $116,432,784 ; 
of implements, $.5,000,879, and of all farm pro- 
ductions, including betterments, etc., iji;{2,192,378. 

The principal agricultural products were : 
17,547 bush, of spring wheat; 17,074 busli. of 
winter Avheat ; 239,227 bush, of rye ; 1,397,807

Manvfaclu7-es.—ln proportion to area and 
number of inhabitants, Mass. is the first manu-

New London, New Bedford, Nantucket, Mar- 
tha's Vineyard and other sea-ports are exten- 
sively engaged in the fisheries, partly for 
"Whales in the South Pacific Ocean, partly for 
mackerel, cod-flsh, etc., in the waters adjacent 
to our northern coasts. In 1865 the number of

The steady and rapid progress of the state in 
the development of manufactures is shown by 
comparing the annual values of i^roducts for 
different years. In 18;{8 this was about $86,000,- 
000 ; in 1845, $124,000,000 ; in ISoo, $295,000,000, and 
in 1865, $517,000,000. The last decade exhibits an 
increase of 72 per cent., while the population, 
during the same period increased but 3 per cent. 

Commerce and MaUroads. — Mass. has, next to 
N. Y., the most extensive foreign commerce of 
any slate in the Union. In 1871 the foreign goods 
imported had a value of $54,329,107, and the 
domestic goods exported, $13,234,993. It has ten 
ports of entry, or custom districts, of which 
Boston is by far the most important. The num- 
ber of vessels entering into the ports of the 
state was 4,019, and of vessels cleared from the 
ports, 3,755. On the 30th of June, 1871, Mass. had

ly enlarged. In 1841 the total railroad mileage 
was 373 mis.; in 1851, 1,038 mis.; in 1861, 1,264 iris.t 
in 1872, 1 612 mis. The principal lines are : Tho

it will be the longest in the world. By means 
cf it Boston will be brought into shorter and 
more direct communication Avith Chicago than 
New York city. The entire work will be com- 
pleted in 1874. 

JEdtication.—'Masa. has established educational 
institutions of all grades and for all classes, and 
maintains them with gieat liberality. The 
Board of Education consists of the Governor, 
Lieutenant-Governor, and 8 members appointed 
by the Governor and Council. It has the 
general oversight of the public schools and 
educational statistics, and receives the reports 
•which the persons in charge of every institu- 
tion of learning in the state^ are reciuired by 
law to make.

the state, and $19.39 for each person between 
the ages of 5 and 15 years. 

The aggregate amount of money from all 
sources expended for popular education in 
private schools, academies and public schools,

since the abolition of the alms houses at Mon- 
son and Bridgewater, maintains about 800 pau- 
pers, of whom nearly two-fifths are insane or 
Imbecile persons. At Worcester, Taunton and 
Nortlvampton are State Lunatic Hospitals, and

MICMIOAN, one of the N. central states ; 
consists of two large, ii-regular peninsulas. 
The northern or upper peninsula is bounded on 
the S. W. by Wis., on the N. by Lake Superior, 
on tlie E. by St. Mary's R., and on the S. by Lake 
Micliigan, the Strait of Mackinaw and Lake Hu- 
ron. The southern or lower peninsula is 
bounded on the S. by Ohio and Ind., on the W. 
by Lake Michigan, and on the E. by Lake Erie, 
the Detroit R., Lake St. Clair, St. Clair R. and 
Lake Huron. The state extends from 41° 30' to 
47° 31' N. lat., and from 82° 24' to 90° 33' W. long., 
and includes the Isle Roj-ale in Lake Superior, 
which is intersected by the 4Sth parallel. The 
area is 56,451 sq. mis., or 36,128,640 acres. 

Surface.— Tha upper peninsula has a broken 
and often rocky surface. The part which lies 
E. of a line drawn from Marquette to the mouth 
of the Monomonee R. has no elevations of more 
than 400 feet in height above tlie level of Lake 
Superior. The part lying W. of said line in- 
cludes several irregular mountain ranges,whicli 
attain a height of 800 and in a few cases of 1,400 
feet above the lake level. The water-shed of 
the peninsula lies much nearer to the northern 
6hore than to the southern, thus indicating the 
fact that tlie descent is gradual toward Lake 
Michigan and uiore rapidly falling otf toward 
Lake Superior. The shores of this lake abound 
in bold and picturesque scenery. Sixty mis. E. 
Of Sault St. Mary are tLe famous "Pictured 



Rocks," masses of variegated sandstone re- 
sembling ruined castles and temples. 

The lower peninsula is more level and offers 
greater attractions to the farmer and settler 
than the upper. The northern in the highest 
portion rarely exceeds 500 feet above the lakes, 
and gives rise to numerous streams flowing 
from it in all directions. The southern portion 
is lower, and is either slightlj^ undulating or 
nearlj^ level. 

Rivers and Lakes.— The rivers of the upper pe- 
ninsula take their rise from numerous lases and 
marshes dispersed over the plateau. None cf 
them are navigable for anything larger than a 
canoe. Those entering into LaKe Superior es- 
pecially have numerous rapids and cascades. 
Yet in the spring, when the waters are high, 
these rivers are of great economical value, as 
they alford facilities for floating the logs trom 
the interior to the saw-mills sprung up at the 
mouth of almost every larger water-course, 
whose branches reach back into the pine lands. 
Tlie following empty into Lake Superior: 
Montreal R., separating Mich, froni Wis., Pres- 
que' Isle R., Ontonagon R., Sturgeon R., empty- 
ing into Kewaunee B., and Tequamenon R. The 
following empty into Green B. and Lake Michi- 
gan : Menomonee R., flowing along the Wis. 
boundary, Escanaba R., White Fish R., Stur- 
geon R., Maiiistique R., Carp R. and Pine R. 

The streams of tlie lower peninsula are larger 
than the preceding, and several of them are 
navigable. The following empty into Lake 
Michigan: Manistee R., Pere Marquette R., 
White R., Muskegon R., Grand R., which re- 
ceives Thornapple R.; Kalamazoo R. and St. 
Joseph R. Into Lake Huron empty Cheboygan 
R., Thunder Bay R., Au Sable R., Ilifle R., Sagi- 
naw R., which empties into Saginaw B., receives 
Chippewa R. with Tittibawasse and Pine Rs., 
and is formed by the confluence of tlie Flint and 
Shiawassee Rs.; Black R. and Belle R. empty 
into R. St. Clair ; Huron R. and Raisin R. into 
Lake Erie, and Clinton R. into Lake St. Clair. 

Climate and Vegetation.— The climate of Mich, 
is milder than in the same latitudes farther E., 
owing to the proximity of the great lakes. The 
upper peninsula, however, has verj' rigorous 
winters. At Ontonagon the mean annual tem- 
perature in 1870 was 44° 33'; the highest temper- 
ature, 90°, the lowest, —24°, showing a ran;:'e be- 
tween extremes of 114°. At Grand Rapicls the 
mean annual temperature was 50.7° ; the high- 
est temperature 102°, and the lowest —10°, show- 
ing a range of 112^. Southerly and westerly 
winds greatly prevailed at both places. 

The upper peniasulais almost wholly covered 
with unbroken pine foi-ests. The lower penin- 
sula also has extensive forests, consisting of 
pines in the northern part and of deciduous 
trees in the soutliern; but they are diversified 
by those beautiful prairie lawns, known as 
" oak openings." 

Fopulaiion. — Mich, is rapidly increasing in 
population and wealth. In 1810 it had 4,762 in- 
habitants ; in 1820, 8,765 ; in 1830, 31,639 : in 1840, 
212.267 ; in 1850, 397,654; in 1860, 749,113 and in 1870, 
1,184,059, besides 3,175 Indiajis living on reserva- 
tions and sustaining tribal relations. The 
whites numbered 1,167,282; the colored persons 
11,849 and the Indians out of tribal relations, 
4,926. 

In regard to nativities the following numbers 
are given in the last census report : Born in the 
United States, 916,049 ; of whom 507,268 were bom 
in Mich.; 7,412 in Conn.; 692 in Del.; 6,055 in 111.; 
12,140 in Ind.; 1,486 in Iowa ; 1,719 in Ky.; 3,932 in 
Me.: 1,265 in Md.; 10,839 in Mass.; 666 in Mo.; 3,633 
in N. H.; 8^023 in N. J.; 231,509 in N. Y.; 62.207 in 
Ohio; 28,507 in Pa.; 1,137 in R. I.; 687 in Tenu.; 
14,445 in Vt.; 2,984 in Va. and W. Va., luul .5^986 in 
Wis. The foreign-born population was 268,010 ; 
of whom 88,590 are natives of British Ajneriea^

The population of 10 years and over numbered 
873,763, of wliom 404,164 were engaged in the use- 
ful occupations, viz.: 187,211 in agriculture, 104,-

J/imng'.— Jlich. is one of the most favored 
states of the Union with regard to mineral 
treasures, and it is the western part of the upper 
peninsula which v^ especially rich in them. The 
copper deposits whicli abunilantly occur in the 
belt of country from Keweenaw Point to the 
western borders of the state are the richest in 
the world. During the 20 years closing with 
1685 76,107 tons of copper were shipped from the 
three ports ol Ontonagon, Keweenaw and Port- 
age Lake, and in the year 1868 alone, 7,500 tons. 

In Marquette co. .are found large deposits of 
iron. The vield for the 7 years closing with 
1S62 was 414,136 tons, and during 1S66, 296,872 tons 
of ore and 18,437 of pig iron. In quality tlie iron 
of this state ranks with the finest in the world. 
The northern part of the lower peninsula con- 
tains productive coal measures of great extent. 
Near Saginaw a very fine salt is obtained. 
The product was ,5.30,000 barrels in 1865, 407,997 
barrels in 1S66, 474,721 barrels in 1867, and 577,569 
barrels in 1869. 

Limbering is one of the principal sources of 
wealth in the state, and has been steadily in- 
creasing for years past. In 1866 the vield was 
1,125,000,000 feet ; in 1S67, 1,400,000,000, and in 1868, 
2,000,000,000. 

Agriculture. — The upper peninsula is too rug- 
ged, and has too sterile a soil for the purposes 
ot the farmer or stock raiser ; but the lower 
peninsula, including about three-fifths of the 
area of the state, is very productive, and in its 
southern portion includes nearlj' the whole of 
the population and of the improvements of the 

The farms include 10,027,142 acres, of which 
5,096,939 are improved ; 842,057 unimproved and 
4,080,146 woodland. The cash value of farms in 
1870 was $398,240,578, and of farm implements, 
$13,711,979. Tlie estimated value of all farm 
productions, including additions to stock, was 
$81,508,()23, and of orchard products, $3,447,985. 

The Avheat yield of Mich, is surpassed by but 
few other states. It was, in 1870, 268,810 bush. 
of spring wheat, and 15,996,963 of winter wheat. 
The other productions were : rye, 144,.50S bush.; 
Indian-corn, 14,086,238 bush.; oats, 8,954,466 bush.; 
barley, 834,,558 bush.; Irish pot's, 10,318,799 bush.; 
tobacco, 5.385 lbs.; butter, 24,400,185 lbs.; hay, 
1,290,923 tons, and wool, 8,726,145 lbs. Wool 
growing is a leading agricultural interest of 
the state. Southern Mich, has become one of 
the greatest apple growing regions of the Union. 
Peaches are raised successfully in the region 
bordering on Lake Michigan as far N. as Grand 
Traverse J?., while pears, plums, cherries. 
Quinces and other varieties of fruit are grown 
throughout the state. The culture of the grape 
has been successfully introduced into the val- 
leys which open out on Lake Michigan ; and the 
more hardy species grow in the interior. 

In 1870 the live stock of the state had a value 
of $49,809,869, and comprised 228,302 horses, 2,353 
mules and asses, 250,859 luilch cows, 36,499 work- 
ing oxen, 260,171 other cattle, 1,985,906 sheep and 
417,811 swine. 

Manufactures.— "Mich, has progressed most 
rapidly in the development of its manufactur- 
ing interests. In 1850 the total value of the 
manufactures was $11,169,001 ; in 1860, $32,658,356 ; 
and in 1870 it had nearly quadrupled, being 
Jill 8.394,676. The 2,215 steam-engines had 70,956 
horse-power, and the 9,455 establishments em- 
ployed 63,694 hands, and consumed materials to 
the amount of $68,142,515. Tlie capital invested 
was $71,712,283, and the wages paid, $21,205,3.55. 

The principal protlucts of industry and their 



values were as follows: Agricultural imple- 
ments, $1,. 569,596 ; boots and shoes, $2,552,931 ; car- 
pentering and building,$3,976,333 ; carriages and 
wagons, $2,393,328 ; freight and passenger cars, 
$1,488,724; men's clothing, $2,423,170; copper, 
milled and smelted, $9,260,976 ; flour and meal, 
$21,174,247 ; furniture, $1,630,199 ; forged and rolled 
iron, $780,750; pig iron, $2,911,515; iron castings, 
$2,0S2,.5.32 ; leather, $2,670,608 ; beer, $1,216,286 ; lum- 
ber, $33,078,241 ; machinery, $1,355,371 ; salt, $1,176,- 
811 ; sash, doors and blinds, $1,868,596, and to- 
bacco and cigars, $1,849,383. 

Commerce and Railroads. — The commercial 
position of the state is very advantageous, 
surrounded by the great lakes, its coasts areia 
direct water communication with New York, 
while its railroads and canals facilitate an iui' 
mense internal commerce. It has four ports of 
entry: Detroit, Huron, Superior and Michigan, 
into"which entered, in 1871, foreign goods or 
$2,323,542 in value, and from whicn wliere ex- 
ported domestic goods of $3,605,025 in value. 

The first 24 mis. of R. II. were completed in 
1840 ; 10 j^ears later the mileage was 342. From 
1869, when the mileage was 1,199, to 1873, Jan. 1, 
1,808 mis. were constructed, or 150 per cent, more 
than the aggregate length constructed during 
the whole previous historj- of the state. The 
governor estimates the cost of the roads built 
during the four years at $54,000,000. 

The principal roads are the following : The 
Detroit & Milwaukee R. R. (189 mis.); the Flint 
& Pere Marquette R. R. (232 nils.); the Jackson, 
Lansing* Saginaw R.R. (208rals.);theMarquette 
Houghton & Ontonagon R. R. (49 mis.); the 
Michigan Central R. R.(285mls.);the Port Huron 
& Lake Miehimin R. R. (66 mis.); and the Detroit 
Lansing & Lake Michigan R. R., 164 mis. 

Education.— '^iich. has always supported and 
fostered public schools and higher institu- 
tions of learning with the greatest-liberality. 
The State University at Ann Arbor is the largest 
college W. of the Alleghany Mts. aud ranks with 
the foremost institutions of its kind in the 
country. In 1870 it had 1,126 students and 34 
professors. The number of students in the de- 
partment of science, literature and the arts was 
477 ; in that of medicine and surgery 340 ; and in 
that of law 309. The total receipts for 1872 were 
$76,3.59, and the expenses $92,000, leaving a defi- 
ciency of $15,640. Tlie university admits lady 
students. 

The Agricultural College, located at Lansing 
was established in 1863, and has an endowment 
of 240,000 acres. It had, in 1870, 7 professors and 
142 students. The three other colleges of Mich, 
are at Kalamazoo, Albion and Olivet. The 
State Normal school at Ypsilanti was opened 
in 1854, and embraces a training course and a 
higher course. In the experimental school the 
pupils of the Normal School practice actual 
teaching. 

The school population from 5 to 20 years of 
age was, in 1870, 384,546, of whom 278,685 attended 
the public schools. The number of male teach- 
ers was 2,793, and of female teachers 8,221. The 
estimated number of pupils attending private 
schools was 9,613. The number of school-houses 
was 5,111, 109 more than in the preceding year 
(1869). The value of school-houses was $6,243,797 ; 
total resources for school purposes, $3,154,221. 

Charitable and Penal Institutiotis.—The Asylum

Western Union R. R. and of tlie Detroit & 
Milwaukee R. R., and is connected by steamers 
"With the principal ports on the lake. Its har- 
bor is capacious and safe. 

The imports from foreign countries, in 1872, 
had a value of $130,063, and the exports to 
foreign countries of $1,464,972. 

The city is pleasantly located upon both 
banks of the river. It is a prominent wheat 
market, and has immense facilities for stor- 
age and shipment. The river affords fine 
water-power, which is turned to account by 
extensive manufactories. The city has many 
substantial public buildings, hotels and pri- 
vate residences. The United States Custom 
House, which embraces the Post-offlce and 
United States Courts, is a handsome structure 
of Athens stone. Among the 60 church build- 
ings belonging to the different denomina- 
tions, several are renaarkable for beauty and 
design, as the new Baptist Church and the 
Catholic Cathedral of St. John. 

M. was settled in 1835, incorporated in 1846, 
and had, in 1870, a population of 71,450 ; in 1800, 
45,140 : in 1850, 19,963, being the largest city in 
the state and the nineteenth in the Union. 
According to the last census, the native 
population was 37,667, of whom 37,499 were 
whites, and only 167 colored persons. The 
natives of foreign countries numbered 33,773, 
of whom 22,599 were Germans, 1,395 English- 
men, 3,784 Irishmen, 423 Scotchmen, and 692 
Dutchmen. In the various classes of useful 
occupations there were engaged 23,119 persons,

MINNESOTA lies near the center of the con- 
tinent, and is bounded on the N.by British Amer- 
ica, from which it is partly separated by the Pig- 
eon R. antl the sei'ies of lakes and portages ex- 
tendingfrom that river westward to RainyLake. 
The boundaiy then follows Rainy Lake and its 
outlet. Rainy Lake R., to the large Lake of the 
Woods. The eastern boundary is formed by 
Lake Superior and the state of Wis., from -whicu 
Minn, is divided by the St. Croix and Missis- 
sippi Rs. From Dak. Ter., in the W., Minn, is 
separated by the Red River of the North, the 
Bois des Sioux R., Lake Traverse and Big Stone 
Lake, and on the S. it is bounded by Iowa. 
It extends from 43° 30' to 49° N. lat., and from 
89° 29' to 97° 5' W. long., and has an area of 83,531 
sq. mis., or 53,459,840 acres. 

iSur/ace. — The surface of the state is undulat- 
ing and resembles the rolling prairies of the 
adjoining states of Iowa and Wis. It has no 
mountains, yet the general evenness of the sur- 
face is broken by that broad swell of the ground 
which intersects the northern portion, and is 
known as the "Hauteurs des Terres," or the 
Height of Land. This height gives rise to the 
head streams of the Mississippi and tlie affluents 
of Lake Winnepeg and rarely exceeds 1,500 feet 
in elevation above the sea. "Lake Itaska, com- 
monly regarded as the source of the Mississippi, 
lies within the heights and is 1,680 feet high. 

Rivers and Lakes. — Minn, has five navigable 
rivers. The Mississippi, rising on the Height 
of Land, takes from Lake Itasca a circular 
sweep northward, and then pursues a general 
southern course, running through the state for 
about 800 mis., of which 130 wash the eastern 
boundary. It is navigable in all about 510 mis. 
in the state, which distance, however, is inter- 
rupted by the Falls of St. Anthony, near Min- 
neapolis. The St. Croix R., rising in northern 
Wis., flows southward and forms, for 128 mis., 
the boundary between Wis. and Minn. It is 
navigable for 53 mis. 

The Minnesota R., the principal tributary of 
the Mississippi in the state, rises in Coteau des 
Prairies, in Dak. Ter., and after passing through 
Big Stone Lake, flows S. E. as far as Mankato, 
where it sharply turns N. E. and empties 5 luls; 
above St. Paul, after a course of 470 mis., 300 of 
which are navigable in the wet season and about 
50 in the dryest months of the year. 

The Red River of the North rises in the 
Height of Land near the source of the Missis- 
sippi, and, after sweeping to the S. and the W. 
to Breckinridge, flows due N., along the bound- 
ary of Minn., a distance of 380 mis. It i« uavi- 
gaole in most seasons about 250 mis. The St. 
Louis 11., which joins the western extremity of 
Lake Superior, is navigable for 21 mis. 

The large rivers here mentioned receive nu. 
merous smaller streams, watering every por 
tion of the state and atfording (excellent facili 
ties for lumbering, manufacturing iin<l farming

R., 'Wild Rice R., Red Lalre R., tlic outlet of the 
large lake of the same name, and Swamp, or 
Tamarao, R. The Mississippi receives Swan R., 
Rum R., the outlet of the large lake called 
Mille Lacs, Pine R., Crow Wing R., with Leaf 
and Long Prairie Rs.; Sauk R., Crow R., Cannon 
R., Zumbro R. and Root R. The principal tribu- 
taries of the Minnesota R. are Pomme de Terre 
R., Chippewa R., Lac qui Parle R., Yellow Medi- 
cine R., Redwootl R., Big Cottonwood R. and 
Blue Earth R.; and those of the St. Croix are 
Kettle R. and Snake R. 

The almost numberless lakes, varying from 1 
to 30 mis. in diameter, form a marked feature 
in the scenery of the state. Their water is re- 
markably clear and pure, resting upou basins 
of sand and pebbles, among which jasper, agate 
and cornelian are often tound. These lakes 
abound with the very best varieties offish, and 
are the resorts in spring and autumn of wild 
geese, ducks and other water fowl. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of Minn, 
is healthy and invigorating. The atmosphere 
in summer is clear, cool and pleasant, with 
westerly, south-westerlj"- and southerly breezes. 
The nights are always cool and bracing. The 
winters are rigorous and marked by extreme 
dri'ness. The greater ciuantity of rain or mois- 
ture falls during the season of vegetation from 
May to September. 

The mean summer temperature is about 70.50° 
and corresponds with that of contral Wis. and 
southern Pa. The mean winter temperature is 
16.10°, corresponding with that of northern Wis. 
and southern Vt. The mean annual tempera- 
ture is 44.U0°. 

Minn, is neither a timber nor a prairie state, 
but possesses in a large degree the advantages 
of both. It is estimated that about one-thn-d 
of the area is covered with forest growth, while 
two-thirds are open prairies. The Height of 
Land and the region in which rise the upper tri- 
butaries of the Mississippi and St. Croix Rs. are 
known as the " pinei-egion," comprising an es- 
timated area of 21,000 sq. mis. On both sides of 
the Minnesota R. extend the so-called "big 
woods," a region covered with deciduous for- 
ests, including an area of al)0ut 5,000 sq. mis. 
Many of the prairies of Minn, are dotted with 
small bodies of wood, or scattered trees, and 
have the general character of well kept and 
handsomely laid out parks. 

Wild animals yet abound on the prairies and 
in the forests, among which are deer, bears, 
■wolves, foxes, wild cats, raccoons and rabbits. 
The streams are frequented by tlie otter, mink, 
beaver and muskrat. Pigeons, grouse and par- 
tridges are auaong the feathered game. 

Popxdation.—'She growth of Minn, in popula- 
tion has been very i-apid, and as there are yet 
millions of acres of the greatest fertility await- 
ing settlers, it promises to be equally rapid in 
the future. When in 1S49 it was erected into a 
territory, it had but 4,057 inhabitants. In 1S50 
there were 6,077 ; in 1860, 172,023, and in 1870, 439,- 
706, thus showing an increase during the last 
two decades of 2,766, and 156 per oent. respect- 
ively. In 1870 the population consisted of 438,257 
Avhites, 759 colored persons, and 690 Indians out 
of tribal relations ; there were, besides. 6,350 
Indians living on reservations and at agencies. 
The nativities, according to the census, were as 
follows: natives of the United States, 279,009; 
of the state, 125,759 ; of Conn., 2,359 ; of 111., 10,979 : 
of Ind., 7,43S ; of Iowa, 3,970 ; of Ky., 1,733 ; of Me., 
9,939; of Md,, 719; of Mass., 5,731 ; of Mich., 3,742; 
of Mo., 1,447; of N. H., 3,271 ; of JST. J., 1,348; of 
N. Y., 39,506 ; of X. C, 438 ; of Ohio, 12,650 ; of Pa., 
11,966 ; of R. L, 564; of Tenn., ,320; of Yt., 6,815; 
of the Virginias, 1,812, and of Wis., 24,048. 

The foreign-born population numbered 160,- 
697, of whom were born in Austria, 2,647 ; in Bo- 
hemia, 2,166; in British America, 16,698 ; in Den- 
jnark, 1,910; in France, 1,743; in Germany, 41,- 
»4U; iu England, 5,670; in Ireland, 21,746; in 



Scotland, 2,194 ; in Wales, 944 ; in Holland, 1,855 ; 
in Luxemburg, 1,173; in Norwav, 35,940; in Swe- 
den, 20,087, and in Switzerland, 2,162. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
amounted to 305,568; of whom 132,657 pursued 
some one of the useful occupations. In agricul 
ture were engaged 75,157 ; in professional and 
personal services, 28,330 ; iu trade and transpor- 
tation, 10,582, and in manufactures and mechan- 
ical and mining industries, 18,588. 

IFmerals and -il/inuifif.— Copper abounds in tho 
mineral belt stretching along the northern 
shore of Lake Superior, and large masses of the 
pure metal have been taken from Knip and 
Stuart Rs. Iron ore is found in considerable 
quantity near Portage and Pigeon Rs., and 
yields metal fully equal to the best Swedish or 
Russian iron. A coal bed has been discovered 
in Brown co., on Cottonwood R., in the vicinity 
of New Ulm, but thus far the state is supplied 
with this indispensable mineral from the great 
coal fields of Iowa. Gold and silver exist, but 
the attempts to extract them have not been re- 
munerative. The numerous Salt Springs of the 
Red River Valley yield one bushel of good salt 
to 24 gals, of brine ; and a joint stock company 
is prosecuting the manufacture of salt from the 
springs near Belle Plaine on the Minnesota R. 
Excellent limestone for building purposes is 
found in immense outcroppings below the Falls 
of St. Anthony : and at St. Peter a %'ariety oc- 
curs which resembles marble and is suscepti- 
ble of a flue polish. 

AgrieiUlure.—The extraordinary development 
of Minn, is shown by the enlargement of its 
cultivated area and the increase of its farm 
productions. In 1860 the improved lands of the 
state measured 556,250 acres ; in 1870, 2,322,102 
acres, an increase of 363 per cent. The wood- 
land in the latter year amounted to 1,336,299 
acres, and the unimproved land, 2,825,427, mak- 
ing a grand total ot 6,483,828 acres, comprised 
in farms, or nearly 12 per cent, of the whole area 
of the state. The cash value of farms was 
$97,847,422 ; of agricultural implements, $6,721,- 
120, and of farm productions, including addi- 
tions to stock, etc., 1:33,446,400. The pmncipal 
farm products were : Winter wheat, 76,885 bush.; 
spring wheat, 18,789,188 bush.; rye, 78,088 bush.; 
Indian-corn, 4,74.3,117 bush.; barlev, 1,032,024 
bush.; tobacco, 8,247 lbs.; wool, 401,185 lbs.; Irish 
pot's, 1,943,063 bush.; butter, 9,522,010 lbs.; cheese, 
233,977 lbs.; hay, 695,053 tons ; hops, 222,065 lbs., 
and flax, 122,571 lbs. 

The live stock had a value of $20,118,841, and 
comprised 93,011 horses, 2,350 mules and asses, 
121,467 milch cows, 43,176 working oxen, 145,736 
other cattle, 132,343 sheep, and 148,473 swine. 

Fruit-growing is a protitable branch of indus- 
try in Minn. The more hardy varieties of ap- 
ples, pears, cherries, grapes, and the small 
fruits generally, succeed well. Tho apple crop 
of 1871 is estimated at 30,000 bushels. The cran- 
berry marshes are so vast that Minn, has 
sometimes been called the " Cranberry State." 
Strawberries are found wild in large quantities, 
and all the cultivated vai-ieties of unexcelled 
quality are grown extensively. 

Manufactures.— Qveat progress has already 
been made in manufacturing industry, and tho 
immense water-power, the mineral and agri- 
cultural resources, the commercial advantages, 
and the enterprising character of tlie northern 
P-'ople, by whom Minn, is settled, indicate 
that it is destined to become conspicuous as a 
manufacturing state. At the Falls of St. 
Anthony 100,000 horse-power could easily be 
utilized, and hardly less is alTorded by the St. 
Croix Falls, and by several other of the largo 
streams of the state. 

According to the last census report, Minn, 
had 2,270 manufacturing establishments, which 
employed 246 steam-engines of 7,085 horse- 
power: 434 water- vvheels of 13,054 horse-power, 
and 11,290 workmen. The capital invested in

maimfixctures was §11,993,729 ; the wages paid, 
fe4,052,s37 ; the cost Of raw materials consumed, 
$13,S3:,902, and the total value of products, $23,- 
110,700, an increase for the preceding decade of 
693 per cent. 

The principal products of industry and their 
value were : Boots and shoes, $653,163 ; carpen- 
tering and building, $1,007,203 ; carriages and 
wagons, $519,508 ; cars, $788,300 ; flour and meal, 
$7,534,575, and sawed lumber, $4,299,162. 

Commerce and Hailroads.— The comm.ercial 
position of Minn, is very favorable. Occupying 
the center of the continent, and including the 
water-shed of its eastern half, the steam navi- 
gation of three great river systems terminates 
here, viz.: The Mississippi K., northward from 
the Gulf of Mexico ; the Red Eiver of the North, 
southward from Hudson's B., and the St. 
Lawrence R., with the chain of gi-eat lakes, 
westward from the Atlantic. 

St. Paul is the only customs district in the 
state, and had, in 1871, 02 steamboats -nath 
10,864 tons, and 77 barges with 9,195 tons. Dur- 
ing the season of 1S70, 10 steamboats were 
trading with Duluth ; in 1871 the number was 
increased to 26. The export of grain, reducing 
flour to wheat, was, in 1871, 2,279,966 bush. On 
the Red R. three steamers were plying be- 
tween Breckinridge, Moorhead and Fort 
Garry. 

The first mile of railroad was completed in 
1862, and 10 years later Minn, had 1,612 mis., of an 
assessed value of $84,135,332, carrying 774,289 
tons of freight ami 611,711 passengers. The 
following are the principal lines: Southern 
Minnesota R. R. from Graud Crossing on the 
Mississippi through the southern tier of coun- 
ties (167^ mis.), with a branch from Wells to 
Mankato in course of construction ; the Winona 
& St. Peter R. R., running about 20 mis. N. of 
and parallel with the above road (200 mis.); the 
Hastings & Dakota R. R., from Hastings to 
Glencoe (74 mis.); the Minneapolis & St. Louis R. 
R., from Minneapolis to Carver (27 mis.), and 
soon to be completed to a point on the Iowa 
Central R. R.; the St. Paul & Sioux City R. R. 
(270 mis.); the Milwaukee &St. PaulR. R.,from 
Minneapolis & St. Paul, southward through 
Iowa to McGregor on the Mississippi R., and 
thence to Milwaukee (152 mis. in Mmn.); the 
Chicago & St. Paul R. R., from St. Paul to 
Winona on the Mississippi R.; the St. Paul, 
Stillwater & Taylor's FaUs I^. R. (20 mis.); the 
Lake Superior & Mississippi R. R. from St. Paul 
to Duluth (150 mis.); the St. Paul& Pacific R. R., 
from St. Paul to Breckinridge (217 mis.), with a 
Branch to Sauk Rapids (66 mis.), and the St. Vin- 
cent Branch in process of construction ; and 
uhe Northern Pacific R. R., from Dulirth to the 
Pacific Ocean (1,775 mis.), of which 255 mis. are 
within the state. 

Education.— In 1S51 the Legislature provided 
for the establishment of the Universitj' of Min- 
nesota, and in 1S54 the building was begun on an 
eminence commanding a view of the FaUs of 
St. Anthony. After manj' struggles, the insti- 
tution is now in full operation, with a classical, 
agricultural and military establishment. It 
has 11 professors and 371 students. 

Three Normal Schools are in operation : the 
first at Winona, the second at Mankato, and 
the third at St. Cloud. The attendance was, in 
1871, 498 students. 

An excellent system of public schools has 
been established in the state. In 1871 the num- 
ber of school-districts was 2,732 (against 1,685 in 
1863) ; the number of persons of school a^e, 
167,463, of whom 113,983 attended the public 
schools. The 4.385 teachers were, in the aggre- 

gate, paid $540,;!SS, and the 2,310 school-houses 
ad a value of $1,758,133. 

The most prominent among the private and 
and higher institutions of learning are : Carle- 
ton Colli_;ge, at Xorthfield ; Groveland Semi- 
nary, at Wasioja ; Aftou Academy, at Afton ; 



St. Mary's Female Academy and St. Paul Fe- 
male Seminary, at St. Paul. 

Wealth, Taxation and Finances.— The assessed 
value of real estate in 1870 was $62,079,587, and 
Of personal estate, $22,055,745. The true or esti- 
mated value of both kinds of property was 
$228,909,590, against $52,294,413 in 1860. 

The amount of levies on all taxable property, 
in 1871, was $453,363 for state purposes, $825,086 
for the public schools, $769 170 for county pur- 
poses, $839,297 for town purposes, and $14,686 for 
bounties, making the total taxes for all pur- 
poses, $2,901,602. 

The aggregate public debt, not national, in 
1870, was $2,788,797, including $350,000 state debt, 
for which bonds have been issued; $472,694 
county debts, and $1,966,103 town and city debts. 

Government.— As early as 1680 Louis Henne- 
pin, a French priest, in compaViy with some 
fur traders, ascended the Mississippi R. as far 
as the Falls of St. Anthony. The north-west- 
ern territory, including what is now Minn., 
was transferred to the United States in 1783, 
and in 1805 the government purchased from the 
Indians a tract of land for military purposes, 
at the mouth of the St. Croix R., and another 
tract at the mouth of the Minnesota R., includ- 
ing the Falls of St. Anthony. Upon the latter 
Fort Snelling was built in 1820, and the country 
near it was settled in 1845. Minn, was organ- 
ized as a territory in 1849, and admitted into 
the Union as a state in 1&57. 

The Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secre- 
tary of State, Treasurer and Attorney-Gen- 
eral are chosen for two years. The Auditor is 
chosen for three years. The Senate consists of 
22 members, chosen for two years, one-half each 
year; and the House of Representatives com- 
prises 47 members, who are elected annually. 
The Legislature meets annually in the month 
of January. Citizens of the United States, who 
have resided 4 months in the state and 10 days 
next preceding an election in the district, are 
legal voters. 

The judiciary comprises a Supreme Court, 
District Courts, Courts of Probate and Justices 
of the Peace. The Supreme Court has original 
jurisdiction in such remedial cases as are pre- 
scribed by law, and appellate jurisdiction in. 
all cases, both in law and in equity. It consists 
of a chief justice and two associate justices, 
who are elected for 7 years. There are six dis- 
trict court judges, who are elected in single 
districts for 7 years. The district courts have 
original jurisdiction in all cases of law and 
equity, where over $100 are in controvesy, and 
in criminal cases where the punishment may 
be imprisonment for ever 3 months, or a fine 
of over $100. 

The state is divided into the following 70 coun- 
ties: Aiken, Anoka, Becker, Benton, Blue Earth, 
Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chippewa, Chi- 
sago, Clay, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, 
Dodge, Douglas, Faribault^ Fillmore, Freeborn,

MISSISSIPPI, one of the southern st.xtes ; 
is bounded on the W. by Ark. and La., on theS. 
by La. and the Mississippi Sound, an extension 
of the Gulf of Mexico; on the E. by Ala. and 
on the N. by Tenn. Its Icngtli from N. to S. is 
334 nils.; its average width from E. to W.150 
mis., and its area 47,15(5 sq. mis., or 30,179,840 
acres. It lies between 30° 20' anil 35° N. lat., and 
88° 12' and 91° 40' W. long. 

Surface.— The north-eastern is the highest part 
of the state and forms an undtilatinglal)le-land, 
which gently slopes down toward the W. and S., 
and terminates witli steep blutfs on the banks 
of the Mississippi and Yazoo Rs. In several 
places, as at Vicksburg, Grand Gulf, Rodney, 
Natchez, Ellis Clilfand Fort Adams, these blutfs 
approach close to the river ; in others a broad 
belt of swarnpy bottom-lands extends along 
their base. The north-western part of the state 
includes the largest of these swampy regions, 
known as the " Yazoo Bottom," which is tra- 
versed bj' the Yazoo, Sun Flower and other 
streams. It has an area of 7,110 sq. mis. and 
varies in width from a few to 100 nils. It is, 
however, intersected by a line of higher ground, 
some 2 to 6 mis. In width, whicli is never over- 
flowed. 

Rivers. — The Mississippi, which washes the 
western border of the state, drains nearly one- 
half of its area. Its pi-incipal tributary is the 
Y'azoo R., which flows near the eastern part of 
the bottom, rises near tlie northern state line 
in Marshall co., is known as Cold Water R. un- 
till joined by the Tallahatchee R., and then as 
Taliahatchee R. until joined by the Yallabusha 
R. The total length from its proper source 
(Horn Lalce) to its moutli above Vicksburgh, is 
about 500 nils., one-half of which distance is 
navigable during high water by boats drawing 
from 2 to 3 feet of water, and as "far as Panola by 
boats drawing 6 feet. 

The Big Black R. rises in Choctaw co.. and 
flowing S. W. joins the Mississippi above Grand 
Gulf. Its whole basin is made up of a rolling 
country entirely above danger of inundation. 
The Homochitto R. is the last tributary of the 
Mississippi, in state of importance. It rises 
in Franklin co., and flowing W. forms the 
boundary between Adams and Wilkinson cos. 
The north-eastern jiart of the state is drained 
by tlie head waters of the Tombigbee R. and the 
south-eastern by the Pascagoula R., which is 
formed in Greene eo. by the Leaf and Chicka- 
sawlia Rs. Pearl R. rises in De Kalb co., flows 
W. S. W. as far as Jackson, and turning S. emp- 
ties into Mississippi Sound near Lake Borgne. 
The Young Warrior and Strong Rs. are its 
principal affluents. The Tennessee R. touches 
the N. E. corner of the state for about 15 mlg. 

Cliynate and Vegetation.— ^lias. has a warm cli- 
mate. The summers are long and hot, the win- 
ters short and mild. The isothermal of 88° 
Fahr. passes through tlie central part, and that 
of 84° through the northern part. The rain-fall 
is abundant and well distributed through the 
seasons. Along the Gulf coast it amounts to 64 
inches, and from liere gradually diminishes to- 
ward the N. \V., where it is about 48 inches. 

The soil of Miss, is very fertile and the vege- 
tation luxuriant. The more elevated portions 
of the bottoms of the Yazoo and Mississippi are 
covered with red hickory, holly,, spicewood,.

(logwood, sassafras, walnut, pecan, gum, over- 
cup oak and liackberry, while the lower and 
swampy portions contain cypress, water-oak, 
l^rjvet, "box elder and swamp" ash. 

The tal)le-land in the N. E. portion of the 
state consists generally of prairie laud. The 
remaining and by far the largest portion is 
covered with forests, consisting of deciduous 
trees and southern evergreens, as the live-oak, 
magnolia and others. The long-leaved pine pre- 
dominates in the sandy plains which occupy 
the S. K. corner. 

J'opidation.—Ihe population of Miss., in 1800, 
was 8,850 ; in 1810, 40,852 ; in 18-20, 75,448 ; in 1830, 
13iJ,H21 ; in 1840, 375,651 ; in 1850, 60o,5-26 ; in 18(iO, 
791,305; and in 1870, 827,922. This last aggregate 
comprised 382,890 whites; 444,201 colored per- 
sons ; 16 Chinese and 809 Indians. 

The persons born in the United States num- 
bered 816.731, of whom 563,596 are natives of the 
state, 59,519 of Ala., 28,259 of Ga., 938 of 111., 575 of 
Ind., 1,458 of N. Y., 27,941 of N. C, 1,171 of Ohio, 
8.55 of Pa.. 35,956 of S. C, 31,804 of Tenn., and 33,- 
551 of the Virginias. The foreign-born popula- 
tion numbered but 11,191, of whom 2,960 were 
natives of Germany, 1,086 of England, 3,359 
of Ireland, and 434 of Scotland. 

The population of 10 j'ears of age and over 
numbered 581,206 ; of who"m 318,850 were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz.: 259,199 in 
agriculture;, 40,522 in professional and personal 
services, 9,148 in trade and transportation and 
9,981 in manufactures and mechanical indus- 
tries. 

Agriculture. — Miss, has on the whole an ex- 
ceedingly productive soil, and but few small 
sections of the state are permanently unfit for 
tillage. The sandy pine region in the S. E. re- 
quires fertilizing, but in its present state yields 
turpentine. The prairie table-land in tlie N. E. 
has a rich black soil, impregnated with lime, 
and produces heavy crops of cotton and corn. 
The valleys of the central and northern parts 
are also very productive, but the richest soil 
is found in the Yazoo and Mississippi bottoms, 
which indeed are inexhaustible. The great 
staple is cotton, and in its production Miss, 
holds the lirst rank in the country. 

In 1870 there were 4,20',),146 acres of improved 
land, 7,959,384 acres of woodlanil and 952,583 
acres of other unimproved land, making a total 
of 10,121,113 of acres in farms, which is but a 
little over one-third of the area of the state. 

The cash value of farms was $81,716,576. Total, 
estimated,valueof all farm productions, includ- 
ing additions to stock, etc., was $73,137,9o3. The 
wages paid amounted to $10,326,794. The princi- 
pal products were: Sprinjj wheat, 66,638 bush.; 
winter wheat, 207,841 bush.; rye, 14,852 bush.; 
Indiau-corn, 15,637,316 bush.; oats, 414,586 bush.; 
Irish pot's, 214,189 bush.; sweet pot's, 1,743,432 
bush.; cotton, 564,938 bales; wool, 288,285 lbs.; 
rice 374,627 lbs.; tobacco, 61,012 lbs.; butter, 2,613,- 
521 lbs.; hay, 8,324 tons; cane sugar, 49 hhds.; 
cane molasses, 152,164 galls., and sorghum mo- 
lasses 67,509 galls. 

The value of all live stock was $29,940,238, and 
comprised 90,221 horses, 85,886 mules and asses, 
173,899 milch cows, 58,156 working oxen, 269,030 
other cattle, 232,732 sheep and 813,381 swine. 

Manu/aolures.—^Lisa. has but few manufac- 
tures and these mostly embrace the ordinary 
and simple branches of mechanical industry, 
such as building, blacksmithing, tanning, etc. 
The last census reports 1,731 e.stal)lishments, 
employing 384 steam-engines of 10,010 horse- 
power, 225 water-wheels of 2,453 horsii-power, 
and 5,941 operatives. The capital invested was 
$1,501,714, and the total value of products, $8,154,- 
758. The wages paid wave $1,517,428, and the ma- 
terials con.sumcd, $1,364,206. 

The chief products of industi'y were sawed 
lumber of $2,160,667 in value, and flour and meal 
Of $2,053,567 in value. 

Comtnerce and Railroads.— ^iiss. has uo direct 



commerce with foreign countries. The only 
three ports of entry or custom districts, Nat- 
chez, Pearl Iliver and Vicksburgh, do not 
appear in the official tables of exports and im- 
ports. The total tonnage of the state, in 1871, 
was but 2,963. The domestic conimerce is car- 
ried on by way of the Mississippi and othtw" 
navigable streams, and the railroa(-ls,which had, 
in 1872, an aggregate length of 990 mis. The 
principal line is the Great Jackson lioute, com- 
prising the consolidated lines of the New Or- 
leans, Jackson & Great Northern R. B., the 
Mississippi Central R. R., and the Mississippi 
& Tennessee R. R. It extends from New Or- 
leans to Jackson, Tenn., and has a branch from 
Grenada to Memphis. The Mobile <S Ohio 11. R. 
intersects the eastern portion of the state, and 
the Vicksburgh & Meridian R. R. intersects the 
state from E. to W. 

Education. — The total school population, ia 
1870, was 304,762, of whom only 98,()00 were en- 
rolled m the public schools. The number of 
schools was 3,450, and of school teachers, 3,.)20. 
An earnest beginning has been made to intro- 
duce a complete systeui of public schools ; but 
the lack of funds has thus far been a serious 
hindrance. 

The State Normal School is located at Holly 
Springs, and admits none but those intending 
to become teachers. Tougaloo University, 
situated 7 mis. N. of Jackson, is in successful 
operation under the management of the Ameri- 
can Missionary Association. The College at 
Pass Christian, Harrison co., was organized in 
1866, and includes a preparatory, collegiate and 
commercial department. Mississippi College, 
at Clinton, Hinds CO., commenced in 1868 with 
2 college and 9 preparatory students, but is 
now attended by 150. It has been ailopted by 
the Baptists of Arkansas as their state institu- 
tion. 

The Universitj^ of Mississippi is located at 
Oxford, La Fayette co., and comprises three 
general departments ; a department of prepar- 
atory education, a department of science, lit- 
erature and the arts, and a department of pro- 
fessional education. The legislature, on the re- 
commendation of the Governor, has appropri- 
ated the sum of $50,000 per annum for ten years. 

The State Institution for the Education of 
the Blind, the Lunatic Asylum, and the State 
Penitentiary, are at Jackson. 

77ie Press ol Miss, comprised, in 1870, 111 news- 
papers and periodicals, with a total circulation 
of 71,868. Only 3 were dailies, 92 were weeklies, 
2 semi-monthlies and 5 monthlies. 

Wealth and Taxation.— In 1870 the total as- 
sessed valuation was $177,278,890, of which $118- 
278,460 represented real estate and $59,000, 1-'IO 
personal estate. The true or estimatetl value 
for both kinds of property was $200,107,345, 
against $607,324,911 in 1860. The great decrease 
was chiefly due to the abolition of slavery. 

The state taxes amounted to $1,309,655, the 
county taxes to $2,299,699, and the township, 
city, etc., taxes to $127,078, making a total taxa- 
tion of $3,736,432. 

(Joverjiment.—Hhc region now comprised In 
Miss, was lirst visited in 1540 by l)e Soto, a 
Spanish soUlier of fortune. The settlement at 
Fort Rosalie (now Natchez), in 1716, by a party 
of Frenchmen under Bienville, was the lirst 
permanent colony. At the peace of Paris, in 
1763, Miss, became part of the English leriitory. 
In 1798 Miss., including Ala., was ercetetl into a 
territory, and in 1817 was admitted as a state 
into the Union. 

The present constitution, adopted by the 
convention in 1868, provides that all male in. 
habitants who are citizens of the United States, 
twenty-one years of age and over, who have 
residetl in the state 6 months, and in the county 
one month next preceding the day of election, 
are qualitied electors. 

The House of Representatives consists of 107

members, chosen every second year by the 
qualiflecl electors. The Senate consists of 33 
members chosen ever four j^ears. 

The Governor and Lieutenant-Governor are 
elected bv the qualified electors, and hold their 
offices for four years. They must be at least 30 
years of age, must have been citizens of the 
United States 'iO years, and must have resided 
lu tlie state 2 years next preceding the day of 
eleciion. Tli'e Secretary of State, Attorney- 
General, Treasurer and "Auditor of Public Ac- 
counts are also elected for 4 years, and must at 
least be -25 years of age. A sheritf, coroner, 
treasurer, assessor and survej'or are elected in 
each county for '2 years. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, consisting of three judges, who are ap- 
pointed by the Governor, by and with the ad- 
vice of the Senate, for 9 years. The judges of 
the Circuit Court are appointed for 6 years, and 
those of Chancery Courts for 4 years. 

Alississippi is divided into tlie following 72 
counties: Adams, Alcorn, Amite, Attala, Ben-

which is very productive, from inundation. 
It is believed that the whole co. couUl be

Mississippi, tn. in the above co. Pop., 357. 
Mississippi Rlrer, the principal stream in 
the North American continent, and, with its 
tributary the Missouri R., the longest in the 
world, drains the greater part of the United 
States. It rises in Lake Itasca (in lat. 47^^ 14' 
N., and in long. 95° 2' W. of Greenwich), wluch 
is situated in the " Hauteurs des Teries," or 
"Height of Lands," 1,. 575 feet above the sea 
level. This lake is a beautiful sheetof trans- 
parent water, about 7 mis. long and from 1 to 
3 mis. wide. One of the live small creeks that 
fall HI to it, coming from the W., is distinguish- 
ed from the others by its more abundant wa- 
ters and greater length, and in obedience to a 
well recognized geographical law,mtist be con- 
sidered the true source of the Mississippi. 
(This source is 1,680 feet above the sea.) 

On leaving Lake Itasca the stream is about 
12 feet wide and from 12 to 18 inches deep. For 
the first 25 mis. the river forms a series of 
strong rapids, and 15 mis. further E. it enters 
Cass Lake, a sheet of about 120 sq. mis. in area. 
Out of this the Mississippi flows with a width. 
. of 175 feet and a depth of 8 feet, and then tra- 
verses the Upper and Little Winnipec lakes. 
Below the latter the course is very winding, 
but has a general S. E. direction, gradually 
curving S. W- to Fort Ripley, where'it is join- 
ed by tlie Crow Wing R. Four miles below 
the mouth of P]lk R. the Mississippi forces its 
way through a narrow defile of rocks, forming 
the Little Falls. The Big Falls,furthei- down 
the stream, consist of a series of brakes and 
chutes extending about 800 yards. 

At Minneapolis are the Falls of St. Anthony, 
where the river makes a perpendicular pitch 
of 40 feet, with rapids above and below of ad- 
ditional 25 feet of fall. About .55 nils, below 
the mouth of the Minnesota R. the Mississippi 
expands into Lake Pepin, which is from 2 to 3 
mis. wide and 27 mis. long. About 270 mis. 
farther down are the Rock River Rapids, 
where the river falls 22 feet in a distance of 
about 13 mis.; and 115 mis. further on are the 
Des Moines Rapids, H mis. long, with a fall at 
low water of 21 feet. 

From Lake Pepin to the junction of the 
Missouri the Mississippi ramifies in number- 
less branches or "sloughs," inclosing wooded 
islands. 

Below this jinction the TVfississippi is a tur- 
bid and boiling current, of immense volume 
and force, its waters destroying banks and 
islands at one locality and reconstructing 
them at another. It absorbs triliutary after 
tributarj^ without visible increase of size. 
From the mouth of the Missouri to the town 
of Commerce, Scott co., Mo., the westi^ru bank 
of the JMlssissippi is mainlj' composetl of high 
limestone and clay blufts, which are inter- 
rupted near Cape Girardeau by a strip of low 
land, serving as an inlet to the St. Francois 
Bottom. The left bank of the stream, from 
the mouth of the Missouri to the mouth of 
the Kaskaskia, consists of the "American Bot- 
tom," a strip of low land whicli is subject to 
overflow in the highest floods. Thence to 
Commerce the banks are formed by bluffs like 
those on the opposite side, which, however, 
frequently assume the most fantastic shapes. 
From the'mouth of the Ohio the river flows 
through its great alluvial flood-ground. This 
region varies in width from 22 to 73 mis., lies 
mainlv below the level of its flood, and is bor- 
deredm the E. and W. by a line of blutfs, to 
the base of which the river approaches in 
many jilaces. At Columbus, Ky., it first strike.^ 
high land, which is 200 feet above high water, 
and then at Hickman, Ky.; then follow the 
four Chickasaw Bluffs in Tenn., the second 
at Randolph and the fourth at Mempliis. At

Bayou Sara, Port Hudsoi\,aucl lastly at Baton 
Kouge, below which point the banks are uni- 
formly below the liigh-water level. 

From the mouth of the lied K. to the Gulf 
of 3Iexico the Mississippi traverses the Delta, 
a region of l'2,oOO sq. mis. in area, consist- 
ing pai'tly of alluvial lands Ij'ing above the 
sea level and partly of sea marsh. It con- 
tains several lakes— as Lake Pontchartrain, 
Lake Maurepas, Graml I^ake, l>ake Verret, 
Washa Lake, Lake Fields, Lake Quitman, etc., 
and is traverseil bj- many bayous, throe of 
which, the Atchafalaya, Plaquemine and La 
Fourche are connected with the Mississippi. 
The river has Ave mouths, called passes, viz.: 
the Southwest Pass, the South Pass, the 
Southeast Pass, the Northeast Pass and the 
Pass a rOutre. 

The length of the uppei' Mississippi, from its 
source to its junction with the Missouri K., is, 
according to Capt. A. A. Humphrey's report, 
1,330 mis.; and of the lower Mississippi, from 
said junction to the mouth, l,'28(irals., making 
a total for tlie great stream of '2,616 mis. The 
lower course is navigable at all times by the 
largest boats. In the upper course navigation 
is rendered difficult during tlie lowest stages 
of water bj' the bars and rapids, but is usually 
open to the Falls of St. Anthony, at Minneap- 
olis, Blinn. The following table shows the 
height of the river at various points, and its

The Mississippi R., with its numerous tri- 
butaries, drains an area of l,21t,000 sq. mis. Its 
average depth below the mouth of the Ohio 
R. varies from 90 to 120 ft., and its average 
velocity of current at New Orleans is from 34 
to 35 mis. per day, or about 2 ft. per second. 
The average amount of water it discharges 
into the Gulf of Mexico is 675,000 cubic ft. per 
second, and the approximate quantity of 
earthy matter 237,795 tons per day. 

Owing to the vast drainage area, the river 
shows great differences between high and low 
water, and frequently rises so high as to in- 
undate the bottom-lands along its banks. The 
rise is produced by heavy rain-falls over large 
portions of its basin, or by the melting of the 
snow in the northern parts of the same, and 
lience cannot be predicted with any certainty. 
In 1853 four great rises took place at the head 
of the alluvial region (above the mouth of the 
Ohio). The tirst, caused mainly by a flood in 
the Ohio, ocurrcd in Decemljer, 18o7. It filled 
the Mississippi R. to the top of the Imnks, and 
the maximum discharge at Columbus was 
1,190,000 cubic ft. per .second. The second rise 
occurred in March and April, 1858, and wa.s 
caused by the swelling of the lower tributaries 
of the Missouri R. and the Upper Mississippi R. 
The tLird great rise was caused by heavy 
rains, which swelled the lower tributaries of 
the Missouri R., of the Ohio and the upper Mis- 
sissippi R. The fourth and greatest ri^^e occur- 
red in .June, and was produced by heavy rains 
during May, in the Ohio valley, and the usual 
June rise of the Missouri, by the melting of 
snow ill the liocky Mts. The stream over-

flowed its Imnks, covered the swamps above 
Columbus, inundated the city of Cairo, and 
poured rapidly into the bottom-lands of the 
St. Francis R. 

In order to protect the alluvial region from 
inundations, embankments, called " levees," 
have been raised from five to ten feet on botli 
sides of the Mississippi and some of its 
lower tributaries. 
Mississippi Sound, extending along the 
coast of Miss, and Ala., is separated from the

the eastern part, the Coeur d'Allene Bits, the 
western, and the Bitter Root Mts. trend along 
the S. \V. boundary. The Flat Head R., which 
is formed l)y three forks, flows to the S. along 
the western base of the Rocky Mts. Near the 
48th parallel it expands into the beautiful 
Flat Head I^ake, and Ijelow this it describes a 
curve, flowing flrst S., then "W., and near the 
115th meridian it is joined bj' the Missoula R. 
to form Clark's Fork of the Columbia. The 
Missoula R. is formed by the confluence of the 
Big Blackfoot and Hell Gate Rs., and below 
receives the Bitter Root R. The north-western 
corner of the co. is intersected by the Koote 
ney R. The region between the Flat Head R. 
and Clark's Fork is traversed bj' a range of 
rugged hills, which are covered down to the 
base with dense pine forests. Missoula is the

MIISSOIJRI lies W. of the Mississippi R., 
which separates it from 111., Ky. and Tenn., 
while the Missouri R. forms part of the western 
boundary. In the N. it borders on Iowa ; iu the 
\V. on Nebr., Kans., and Indian Ter., and in the 
S. on Ark. It has an area of 65,350 sq. mis., or 
40,824,000 acres, and lies between 36° 30' and 40° 
30' N. lat., and 89° 2' and 95° 51' VV. long. 

Surface.— The Missouri R., which intersects 
the state from W.to E., divides it into two dis- 
tinct portions. The northern portion resembles 
Iowa in structure, consists of rolling prairies, 
which are intersected by the deeply eroded 
valleys of the streams, and has a general slope 
from'N. W. to S. E. These valleys are generally 
well timbered with deciduous forests, while the 
uplands support a prairie vegetation of grasses 
and herbacious plants. The southern portion 
of the state is larger than the northern and 
presents a far greater variety of surface. The 
south-eastern extremity is occupied by the 
Great Swamp, the product of the terrible earth- 
quakes of 1811 and 1812, which buried the town 
of New Madrid and others in the floods of the 
Mississippi, and was followed by a general sub- 
sidence of t he ground. Four natural subdivis- 
ions of the Great Swamp may be distinguished, 
locally known as the St. Francis, the St. John's, 
the St. James, and the White Water, or Little 
River, Swamps. At some future time they 
will doubtless be reclaimed ; but thus far they 
have dclied all attempts at settlement. A lino 
of " blufl's," consisting in sevei-al places of pre- 
cipitous limestone rocks, bcjiiids the Great 
Swamp on the W., and terminates ou the Mia-

rough and broken territory, which occupies the 
greater part of southern Mo., and gradually 
sinks down to the valleys of the Osage and 
Missouri Rs. The hills are quite irregular, and 
rarelv assume the form of distinct ranges, ex- 
cept in the S. "W., where they attain their great- 
est elevation in the Ozark Mts., which traverse in 
compact ridges the N. W. corner of Ark. and a 
large T>ortion of Indian Ter. The Iron Mts. 
also ippsai' as a continuous range, which trends 
froi"!i A po.nt 60 mis. below the moiith of the 
MiS'-ouri R.,in a S. W. direction, and attains, in 
Filet Knob, an elevation of 1,490 feet above the 
sea. The portion of the state which lies AV. of 
the Ozark Region and lower course of the Osage 
B. consists of rolling prairies, and, like north 
3Io., is deeply farrowed by the forest-clad val- 
leys of the streams. 

jRivers. — The principal rivers of Mo. are the 
Mississippi, which washes the entire eastern 
boundary, a distance of 470 mis., and the Mis- 
souri, which for 200 mis. forms the western 
boundary and from the point where it re- 
ceives tlie Kansas R. flows eastwardly across 
the state, joining the Mississippi 15 nils. N. of 
the cit5' of St. Louis. The tributaries which 
empty direct into the Mississippi N. of the 
Missouri R. are the Little Fork R., the "VVya- 
conda R., the Fabius R., formed by the Korth, 
Middle and South forks, and emptying opposite 
Quincy, 111., the Salt R., the Cuivi-e or Copper 
R.,Pt'ruque Cr. and Bardenne Cr. Tlio Maramec 
R. is tlie only stream of importance which 
ioins the Mississippi in this state S. of the Mis- 
souri. It rises in the Ozark Mts. and receives 
Bourbeuse and Negro Crs. The White R. be- 
longs to Ark., and with its most northerly 
curve only to Mo. Its tributaries drain the 
south-eastern portion of the state and join the 
White R. beyond its southern boundary. They 
are the North Fork, Eleven Point R., Current 
R. and Black R. The St. Francis R. and Little 
R. traverse the Great Swamj), and in Ark. unite 
with the Mississippi. 

The Missouri R.receives numerous tributaries 
in the state and drains the greater part of its 
area. Its northern affluents rise in Iowa and 
have a southerly course, as the Nishnabotany 
R., Nodaway R., Platte R., Grand R. (formed by 
several forks and joined by Big R., Thomas 
Fork, Medicine Cr.), Yellow Cr., Charitan R., 
Roclier Perce R. and Cedar R. The southern 
affluents of the Missouri are Lamine R., Osage 
R. (which rises in Kans. and receives the Lit- 
tle Osage R.), Sac It., Grand R., Pomme de Terre 
R., Big Niangua R., Auglaize R. and Marios 
Cr., and lastly the Gasconade R., wliich rises in 
the Ozark Mts. and receives Robideaux Cr. and 
Piney Fork. 

Climate and Vegelation.—The climate of Mo. is 
subject to great extremes. The summers are 
long and hot, and the winters so cold that the 
rivers are usually bridged over with ice strong 
enough for the heaviest loads. Mo. is a healthy 
state and particularly favorable to peroous af- 
flicted witli pulmonarj' diseases. 

Near St. Louis the mean annual temperature 
.6 55.50°, and the mean temperature of the sea- 
ions as follows : Spring, 5(;.15° ; summer, 76.20° ; 
fall, 55..50°, and winter, 33.85°. 

Tlie surface of Mo. is favorably divided be- 
tween prairie and timber land. In the northern 
and western portions of the state prairies pre- 
dominate, and the forests, chiefly of deciduous 
trees, are limited to the rich bottom-lands of 
the streams. Southern IMo. is abundantly sup- 
plied with timber. The Ozark Mts. are through- 
out coveied with woods comprising oaks, elms, 
limes, sycamores, ailanthus, maples, willows, 
hickory and other nut-bearing trees, chestnuts, 
catalpas, tnlip trees, poplars, cypress, pines 
and iiaw-paws. with an undergrowth of wild 



grapes, flowering shrubs and a great variety of 
climbers and creepers. 

The animal kingdom is represented by sev- 
eral species of deer, raccoons, squirrels, foxes, 
and in the mountains by liears, wild cats ana 
panthers. Wild pigeons and turkeys, quails 
and prairie hens areVery abundant : eagles, fal- 
cons and owls prej^ on the smaller birds, fleld 
mice and moles, and the larger streams and 
swamps are animated with immense flocks of 
wild geese and ducks, herons, swans and divers. 
Nor does Mo. lack snakes, lizards, frogs ami 
turtles. 

Population. — In 1810 Mo. had 20,845 inhabitants ; 
in IS20, 66,557; in 1830, 140,455; in 1S40, 383,702 ; in 
1850, 682,044; in 1860, 1,182,012, and in 1870, 1,721.29.% 
Of this last number 1,603,146 were whites, 118,071 
colored persons, and 75 Indians. 

In regard to nativity the population com- 
prised the following : Born in the United States, 
l,4i);>.028, inclusive of 788,491 natives of the state, 
10,963 of Ark., 2,070 of Conn., 3,843 of Ga., 72,623 
of 111., .51, 303 of Ind., 22,436 of Iowa, 4,933 of Kans., 
102,801 of Ky., 4,045 of La., 2,316 of Me., 7,619 of 
Md., 5,731 of Mass., 4,570 of Mich., 3,484 of Miss., 
1,235 of Nebr., 1,384 of N. H., 3,200 of N. J., 31,805 
of N. Y., 76,062 of Ohio, 3.5,384 of Pa., 2,851 of S. 
C, 70,212 of Tenn., 3,386 of Tex., 2,961 of Vt., 61,- 
305 of Va. and W. Va. and 6,282 of Wis. The for- 
eign-born population numbered 222,207, of whom 
8,448 were natives of British America, 6,293 of 
France, 113,618 of Germany, 14,313 of England, 
54,983 of Ireland, 3,283 of Scotland, l,.524of Wales, 
1,167 of Holland and 2,599 of Sweden and Nor- 
way. 

The total population of 10 years and over 
numbered 1,205,568, and of these there were en- 
gaged in agriculture 263,918 ; in professional and 
personal services, 106,903 ; in trade and trans- 
portation, 54,885, and in manufactures, mining 
and mechanical trades, 79,850, making an aggre- 
gate of 505,556 persons engaged in all classes of 
occupations. 

Minerals and Mining. — The mineral wealth of 
Mo. is as great as that of any equal area on the 
globe,and its productions are distinguished not 
only for their immense quantitj', but also for 
their excellence and purity. The coal deposits 
of northern Mo. are a portion of the great Iowa 
field, and within the limits of the state measure 
62,887 sq. mis. Prof. G. C. Swallow, the state ge- 
ologist, estimates the amount of available coal 
at 134,435 billions of tons. The smaller coal 
areas in other parts of the state, compared with 
this vast amount, are but of local importance. 
The iron deposits of Mo. are perhaps surpassed 
in extent by those of Mich, and Pa.; but in 
neither of those states are such vast quantities 
of almost pure metal so near the surface or even 
upon it as here. Iron Mt., in St. Francois co., is 
228 feet high, covers an area of 500 acres, and its 
contents, of the finest ore, have been estimated 
at 16,5.w millions of cubic feet, or 230,187,075 tons. 
Pilot Knob, in Iron eo., is 581 ft. high (or 1,490 ft. 
above the sea), and covers an area of 360 acres. 
Magnetic iron, interspersed with specular iron, 
is found in immense quantities on Mt. Sbep- 
perd, near Pilot Knob. Lead is,nextto coal and 
iron,the most important mineral production of 
Mo. Prof. Swallow distinguishes four lead re- 
gions : the eastern, comprising an area of 5,000 
sq. mis. in the cos. of Washington, Franklin, 
Jefi'erson, Crawford, Dent, Madison, St. Fran- 
cois and St. Genevieve ; the south-western, 200 
sq. mis. large, in Jasper and Newton cos., with 
the Granby mines ; the southern, 100 sq. mis. 
large, in Taney and Christian cos., and the 
O.sage lead region, comprising 1,000 sq. mis. in 
the COS. of Cole, Moniteau, Morgan, Benton, 
Camden and Miller. The La Motte mines, in 
Madison co., and discovered in 1720, yielded, in 
1870, 1,200,000 lbs. The Granby mines have been 
worked nearlv 20 years. Zinc, which is rather 
rare in the United States, occurs abundantly in 
this state, and in 1S72 eleven furnaces were en-

gagefl in reducing the ore. Copper was for- 
merly mined, but for the last tew j'ears Mo. 
Sroiluces none, though tlie rich deposits in 
ent, Crawford and otliercos. would pay liaml- 
somely, if rationally worked. Cobalt, nickel, 
manganese and small quantities of gold and 
silver have been found. Various kinds of lime- 
stone, marble and granite abundantly supply 
the demand for building materials. 

Ac/ricuUure.— The soil of Mo. is remarkable 
for variety and fertility. The prairies through- 
out the state are covered with a thick layer of 
highly productive loam, and the deep alluvial 
boti om-lands produce large crops of all cereals 
and fruits grown in the Temperate Zone. In 
the Ozark Mountain region there are limited 
areas of unproductive hills, easily distinguished 
by tlie settler, as they are generally covered 
with forests of the yellow piiie, thriving well in 
their sandj- soil. 

According to the census there were, in 1S70, 
9,130,')15 acres of improved land, S,96.5,'229 acres 
of wood land, and 3,611,37(3 acres of other uuim- 
proveil land. Tlie cash value of farms was 
$*).2.;U)8,047 ; of farm implements. !3(15,5'J(3,42fi ; of 
farm productions, including additions to stock, 
$103,035,759, and of orchard products, $2,617,163. 
The productions were as follows : Spring 
wheat, 1,093,905 Imsh.; winter wheat, 13,222,021 
bush.; rye, .559,532 bush.; Indian-corn, 66,034,075 
bush.; oats, 16,578,313 bush.; barley, 269,240 bush.; 
Irish pot's, 4,238,361 bush.; sweet pot's, 241,2.53 
bush.; tobacco, 12,321,483 lbs.; wool, 3,649,390 lbs.; 
cotton, 1,246 bales ; butter, 14,455,825 lbs.; cheese, 
204.090 lbs.; hay, 615,611 tons ; sorghum molasses, 
1,73(1,171 gallons, and wine, 32).173 gallons. 

The Agricultural Department computes the 
crops for 1871 as follows : Indian-corn, 87,390,000 
bush.; wheat, 12,825,000 bush.; rye. 508,000 bush.; 
oats, 13,812,000 bush.; barley, 270,000 bush.; pota- 
toes, 3,410,000 bush.; tobacco, 13,138 lbs., and hay, 
542,000 tons. The total value of live stock was, 
in 1870, $84,285,273, and comprised 493,939 horses, 
111,502 asses and mules, 398,515 milch cows, 65,- 
825 working oxen. 689,.355 other cattle, 1,352,001 
sheep, and 2,306,430 swine. The value of ani- 
mals slaughtered was $23,626,784. 

Mmiufaciures. — Thenumber of manufacturing 
establishments, in 1870, was 11,879, which em- 
ployed 1,638 steam-engines, with 18,418 horse- 
power and 65,354 hands. The total value of 
products was $206,213,429; tlie capital invested 
m manufacturing, $80,257,244, and the wages 
paid, $31,055,445. 

Nine iron furnaces turned out products of 
$2,991,618 value ; one bloomery of $140,000 ; two 
rolling mills of $1,455,01)0; one nail factory of 
$294,000 ; thirty-one lead furnaces of $642,831 ; 
one bar and sheet-lead factorv of $650,000 ; 531 
■wagon shops of $3,253,734, and Ave car factories 
of $2,200,150. The value of flour and meal was 
$31,837,352 ; of men's clothing, $7,271,962 ; of boots 
and shoes, $4,099,552; of agricultural imple- 
ments, $1,588,108; of furniture, $3,303,024; of 
brass, produced in 10 foundries, $292,500 ; of 
stoves and hollow ware, $2,9S1,350 ; of malt 
liquor, $i>,519,548 ; of sawed lumber, $6,363,112 ; 
of plaine^l lumber, $857,310, and of steam-en- 
gines and boilers, $3,825,100. 

The pork packed in 23 estalilishments had a 
value of $4,135,250; and the goods made in 390 
saddle and harness shops ot $5,424.63.5. Sixty- 
five factories turned out $8,355,511 worth of 
chewing and other tobacco, and 318 factories 
$2,0.")9,()i)3 worth of cigars. 

Co in merce.—'Mo. has great natural facilities for 
commercial intercourse. The Mississippi and 
Missouri lis. are navigable far beyond the limits 
of the state, and at all seasons atfbrd steam boat 
communication with the great commercial 
cities of the interior and witli New Orleans, 
while the larger tributaries of these streams 
are navigable fo short distances above their 
mouths. 
The railroad system of the state is of recent 



date, but has been perfected with the greatest 
energy. In 1853 the railroad mileage was but 
53 ; in 18.56, 144 ; In 1858, 547 ; in 1862, 838 ; and in 
1872, 2,783. New lines are in course of construc- 
tion. Tlie following are the principal lines in 
operation: Atlantic* Pacific R. U. (331 mis.), 
within the state, fi-om Paciflc, 37 mis. W. of St. 
Louis, to Vinita, Indian Ter.; the Burlington & 
Southwestern R. R., from Iowa state line to 
Laclede, Linn co. (65 mis.); the Louisiana 
Branch of the Chicago & Alton R. R. (100 rals.): 
the Southwestern Branch and the Winthrop 
Branch of the Chicago, Rock Island & Paciflc R. 
R. (168 mis.); the Hannibal & Central Missouri R. 
R., from Hannibal to Moljerly (71 mis.); the Han- 
ibal & St. Joseph R. R. (206 mis.); with a branch 
to Kansas City (53 mis.); and another from Pal- 
myra to Quin'cy (15 mis.); the Kansas City, St. 
Joseph & Council Blutfs R. R. (148 mis.), with the 
Mary ville Branch (63 nils.); the Missouri, Kansas 
& Texas R. R. (141 mis.): the Paciflc R. R. of Mis 
souri with four branches (393 mis.); the Quincy, 
Missouri & Paciflc R. R., from West Quincy to 
Kirksville (70 mis.); the St. Louis & Iron Mt. R. 
R. (196 nils.), with the Arkansas Branch (101 
mis.), and the Potosi Branch (4 mis.); and the 
St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern R. R., with 
four branches (541 mis.). 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— The value of 
pi'operty, real and personal, was assessed in 1871 
at $575,129,969 ; but amounted in reality to $1,- 
284,922,897. The taxes, except for school pur- 
poses, are flxod at 50 cts. on $100. The total re- 
ceipts from Jan. 1 to Oct. 31, 1871, were $3,572,- 
941, and the expenditures $2,725,759 ; leaving a 
cash balance in the treasury of $847,182. The 
flnancial condition of the state, in the words of 
the Governor's Message of 1872, was not without 
its difficulties; but by no means discouraging. 
The funded state indebtedness in 1870 amounted 
to $17,866,000, and the debts of counties, cities 
and townships to $29,643,965, of which $26,017,- 
619, incurred in assisting railroads and other 
improvements, were secui-ed by bonds. 

Education. — Mo. provides with generous liber- 
ality for its schools and institutions of learning. 
In 1872 there were 634,443 persons between the 
ages of 5 and 21 years. Of these, 330,070 were en- 
rolled in the public schools, which nuinbered 
6,842 against 5,418 in the preceding year. In 187i 
the number of schools was 8,490 ; teachers, 9,676. 
The average attendance of pupils was 210,692. 
The expenditure for salaries and other purposes 
was $1,638,3.53. The average cost incurred by the 
state for each child enjoying school privileges 
was a fraction over $8.00. 

The higher educational institutions of the 
state were the State University, at Columbia, 
with which an agricultural college is con- 
nected; the Mining School, at RoUa; three 
Normal Schools, at St. Louis, Kirksville and 
Warrensburgh; the Lincoln Institute, at Jetfer- 
son city, a seminary for colored teachers ; 19 
colleges. 33 seminaries and 92 high-schools. All 
state educational institutions are strictly non- 
sectarian. 

There were also numerous establishments not 
controlled by the state, the most prominent of 
which is the Washington University, at St. 
Louis, with an '.Midowment of $700,000. The fol- 
lowing institutions are controlled by Roman 
Catholics: St. Vincent's Seminary, at Cape Gi- 
rardeau; St. Louis University, at St. Louis; 
Stanislaus Seminary, at Florissant ; the colleges 
at St. Louisand Hannibal ; the College of Chris- 
tian Brothers, at St. Louis. They also have 9 
female schools, 23 parochial schools and 50 ele- 
mentary schools. The Lutheran institutions 
are the Concordia Seminaiy and an academy 
at St. Louis, a higher female school at St. Jo- 
seph, and about, oD parochial schools. 

Charitable and Penal InstUullons. — The insti- 
tution for the education of the blind, at St. 
Louis, was established in 1851. At Fulton there 
is an asylum for the insane and an. asylum fot

the deaf and dumb. The State Penitentiary, 
located at Jefferson City, is nearly self-support- 
ing. The number of prisoners during 1871 varied 
from 750 to a50. 

Oovernmenl.—A. new constitution was adopt- 
ed bj' a convention in April, 1865, and ratified 
by the people in June ; but has since then been 
modified by several amendments. The Gover- 
nor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, 
Treasurer, Auditor, Register of Lands, Attor- 
ney-General and Superintendent of Public 
Schools are elected for a term of two years, on 
the first Tuesday after the first Monday of Xo- 
vember, in the "even years, 1872, 1874, etc. The 
Senate compi-ises 34 members, elected for four 
years, one-half biennially. Tlie House of Rep- 
resentatives consists of 13S members, who are 
chosen for two years at the general biennial 
election. The General Assembly meets annu- 
ally in the month of Januarj% The judicial 
power is vested in a Supreme Court, 29 Circuit 
Courts, Inferior Courts, County Courts and 
Justices of the Peace. The Supreme Coui't is 
composed of 5 justices elected for 10 years and 
lias appellate jurisdiction. The judges of the 
circuit courts are elected for six years. 

In 1872 Mo. was di%'ided into the following 114 
counties: Adair, Andrew, Atchispn, Audrain, 
Barry, Barton, Bates, Benton, Bollinger, Boone, 
Buchanan, Butler, Caldwell, Callaway, Camden,

Jefferson City, on the Missouri R.j is the state 
capital; St. Louis, on the Mississippi R., the 
largest city and the commercial metropolis. 
The other incorporated cities, according to the 
census, are St. tfoseph, Cape Girardeau, Inde- 
pendence, Kansas City, Westport, Macon, Han- 
nibal, Louisiana, Chillicothe and St. Charles ; 
the largest fViUages are Springfield, Sedalia,

Missouri River, the largest tributary of the 
Mississippi R.; is formed by three branches, 
the .Jetterson, the Madison and the Gallatin 
Rs., which unite near Gallatin City, Mont. 
Ter. The Jefferson R. is formed by the Wis- 
dom, or Bighole, R., the Beaverhead R. and 
the Stinking Water R., which rise in the main 
chain of the Rocky Mts. and unite in the 
northern part of JNIadison co., Mont. Ter. The 
Madison R. rises W. of the Yellow Stone Lake 
in Wyo. Ter., and flows through a fertile val- 
ley between two high mountain chains, and 
tlie Gallatin R. traverses a similar valley 
further to the E. From Gallatin City the Mis- 



souri R. flows N. between the Rocky Mts. on 
the W., and the Belt Mts. on the B., through a 
succession of mountain valleys and enorm- 
ous canyons. The canyon near the 47th degree 
of latitude was called by Lewis and Clark, 
who first explored this region, the " Gate of 
the Mountains." For 5% mis. perpendicular 
rocks rise from the watei-'s edge to the height 
of nearly 1,200 ft. The river, 350 yards in width, 
seems to have forced its channel down tliis 
solid mass. Its current here is very strong. 
About 35 mis. above Fort Benton the river 
pours over the "Great Falls," consisting of 
five principal cascades, varying in height 
from 6 to 70 ft. Up to the last and highest of 
these cascades the Missouri R. is navigable, a 
distance of 2,670 mis. above its mouth, and 
3,95(i mis. above the mouth of the Mississippi 
B., forming with the latter stream the long- 
est natural water-route in the world. 

About 25 mis. below Fort Benton the Mis- 
souri R. enters upon its easterly course, which 
it pursues along the 4Sth parallel as far as the 
103d meridian. From this point it flows S. S. 
E. to 39° IS', where it turns E., intersecting 
the state of Mo. to its confluence with the 
Mississippi R., 16 mis. above St. Louis. 

From the Great Falls to the mouth of the 
Maria's R. the banks of the Missouri are from 
100 to 160 feet in height. Below the Maria's B. 
they fall back with a gradual slope to the gen- 
eral prairie, and the R. flows with sweeping 
curves among beautiful islands. On reaching 
the Bear's Paw Mts. they are crowned with 
abrupt bluffs and detached iiillars of partially 
cemented sand, capped with huge globes of 
sandstone. At the mouth of Judith R. the 
Missouri enters theMauvaiseTerres, or "Bad 
Lands," where not an island nor shrub is seen 
— nothing but huge bare pillars of mud, tow- 
ering up as high as they can, and crowding 
each other for room. Below this repulsive re- 
gion the banks become richer, and small bot- 
toms, covered with fields of rank grass or 
thick groves of Cottonwood, cherry and wil- 
low accompanj' the stream. 

Between the mouth of th_e Milk R. and the 
mouth of the Yellow Stone the Missouri is a 
wide, turgid stream, with an ever-changing 
channel, and choaked with sand-bars, its great 
volume of water, however, securing a navi- 
gable channel on one side or the other. Below 
the mouth of the Yellow Stone the R. has gen- 
erally a uniform width, varying from J^ to 14 
a mle. when the banks are full, and is accom- 
panied by bottom-lands increasing in width 
and fertility as we proceed downward. The 
Missouri drains an area of 518,000 sq. mis., aiid

MONROE. 



Mono liake, in Mono co., Cal.; lies E. of the 
main crest of tlie Sierra Nevada, and is 14 
nils, from E. to W. and 9 mis. from N. to S. 
Its water is intensely bitter and saline, and 
has a high specific gravity, containing much 
salt, lime, boras and carbonate of soda. The 
lake contains a number of islands composed 
of volcanic materials, on one of which there 
are hundreds of fumaroles, emitting gas, 
steam and smoke. From its great depth and 
peculiar formation it is supposed to occupy 
the crater of an ancient volcano. There are 
now scattered about in the vicinity numerous 
Cones and partial craters. It is entirely de- 
void of life, and Mono Lake has not inaptly 
been termed the "Dead Sea" of the Great 
Basin.

Ters., and on the E. by Dak. Ter. It lies "be- 



tween 104° and 116° W. long, and 44° 2G' and 49* 
N. lat., embracing an area of 143,770 sq. mis. or 
92,016,t;40 acres. 

Surface. — The western part of the territory l3 
occupied by the Rocky Mts., and many of their 
spurs and outliers : the eastern part belongs to 
the region of the " Great Plains," that vast and 
gently rolling table-land Mhlch extends along 
the eastern base of the Rocky Mts. throughout 
their entire length, and gradually sinks away 
toward the central valleys of the Mississippi 
and the Red River of tlie"North. A line drawn 
from the intersection of the southern state line 
ot Mont, with the 109th meridian, to the inter- 
section of the northern with the 1131 h meridian, 
roughly marks the boundary between these two 
sections. 

The principal range of the Rockrj- Mts. trends 
along the south-western boundary of the terri- 
tory from the west line of AVyo. Ter. to the in- 
tersection of the parallel 45° 40' N. lat. with the 
114th meridian, where it bends suddenly east- 
ward, and then from near the I12th meridian 
runs N. N. W. to thenorthern line of Mont. The 
Bitter Root Mts. liranch off from the greftt east- 
erly bend of the Rocky Mts., and together with 
the Coeur d'AUene Mts., further to the N.. form 
the western boundary of the territory to the 
48tli parallel. Other ranges, as for instance the 
Snow Mts., a continuation of the Big Horn Mts. 
of SVyo. Ter., enter the southern part of Mont. 
This great mountain belt has an average width 
of from 175 to 200 mis., and includes the source 
streams of the Missouri R. and of Clark's Fork 
of the Columbia R. Although the ranges of 
Mont, are considerably lower than those of 
Wyo. and Colo. Ters., further S., they abound 
in grand and picturesque scenery. The highest 
pks. probably do not exceed 10,000 or 12,000 feet 
above the sea level; the passes often sink below 
5,000 feet, and the valleys, deeply countersunt 
in the mountain flanks,' average about 4, (JU<J feet. 

The eastern part of the territory has an eleva- 
tion varying from about 4.000 feet, near the base 
of the liocky Mts., to about 2,000 feet at the 
Dakota line. Somg.isolated mountain ranges 
rise in various localities and iliversifv the gen- 
erally even or rolling surface. Soiith of the 
Missouri R. are the Belt Mts., the Highwood 
jNIts., the .Judith Mts., etc. Between the Yellow 
Stone and JMuscle Shoal Rs. are the Crazy Mts., 
and between the Missouri and Maria's Rs. the 
Bear's Paw and Little Rocky Mts. 

Rivers and Lakes.— Islont. belongs to the drain- 
age systcmis of the Missouri R. alid the Colum- 
bia R. The culminating range of the Rocky 
Mts. is the water-shed, which divides them. 
Clark's Fork of the Columbia is formed by the 
confluence of the Missoula and Flal Head Rs. 

The Flathead R. rises among the Roeky Mts. 
of British America, flows S. to its junction with 
the -Jocko R., and then due W. for about 50 inls. 
Near the 48th parallel the stream expands into 
the beautiful Flathead Lake, about 30 mis. long 
and 10 mis. wide, which is surrounded by a belt 
of beautiful meadows. The principal Iributa- 
ries are Maple R., Hotspring Cr. and .Jocko R. 
The latter runs through a vallev including 
about 50 sq. mis. of good arable land, which 
may e.asily be irrigated. 

The Missoula R. is formed by the confluence 
of the Big Blackfoot R. and the Hell Gate R.; 
and receives Fishery Cr. and Regis Borgia R., 
which have their sourc(!S in the Bitter Root Mts. 
The Hell Gate R. is formed by the Deer Lodge 
R. and Little Blackfoot II., aiid receives Stony 
and Flint Crs. and Bitter Root R. Deer Lodge 
li. rises in the great bend of the Rocky Mts., 
near Deer Lodge Pass, and flows through a very 
beautiful and fertile valley, 450 sq. nils, of which 
can be irrigated and cultivated. The valley of 
the Bitter Root R. includes some of the finest 
agricultural land in Mont., probably exceeding 
7.50 sq. mis. in area. 

The source streams of the Missouri are Jeflcr-

son, Madison and Gallatin Rs., -which unite near 
Gallatin citv. The largest of these is the Jef- 
ferson, which is fornned by the confluence of 
the ■Wisdom or Big Hole R., Beaver Head R., 
and Stinking Water R. Thev drain the great 
horse-shoe bend formed by the principal chain 
of the Rocky Mts.in r-eaver Head and Madison 
cos. Big Hole Prairie,on the banks of the river 
of the same name, about 50 nils, long and 16 
mis. wide, is covered with nutritious grass and 
affords one of the best summer grazing fields of 
the territory. 

Madison R., whose upper course is called Fire , 
Hole R., rises in the region of hot springs and 
gevsers near Yellow Stone Lake, which forms 
pai-t of the National Park in Wyo. Ter. Galla- 
tin R. is formed by the East anil West Forks. 
Its valley is separated from that of the Yellow 
Stone by a spur of the Rocky Mts. 

Below the junction of the three streams above 
named, the Missouri flows N. through a narrow 
but very fertile valley as far as St. Peter's Mis- 
sion, where it changes its course to the N. E., 
skii-ting the northern base of the Belt and High- 
wood Mts. Here it forms the Great Falls, about 
40 mis. above Fort Benton, the head of naviga- 
tion. From the intersection of the 48th paral- 
lel with the 110th meridian, to the state line, 
the Missoiiri follows an easterly course. Its 
tributaries in Mont, are numerous. Noith 
Bowlder Cr., Prickly Bear Or., Deerborn R., 
Teton R. and Marias R. rise in the principal 
chain of the Rocky Mts. Deep R. flows through 
a valley of the Belt Mts., which contains good 
farm and grazing land. Milk R., a large stream, 
rises in British America and joins the IMissouri 
near long. 10G° 15'. Judith and Muscle Shell Rs. 
rise in the Belt Mts. 

The Yellow Stone R. is the outlet of the lake 
of the same name, which lies in the National 
Park, in Wyo., flows N., then turns N. E. and 
empties into the Missouri R. below Fort 
Union, near the eastern boundary of Mont. In 
length and size it is not infei-ior to the parent 
stream, and for small vessels it is navigable for 
330 mis. Its largest tributaries, the Big Horn, 
Tongue and Powder Rs., rise in Wyo. 

The Climate of Mont, is much warmer than 
that of the states further E. in the same lati- 
tude- The mean annual temperature of the 
eastern portion of the territory varies from 
44° to 48° Fahr., and corresponds with that of 
southern Mass. and Conn.j (3° of lat. further S. 
The mountainous portion is colder, on account 
of its greater elevation, but many of the shel- 
tered valleys have so mild a climate that fruit 
and grain are successfully cultivated. At Fort 
Owen, on the Bitter Root R., 3,284 feet above 
the sea, the mean temperature of spring has 
been found to be 48° ; of summer, 69.50° ; of fall, 
45.50°, and of winter, 24.75°, making a yearly 
mean of 46.75°. Observations made at Deer 
Lodge City, in an elevation of 4,768 feet, show 
the mean temperature of spring to be 41..')0° ; of 
summer, 63= ; of fall, 43.16°; of winter, 20.50°, and 
of the year, 41.20°. 

The great distance of the territoi-y from the 
seaboard renders the climate very dry. The 
great*;r portion receives but 12 inches of moist- 
ure (rain and snow) during the year. The 
western mountain slopes, being exposed to the 
winds from the Pacific Ocean, receive 16 inches 
and somewhat over. 

The mountains of Mont, are usually well 
timbered, but the woods consist almost exclu- 
sively of willow, poplar aud coniferous trees 
(pine, flr, spruce, cedar and balsam). Hickory, 
oak or other hard woods have not yet been 
found in the territory. 

Popi/Zrt<ion.— Mont, was settled by emigrants 
from other states, and organized as a territory 
under an Act of Congress approved May 26, 1SG4. 
According to the census report, the popula- 
tion in 1870 was 39,895, including 18,806 whites, 
183 colored persons, 1,949 Chinese and 19,457 In- 



dians, of whom all but 157 sustained tribal rela' 
tions and led a nomadic life. The natives of 
the United States numbered 12,616, of whom 
1,693 were born in the territorv, 468 in Iowa, 523 
in Kv., 333 in Me., 142 in Md.. 1,305 in Mo.. 296 in 
Mass., 218 in Mich., 101 in N. H., 118 in N. J., 1.683 
in N. Y., 1.127 in Ohio, 911 in Pa., 185 in Vt., 375 in 
Va. and W. Va., 256 in Wis., and 185 in Utah, 
The foreign-born population numbered 7,979, 
including 1,172 natives of British America, 1,233 
of Germany, 692 of England, 1,635 of Ireland 
and 141 of Sweeden. 

The population of 10 years and over num- 
bered r^,170, of whom 14,048 were engaged in 
the different useful occupations, viz. : 2,111 in 
agriculture, 2,674 in professional and personal 
services, 1,233 in trade and transportation, and 
8,030 in mining, mechanical trades and manu- 
factures. 

Minerals and Mining.— With regard to mineral 
resources, Mont, is one of the most favored 
sections of the Union. Veins of gold, silver, 
copper, lead and coal have been discovered in. 
nearly all the explored mountain districts. 
PlaceVmines are numerous, and are found even 
near the summits of tlie mountains. The mines 
on Cedar Cr. are believed to be rich enough to 
furnish profitable employment to from 5,000 to 
10,000 miners. The territory has over 700 mis. 
of ditches, constructed at a cost of $3,500,000. It 
is estimated that $100,000,000 of gold have been 
taken from the mines since 1863, and that the 
yield in 1870 amounted to .5(12,000,000. Silver is 
found in the Flint Cr. Valley, in the Belt Mts., 
near Helena, and other localities. Near Fort 
Howie and Bannock City are productive cop- 
per mines. Bituminous coal hasbeen discovered 
along Dearliorn and Bigliole Rs,, and in the' 
Mullen and Bozeman Passes. 

Agriculture.— T^ie valleys In the mountain re- 
gion embrace large bodies of highly productive 
farm lands, which in their natural state are 
covered with nutritious grasses, and when 
properly cultivated and Irrigated will certainly 
be a source of great wealth. 

In 1870 there were 84,674 acres of improved 
land, 1,198 acres of woodland, and .53,665 acres of 
other unimproved land in the farms of the terri- 
tory. The cash val«e of farms was $729,193, and 
of "farm productions, including additions to 
stock, .$1,676,660. 

There were 177,.5.35 bush, of spring wheat, 3,649 
bush, of winter wheat, 1,141 bush, of rye, 320 
bush, of Indian-corn, 149,367 bush, of oats, 85,756 
bush, of barley, 91,477, bush, of Irish pot's, 600 
lbs. of tobacco, 408,080 lbs. of butter and 18,727 
tons of hay. 

As a grazing region Mont, is believed to be 
unsurpassed. The grass is abundant and of 
good quality, and the winters are mild in the 
sheltered valleys of the mountain belt. " I know 
of no business," writes Governor B. F. Potts, 
" which offers such solid inducements as stock 
raising in Mont. Men long engaged In the busi- 
ness assure me that the profits exceed four per

KEBRASKA is bounded on the N. by T)ak. 
Ter., from which It is partly separated by the 
Keya Palui H., the Nebraska R. and the Missou- 
ri a.; on the K. by Iowa and Mo., from which 
it Is separated by the INIissouri K.; on the S. by 
Kans. and Col. Ter., and on the W. by Wyo. Ter. 
It lies between 40° and 43° N. lat., auU 95° 13' and 
104° W. long., and its area Is 75,995 sq. mis., or 
48,636.800 acres. The length from E. to W. is 412 
mis., and the width from N. to S. 208 mis. 

Surface. — Nebr. is a part of that vast plain 
Avhich extends along the eastern base of the 
Rocky Mts., and gentlj^ slopes down toward the 
Mississippi R. The surface is flat or gently un- 
dulating. There are no ranges or elevations in 
the state that might be termed mountains. The 
soil consists for the most part of a black and 
Ijorous loam, which is slightly mixed with sand 
aud lime. The streams flow in deeply eroded 
valleys with broad alluvial flood-grounds or 
■bottoms of the greatest fertility, which are gen- 
erally well timbered with cottonwood, poplar, 
ash and other deciduous trees. The uplands 
are uncluUiting pi'airies, presenting an almost 
unlimited tielil for stock raising and wool grow- 
ing. Thousands of cattle are annually brought 
from Tex. and fattened on the wild grasses of 
these prairies. 

Late surveys establish the fact that the ag- 
gregate area of the bottom-lands is from 13,000,- 
000 to 14,000,000 of acres. 

In the N. W. part of the state are the so-called 
"mauvaises terres," or bad lauds, extensive 
tracts of country which are covered with rocks 
and hills Avorn into the most wierd and fanci- 
ful forms ; and in the N. part are sand hills or 
domes, which have been raised by the prevailing 
winds piling up the dry and loose materials of 
which they ai-e composed into their present 
picturesque forms. 

liivers. — The Missouri, after traversing Dak. 
Ter., forms part of the northern and the whole 
of the eastern boundary of the state. It flows 
through a vast bottom bounded by lofty blufls, 
and has within the state but two large tributa- 
ries, the Niobrara and the Nebraska, or Platte, 
Rs. The former intersects the northern tier of 
counties and receives Smoky R., Keya Paha R. 
and other affluents. The principal stream of 
the state, the Platte R., is formed by the North 
and South Porks uniting near North Platte, in 
Lincoln co., and then flows in a general east- 
ward direction, joining the Missouri above 
riattsniouth. It is a fine stream, earrj'ing an 
immense body of water during the rainy season; 
but owing to its broad and shallow bed is not 
navigable. All its tributaries of importance 
come from the N., as Wood R., Loup Pork, with 
its immerous branches. Elk Horn R. and others. 
With the exception of Salt (Jr., no stieaiu flows 
into the Platte on the S., the \\ aters on that 
side, though rising in some cases within 10 mis. 
of its banks, running to the S. E. and joining 
the Republican Pork of the Kansas R., which 
flows through the southern part of Nebr. These 
streams are Muddy Cr., Little Blue K., with Big 
Sandv Or., ami the Big Blue R., with numerous 
branches and alflueuts. The smaller streams 



which join the Missouri are Great Nemaha R., 
Little Nemaha R., which drains the south-east- 
ern counties, Weeping AVater R. and others. 

The ClivKile of Nebr. is on the whole similar 
to that of other states of the great Mississippi 
plain in the same latitude. The' niean annual 
temperature varies from 47° in the most north- 
ern section to 53° in the most southern. But 
owing to the greater elevation, the western part 
of the state is somewhat colder than the eastern. 
In winter the westerly winds, sweeping down 
from the Rocky Mts., often depress the ther- 
mometer to 20° and sometimes to even 30° below 
zero ; while in summer a temperature of 100^ 
and over is not unusual. In the southern tier 
of counties the mean temperature of jummer 
is 761^°, and of winter, 30i^°. 

The greatest amount of rain and snow (28 and 
SOinches) falls in the Missouri Valley, and thence 
westward the rain-fall steadily decreases to 24 
inches near Fort Kearney, 16 inches in tlie west- 
ern counties and 12 inches in the S. W. corner 
of the state. 

Population. — Nebr. had, in 1860, a population 
of 28,841, and in 1870, of 122,993. Of these, 92,245 
were natives of the United States, including 
18,425 natives of the state. The foreign-boru 
population numbered 30,748 ; of whom 2,635 were 
born in British America, 10,954 in Germany, 299 
in Austria, 593 in Switzerland, 2,352 in Sweden, 
506 in Norway, 4,616 in England, Scotland anci 
Wales, and 4,999 iu Ireland. The colored popu- 
lation was small, numbering but 789, and the 
last census reports but 87 Indians. 

Minerals and Mining. — Although no traces of 
the precious metals have thus far been discov- 
ered, Nebr. is rich in mineral treasures. Pro- 
ductive coal fields underlie the greater part of 
the state, and mines are in operation along the 
Platte R., near Pawnee City, on Nemaha R. and 
in other localites. The salt basins of Nebr. are 
rich aiul extensive. The principal one is located 
iu Lancaster co., surrounding the city of Lin- 
coln, and embracing an area of 12 by 25 mis. 
The brine from the springs yields 29 per cent, 
by weight of good salt. In the same co. there 
are inexhaustible quarries of sandstone, which 
is very soft when quarried, but hardens by ex- 
posure to the air. Blue limestone is found near 
the head waters of Salt Cr., and near Lincoln, 
and beautiful gray magnesian limestone, as 
susceptible of flue polish as Italian marble. 

Agriculture. — About one-fourth of the area of 
Nebr., embracing the Bad Lands and Sand Hills 
of the N. W., IS unfit for farming; another 
fourth consists of the rich alluvial river bot- 
toms, and the remaining half of undulating 
prairie uplands. By the IJnited States agricul- 
tural report for 1872, the average crops are as 
follows: Oats, 40 bush, per acre; barley, 'i\l^ 
bush.; rye, 21V^ bush.; hay, 1% tons; pot's, 120 
hush.; wheat, 173^ bush.," and corn, 39 bush. 
These figures attest the extraordinary fertility 
of the farm lands of the state. 

In 1870 the farms embraced 2,073,781 acres, of 
which 647,031 acres were improved laud, 213.371 
acres woodland and the remainder unim]n-oved. 
The number of farms was 12,301, against 2,789 in 
1860. 

The total value of farms was $30,242,186, and of 
farm productions, including additions to stock 
etc., (^8,601,724. The principal productions are 
spring wheat, 2,109,321 bush.; winter wheat, 15,- 
765 bush.; rye, 13,532 bush.; Indian-corn, 4,736,710 
bush.; oats, 1,477,.562 bush.; barley, 21ii,481 bush.; 
Irish pot's, 739,984 bush.; tobacco, 5,988 lbs.; wool, 
74,6.55 lbs.; butter, 1,. 539,535 lbs.; hay, 169,354 tons, 
and sorghum molasses, 77,598 gals. 

The total live slock had a value of $6,.551,1S.5, 
anil comprised 30,511 horses, 2,632inules and ass- 
es, 28,940 milch cows, 5,931 working oxen, 45,057 
otner cattle, 22,725 sheep and 59,449 swine. 

The Manvfaciuring interests of the state arc 
as yet little developed. In 1870 there were 670 
manufacturing establishments, employing l,S6a

horse-power in steam-engines, 1,446 horse-power 
in water-wheels, 2,665 operatives and ^'2,160,963 
of capital. The products had a value of $5,738,- 
512 ; $1,429,913 of wages were paid, and $2,902,074 
worth of raw materials were consumed. The 
principal products of industry were flour and 
meal, $1,516,150; boots and shoes, $195,722; car- 
pentering and building, $535,520; distilled li- 
quors, $146,789 and malt liquors, $83,832. 

The Commerce of Nebr. is exclusively domes- 
tic and restricted to the importation "from the 
oldor states of groceries, manufactures and ar- 
ticles of luxury, and shipping cattle and country 
produce. Thus far, however, but little pi'oduce 
IS shipped, as the constant influx of immigrants 
requires its retention at home. 

The railroads are being pushed forward with 
great enersrv. In 1865 the length of railroads 
M'as 122 mlV; in 1868, 473 mis.; in 1S70, 705 mis.; 
in 1871, 943 mis., and in 1872, 1,051 mis. The Union 
Pacific R. K. extends from Omaha through the 
entire length of the state, and in the main fol- 
lows the valley of the Platte R. The Burling- 
ton & Missouri River R. R. runs alon^ the val- 
ley of the Platte R. from Plattsmoulh to Ash- 
land, and thence to Lincoln and to the junction 
(vith the Union Pacific R. R., W. of Fort Kear- 
ney. The Midland Pacific R. R. extends from 
Nebraska City on the Missouri R. to Seward, 
Seward co. Tlie Omaha & Northwestern R. R. 
is in operation from Omaha to Herman, Wash- 
ington CO., anil will be extended to Niobrara R. 
The Omaha & Southwestern R. R. consists of 
two lines : the one runningfromOmahato Oma- 
ha Junction on the Burlington & Missouri River 
11. R. and the other from Crete, on the last- 
named line, to Beatrice, Gage co., following the 
vallej' of the Big Blue R. The northern part of 
the Atchison & Nebraska R. R. is within this 
state and extends from the southern state line, 
near the Missouri R., to Lincoln. The Fremont, 
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley R. R. has been com- 
pleted from Fremont to "Wisner, Cuming co., 
and will be extended to the Niobrara R. 

Wealth, Taxation and Indebtedness. — In 1870 
the true or estimated value of real and personal 
estate was $69,277,483, and the assessed value 
$54,584,616, of which $.38,365,999 was for real es- 
tate, and $16,218,617 for personal property. The 
State Board of Equalization reports the as- 
sessed valuation of both kinds of property 
for 1871 to have been $55,549,868, and for 1872, $69^- 
323,9.50, showing an increase during the last year 
of $14,323,950. 

The total state debt on the 1st of January, 
1873, was $292,595, while the resources of the 
state on the same day amounted to $836,023, viz.: 
$3.56,634 cash in treasury, $244,558 taxes due, $215,- 
321 delinquent taxes due, and $19,510 militia ex- 
penses due from the United States. 

The total receipts during the year 1872 were 
$1,058,704, and the expenditures $739,616. 

Education, Press, etc. — Nebr. has more organ- 
ized schoolSj more school-houses, and those of 
a superior enaracter ; more money invested in 
buildings, books, etc., than M'ere ever had \ie- 
fore by any state of the same age. The land en- 
dowment for tlie public schools embraces one- 
eighteenth of the entire area of the state, 2,623,- 
080 acres. The Governor is of the opinion that 
the whole educational system, from common 
school to university, can be made entirely in- 
dependent of the state. 

In 1870 the number of school districts was 1,032; 
Of persons in the school age, 41,063, and of these 
there were enrolled in the public schools 2:i,15S. 
An excellent Normal School for the training of 
teachers is located at Peru, Nemaha co. The 
S^Ate University is at Nebraska City. The State 
Asylum for the Deaf and Duml), at Omaha, was 
opened in 1869. At Lincoln are the State Luna- 
tic Asylum and the State Penitentiary. 

The number of newspapers published in the 
state was 42, with a circulation of 31,600, viz.: 7 
dailies, 1 tri- weekly, 30 weeklies and 4 monthlies. 



Government. — Nebraska was organized as a 
territory in May, 1854. A constitution was 
framed by the State Convention and ratified 
l>y the people in 1866, and in Januarj^, 1867, 
Nebraska was admitted into the Union as a 
state. The executive power is vested in a Gov- 
ernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, 
Treasurer, and Auditor. These officers are 
elected for two years, except the Auditor, who 
is elected for four years. 

The Legislature consists of a Senate atd a 
House of Representatives. The former hai* 13 
members, the latter 29 members. All male citi- 
zens of the United States, who have resided 6 
months in the State, and ten days in ti^e district 
m which they offer to vote, are legal electors. 

The Judiciary comprises a Supreme Court, 
District Courts, Probate Courts, and Justices 
of the Peace. The Supreme Court consists of a 
Chief Justice and two Associate .Justices, 
elected for a period of 6 years. The state is 
divided into three judicial' districts, in each of 
which one of the supreme court justices holds 
District Court Sessions. 

Nebraska is divided into the following coun- 
ties : Adams, Antelope, Arapahoe, Black Bird, 
Boone, Buffiilo, Burt, Butler, Cass, Cedar, 
Cheyenne, Clay, Colfax, Citming, Dakota, Daw- 
son," Dixon, Dodge, Douglas, Fillmore, Frank-

NEVADA extends from 114° to 120° W. long., 
and the northern boundary coincides with the 
42 parallel of N. lat. On the S. E. it is bounded 
by the Colorado R., and on the S. W. bj^ a line 
drawn from the intersection of 39° N. lat. with 
120° W. long, to the right bank of the Colorado 
near Fort Mojave in 35° N. lat. The area is 112,- 
090 sq. mis., or 71,737,600 acres. 

iS'i/ryoce.— Nev. forms part of tlie elevated 
plain l\'ing Ijetween the Sierra Nevada and the 
Wahsatch Mts., and known to geographers as 
the Great Basin. It has a mean elevation of 
over 4,000 feet, and is traversed from N. to S. by 
numerous mountain ranges from 1,000 to 6,000 
feet above the general level of the country, 
which are separated from each other by valleys 
varying in width from 5 to 10 nils. The paral- 
leUsni of these mountains and valleys imparts 
to the country a character of great uniformity. 
The combined area of the valleys and the area 
occupied by the mountains and their foothills 
are very nearly equal. The Sierra Nevada, of 
California, bounds the basin on the W. by its 
steep eastern slope, and enters Nev. at only 
a single point, where it throws over the border 
a high flanking spur, the Washoe Mts. Along 
the base of the Sierra extends a depression ot 
the surface about 3,850 feet above the sea level, 
into which flow the Humboldt, Truckee, Car. 
son's and Quinn's Rs. From this depression the 
general level of the countrj^ rises gradually 
eastward to the border of the state, near which 
the valleys have a height of about 6,000 feet* 



NEVADA.

NEVADA. 



The mountains are mostly destitute of water, 
■with small rivulets or scanty springs at their 
bases. The lowest portion of every valley is 
occupied by an alkali flat, where in the winter 
the moisture collects and renders tlie clay-like 
jaud -bottomless and impassable. The three 
liighest ranges, which receive heavier snowfalls 
in winter and more abundant rains in summer, 
are the West Humboldt Mts., 100 mis. K. of the 
California state line; the East Humboldt Mts., 
75 mis. from the Utah line, and the Toj'abes, 
nearly intermediate between the two. Star 
Pk., the highest point of the West Humboldt 
Mts., is 10,000 feet high, and several pks. of the 
Southern Toyabe range from 10,000 to 12,000 
feet in elevation. Between the West Humboldt 
Mts. and the C'al. state line are the following 
ranges : Trinity Mts. and Autelojje Mts., form- 
ing one chain, which bounds the valley of the 
Lower Humboldt R. on the \V.; the Truckeo 
Mts., E. of Winnemucca Lake ; the Lake Range, 
between Winnemucca and Pyramid Lakes ; and 
the \'irginia Mts., W. of Pyramid Lake and ex- 
tending S. to within a shoii distance of Carsou 
City. ^ 

Between the Toyabe Mts. and the West Hum- 
boldt Mts., with their continuation N. of the 
Humboldt R., the Santa Rosa Mts., are the 
Pah-Ute Mts. and the Coyote Mts., with Pleas- 
ant, Grass and Regan Valleys. To the E. of 
the Toyabe extends Smoky Valley, which is 
separated from Monitor Valley by" the Smoky 
Range. In the southern prolongation of the 
East Humboldt Mts. is the White Pine Valley, 
which separates the Hot Creek and Reveille 
ranges. Still further E, there follow the Butte 
and Ruby valleys, Egau Mts., Steptoe Valley, Un- 
gaweah Mis., Ahtcl0]ie Valley and Goshoot Mts. 

The south-eastern portion of the state belongs 
to the Colorado Basin, measuring about 12,000 
sq. mis. A low broken range, with the pks. 
Tem Piute, Pahranegat and Picohe, forms its 
northern rim. Tlie surface is diversified by 
abrupt ranges, with intervening valleys. The 
most important are the Kingston, Spring Moun- 
tain, Vegas and Muddy Ranges, which greatly 
vary in height above tlie valleys. 

Rivers and Lakes. — The largest stream of 
Kev. is the Humboldt R. (see page il.")), which 
traverses the state from W. to E. and termin- 
ates in the large " sink," or mud ]ilain, which 
also receives the Carson R. The Truekee R. 
issues from Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada, 
Cal.; after a rapid tlescent breaks through the 
Virginia Mts., and turning N. eoipties into Py- 
ramid and Winnemucca lakes. Quinn's R. in- 
tersects the N. W. part of the state and termin- 
ates in the Black Rock Desert. Walker's Lake 
lies in Esmeralda co., and receives Walker's R., 
which rises in the Sierra Nevada. Reese R. 
traverses the valle.v W. of the Toyabe Mts. from 
S. to N., without, liowever, reaching the Hum- 
boldt R. These rivers are all small, but for a 
region so arid and destitute of water have great 
economical value. 

The Great Colorado R. of the West intersects 
the soutliern extremity of Nev. and then forms 
part of the S. E. boundary, separating it from 
Ariz. Ter. A few small creeks are the only 
tributaries it receives from this state. 

Climale and Vegetation. — The climate of Nev. 
is charaetcrized by great extremes — cold win- 
ters and hot summers — and by a very dry at- 
mosphere with but little rain" or snow. The 
annual amount of moisture falling in the two 
forms is roughly estimated at 18 inches, one- 
lialf between the months of April and Novem- 
ber inclusive. In the warmer months the rains 
are always limited and of short duration. Dew 
is almost unknown. 

The vegetation of Nev. is very scanty, espec- 
ially in the southern part of tlie slate, but no- 
where is the surface entirely destitute of plant 
life, except on the alkali flats of the valleys. 
The sage-brush, or Artemisia, covers extensive 



tracts. Along the streams extend belts of 
meadow-land. Timber is scarce, continuous 
forests are wanting, and the slopes of some of 
the mountain ranges only support small groves 
of trees. 

Population.— Th& aggregate population in 1870 
was 42,491, of whom 38,7.i9 were white, 347 color- 
ed, 3,l.i2 Chinese and 23 Indians. 

The number of persons born in the United 
States was 23,690, of whom 2,313 were natives of 
Nev.; and in foreign countries, 18,801, of whom 
2,3.i6 were born in British America, 2,.'>4y in Eng- 
land, 5,035 in Ireland and 2,1 U in Germany. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
26,911 persons, viz.: 2,070 in agriculture, 7,431 in 
personal and professional services, 3,021 in trade 
and transportation and 13,789 in mining, me- 
chajiical tradesjind manufactures. 

Mineral.^ and2Iinia(/. — Nev. is preeminently 
a minin;? state. In 1872 it produced nearly one- 
half of all the bullion produced W. of the Mis. 
souri R. Tlie state then had 162 mills and fur- 
naces, with l,90t stamps, and capable of reduc- 
ing daily 5,18;} tons of ore. Tlu; mills turned 
out, for 187), $520,010,175, and for 1872,.'5i23,719,212 iu 
gold and silver bullion, besides several thou- 
sand tons of le.ad, copper and antimony. The 
cos. which produced more than $1,000,000 in bul- 
lion in 1871 were the following : Lander, 42,09-.),- 
014 ; Lincoln. ^i,604,S33 ; Storey, $10,644,704 ; White 
Pine, $1,223,26(;, 

The richest silver and gold deposit of the 
state, and prolmbly in the world, is the famous 
" Comstock Lode "in the Virginia Range, Storey 
CO. It crops out on the eastern slope of the 
range at an altitude of about 2,000 feet above 
the level of the plains, and has been clearly 
traced about 4 mis., within two of which are 
the portions that have thus far been developed. 
The '-Sutro Tunnel," now in progress of con- 
struction, is intended to facilitate the working 
of the mines on the Comstock Lode, by pene- 
trating the vein at a greater depth. When 
completed it will make easy the dramingof the 
mines, and will allow the ores to be bro\ight to 
the surface at an easj' grade, thus avoitling the 
expense of pumping and hoisting from great 
dejjths. 

Agriculture. — The soil of the valle5'S is not 
lacking in the elements required for plants, but 
the aridity of the climate restricts the lands lit 
for farming to the areas that may be irrigated. 
The Land Office report for 1869 estimates tlio 
agricultural lands at 17,608,960 acres (embracing 
meadow lauds bordering on rivers, lakes ana 
mountain streams, also the richest ]iortion of 
the sage-brush lands, contiguous to the rivers), 
thegrazinglandat 23,998,720 acres, and reclaima- 
ble swamp lanils at 74,800 acres. 

In 1870 there were 92,644 acres of unimproved 
land, 13,415 acres of woodland and 102,451 acres 
of unimproved lands in farms. The cash value 
of farms was $1,1n5,.")05, and the estimated value 
of all farm productions, including adiiitions to 
stock, etc., $1,659,713. The principal products 
were: Spiinu wheat. 147,987 bush.; winter wheat, 
80,879 bush.; Indian-corn, 9,660 bush.; oats, 55,- 
916 bush.; barley, 295,452 bush.; pot's, 129,249 
bush.; wool, 27,029 lbs.; butter, 110,880 lbs., and 
hav, 33,855 tons. 

'I'he live stock had a value of $1,445,449, and 
comprised 7,.520 horses, 990 mules, ().174 milch 
cows, 2,434 working oxen, 22,899 other ealtie, 
11,018 sheep and 3,295 swine. 

Maaiifdcl lives. — Tlu^ last census reports 330 
inanufaeturing establishments, employing 120 
steam-engines with 6,007 horse-power and 2,8.59 
hands. The capital invested was $.5,127,799; the 
wages paid amounted to $2,498,473. The raw 
material consumed had a value of $10,315,984, and 
the products of $15,870,.539. This sum included 
$260,000 for reduced and refined gold and silver ; 
$12,119,719 for milled quartz ; $8i)t,6(X) for ))ig 
lead ; $641,2.50 for irou castings, and $432,500 for 
sawed lumber.

Railroads.— The Central Pacific R. R. passes 
through the northern part of the state. It enters 
Nev. at the Truckee II., follows this stream 
down to the Big Uond, tlience crosses the desert 
to llinnboldt Lake ; thence follows the Hum- 
boldt R. to about the 115tli meridian, where it 
lf,aves tlie valley of this riverand strikes across 
tlie state in an E. N. E. direction to Utah Ter. 
The Virginia & Truckee R. R., connecting Vir- 
ginia City and Carson City with Reno on tlie 
Central Pacific R. R., is 51 nils, long, and has 
done much to developc the three cos. through 
whicli it passes, viz.: Storey, Ormsby and Wa- 
shoe. Several oilier roads have been projected. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— The total amount 
cf taxable property,as shown by the assessment 
lists of the various cos., was, iii 1871, $20,901,009 ; 
£»nd in 187'2, !ji'2-2,879,115, showing an increase in 
the latter year of $1,978,035. The hist census re- 
port gives the true value of real and personal 
estate in 1870 at $31,131,012. 

The total receipts for the fiscal year ended on 
December 31, 1872, amounted to $1,284,48.5 in coin, 
of which $420,808 were received from the county 
treasurers for taxes, tolls, etc., and $500,000 for 
the sale of state bonds. The disbursements 
were $1,041,930, leaving a balance on hand of 
$236,555. 

The total indebtedness of Xev. on December 
31, 1873, was $720,450, of which $500,000 were bond- 
ed, $10,000 accrued interest,aiid $49,790 outstand- 
ing unpaid warrants. 

J£ducalioii and Press. — The sj'stem of public 
instruction now in operation was established in 
1801, and has thus far worked well. In 1873 there 
"were 4,950 children in the state between Oand 18 
years of age ; the number of children enrolled 
111 public schools was 3,372, and of children at- 
tending private schools, 439, leaving 1,410 chil- 
dren reported as not attending any school. Tlie 
number of male teachers was 29 ami of female 
teachers 47. The total school expenses in all 
the cos. amounted to $98,409, being $24,032 more 
than in the preceding year. 

In 1870 tliere were 12 papers published in the 
Btate, which had a circulation of 11,300. Five of 
these papers were dailies, two semi-weeklies 
and five weeklies. 

Government.— Nev. is a part of the territory 
acquired from Mexico in 1848. It was organized 
as a territory in 1801, and was admitted into the 
Union as a state in 1804. 

Every male citizen of the United States, of 
the age of 21 years and upward, who shall have 
actually resided in the state six mouths, and in 
the district or co. 30 days next preceding an 
election, shall be entitled to vote. 

The legislative authority is vested in the Sen- 
ate and Assembly. The members of the As- 
sembly, 30 in number, are chosen biennially for 
two years. The Senators, 18 in number, are 
chosen at the same time and places as mem- 
bers of the Assembly, for four years. The ses- 
sions of the Legis'lature are biennial, com- 
mencing on the first Monday of January next 
ensuing the election of members of the Assem- 
bly. 

The executive government consists of the 
Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of 
State, Treasurer, Comptroller, Surveyor-Gene- 
ral, and Attorney-General, who are elected by 
the qualified electors at the time and places of 
voting for the members of the Legislature. 
They hold their oflices for four years. 

The judicial power is vested In a Supreme 
Court, District Court, and in Justices of the 
Peace. The Supreme Court consists of a Cliief 
Justice and two Associate Justices, who are 
elected by the people and hold their offlcos for 
theterm'ofO years. This court has appellate 
jurisdiction in all cases of equity, in all cases 
at law in which is involved the title or posses- 
sion of real estate and mining claims ; and on 
questions of law in criminal cases, in which 
the case charged amounts to felony. The state 



is divided into 9 judicial disti'icts. The District 

Judges are elected by the people for the term 

of 4 years. 

Nevada is divided into the following 13 coun- 
ties: Douglas.Elko, Esmeralda, Humboldt, Lan- 
der, Lincoln, Lyon, Nye, Ormsby, Roop, Storey, 

Washoe, and White Pine. 
The state capital is Carson City. 

Nevadla, new co. in Ark., S. W. part. Area, 
025 sq. mis. Was formed from portions of 
Ouachita and Columbia cos. The surface is 
rolling and on the whole well timbered. The 
valleys contain much excellent soil. The 
Little Missouri R., a tributary of the Washita 
R., forms the northern boundary and drains 
the northern part of the co. with Cypress 
Bayou and Terre Rouge Cr. The southern 
part is drained by Bayou Badeau and Bayou 
Dorcheat, affluents of the Red R. MoLiit 
Moriah is the co. seat. 

Nevada, co., in Cal., E. part. Area about 1,100 
sq. mis. Pop., 19,134 ; in 1800, 16,400. It is separat- 
ed from Sierra co. by the Middle Fork of the 
Yuba R. and drained by the South Fork of 
the same. The surface is mountainous. The 
Sierra Nevada trends through the E. part of 
the CO. and bears pks. over 9,000 feet in ele- 
vation. The spurs and foot hills of the Sierra 
descend in height from E. to W., and are in- 
terspersed with numerous fertile valleys and 
prairies. There are several lakes in the high 
Sierra, of which Donner is the largest and 
most beautiful. Cereals, fruits and vegeta- 
bles are cultivated to a considerable extent. 
The vine thrives well on the hill-sides and 
yields abundantly. Gold mining is the prin- 
cipal occupation. The Central Pacific R. R. 
intersects the S. part of the co. Nevada 
City is the co. seat. Agr. productions in 1870 : 
Wheat, 585 bush.; rye, 80 bush.; Indian-corn, 
300 bush.; oats, 190 bush.; Irish pot's, 5,518 
bush.; butter, 50,741 lbs.; hay, 4,804 tons. Cash 
value of farms, $508,750. Total, estimated, 
value of all farm productions, including ad- 
ditions to stock, etc., $371,005. Value of man- 
ufactures, $1,293,809.

NEW HAMl^SHIRE, one of the New Eng- 
land states; is bounded on the X. by Canada, 
on the E. by the Atlantro Ocean and by Maine, 
from whicli it is partly separated by the Pisca- 
taqua E., on the S. by Mass., and oii the W. by 
Vt., from which it is separated by the Connec- 
ticut K. It extends from t'2° 41' to 45° 11' N. lat., 
and from 70° 40' to 72° 28' W. long. Its area is 
9,2S0 sq. nils., or 5.939,200 acres. 

The sea-coast is but 18 mis. long, and termin- 
ates in the N. at the estuary of the Piscatacjua 
R. Nine mis. off the coast are the Isles of Shoals, 
a group of 8 rocky islands, the largest of which 
contains 350 acres. 

Surface. — Along the sea-coast extends a tract 
of low and level land, some 30 mis. wide and 
partly occupied by salt marshes. Excepting this 
small tract N. H. is hilly and mountainous, as 
it forms part of that large belt of elevations 
which extends from Me. into Conn., and is di- 
viiled from the Green Mountain system by the 
Connecticut R. In the southern part of the state 
this undulating high-land belt supports several 
lofty groups or isolated pks., as Mts. Monad- 
nock, Sunapee, Kearsarge, etc.; but it is in the 
northern part that it culminates in the famous 
"White Mts., which in height are surpassed by the 
Black Mts. of N. C. only, but in grandeur of 
scenery are unapproached by any other chain 
of the Appalachian System. They form a 
plateau, occupying the southern part of Coos 
CO. and the northern parts of Carroll and Graf- 
ton COS., and are deeply furrowed and rifted 
by a number of torrents, as the Ammonoosuc, 
Baker's, Femlgewasset, Swift, Saco, Ellis, Wild 
»ind Peabody Rs. On this plateau rise lofty 
pks. either in ranges or irregularly distributed 
in isolated summits. 

Mt. Washington, 6,288 feet above the sea, is the 
highest peak of the whole region and of the 
White Mts. proper, which form a chain between 
the head waters of the Ammonoosuc and Mount 
Washington Rs. The latter is tlie name of the 
upper course of the Saco. The chain extends 
N. E. and S. W. In the part lying S. W. of Mt. 
Washington it supports Mts. Monroe, .5,3:^4 feet ; 
Franklin, 4,904 feet ; Pleasant, 4,764 feet ; Clin- 
ton, 4,320 feet ; Jackson and Webster ; and 
in the part lying N. are Mounts Clay, 5,553 
feet; Adams, 5,714 feet; Jefferson, 5,794 feet, 
and Madison, 5,365 feet. Other chains, scarcely 
less elevated, branch off" from Mt. Washing- 
ion in a southerly direction between Mount 
Washington R. and Rocky Branch, and in a 
south-easterly direction between Rocky Branch 
and Ellis R. 

The plateau which extends froniMt. Webster 
to the W., between the upper course of the Am- 
monoosuc from the East Branch of the Pemi- 
gewasset R., is crowned with Willey Mt., Twin 
Mt. and many other peaks exceeding 4,000 feet in 
height. It connects in the W. with the Fran- 
couia Mts,, a chain trending N. and S. between 
the East and West Branches of the Pemigewas- 
set and bearing the following peaks ; Bald Mt.; 
JEagle Cliff, 3,146 feet ; Mt. La Fayette, or Cireat 
Haystack, 5,290 feet, and Flume Mt., about 4,500 
feet. The valley which separates the western 
base of the Franconia Mts. from the Profile Mt. 
and Mt. Pemigewasset is traversed by the East 
40 



Branch of the Pemigewasset R. and the South 
Branch of the Ammonoosuc K. 

The White Mts. proper and the Franconia 
Mts., with the plateau intervening between the 
two ranges, constitute the principal group ot 
the system, but are surrounded on all sides by 
lower chains and peaks. Tlie wliole system 
covers an area of over SOO sq. rals. The best de- 
scription of the numerous objects of interest 
which are crowded together in this narrow 
space, and of the different routes leading to 
them, is contained in: "New England, a Hand- 
book for Travelers," etc., published by .James R. 
Osgood, of Boston, in 1S73. A very popular route 
is the one via Conway, up the Saco R. to Bartlett, 
and thence along the Ellis R. to the Glen House, 
or along the upper course of the Saco to th(j 
Crawford House. From both these hotels, roads 
lead to Mt. Washington, the ascent of which now 
may be made by a railroad completed in 1869, 
on "the plans of Sylvester Marsh. The track 
has a grade of 3,625 feet in three nils., or of 1 
foot in i}4. The chief peculiarity of the track 
is a heavily notched iron center-rail, into which 
plays a center cog-wheel on the locomotive. 
The ascent is made in 90 minutes. The usual 
route to the Franconia Mts. is from the Ammo- 
noosuc R. to the Profile House and Flume 
House in the Pemigewasset Valley. The new 
Fabyan House and the Twin Mountain House 
are situated on the road leading from Bethle- 
hem up the Ammonoosuc R. to the Crawford 
House, or Ammonoosuc Station, the initial 
point of the Mt. Washington R. R. 

Hirers and LaJces.—'i'ha principal stream of 
N. H. is tlie Connecticut R., which rises in the 
north-eastern corner, and from its junction 
with Hall's Stream forms the entire western 
boundary of the state. Its principal afiiuents 
in N. H. are Perry's Stream, Indian Stream, 
Hall's Stream, the Ammonoosuc R., the Mink 
R., or Lower Ammonoosuc, R., rising in the 
White Mts.,Mascony R., Sugar R., which drains 
Lake Sunapee,andAshnelot R., which intersecta 
Cheshire co. and joins the Connecticut near the 
S. W. corner of the state. The Merrimac R. is 
formed by the confluence of the Pemigewasset 
R., whicli rises in the White Mts., and the Win- 
nipiseogee R., and intersects the southern half 
of the state from N. to S. It receives from the 
AV. the Contoocook R., the Piscataquoi R. and 
the Souhegan R.; anil from the E. the Suucook 
R. The Plscataqua R. is formed by the conflu- 
ence of the Salmon Falls R. and Cocheco R., 
and forms, with the first-named branch, part 
of the eastern boundary of the state. The Saco 
and Androscoggin Rs., belonging chiefly to the 
neighboring state of Me., water eastern N. H. 
with portions of their courses. 

The largest lake of the state is Wlnnipiseogee, 
or Winnepesaukee, which receives the outlet 
of Squani Lake. Ossipee Lake lies E. of the 
latter, and is drained by the Ossipee R., a trilni- 
tary of the Saco. Umbagog Lake, belonging to 
the Androscoggin system, lies ^jartly in N. 
H. Beside these larger sheets ot water, this 
state has numerous smaller ones in nearly all 
parts of its territory. 

The Climate of N. H. is rigid, and especially in 
the more elevated mountains are the winters 
long and very severe. The summers are mild 
and pleassant, although a temperature of over 
100° in the shade is not of rare occurrence. The 
mean annual temperature varies froih 38° in 
Coos CO. and the White Mts. to 48° in the south- 
ern parts of the state. The rain-fall averages 
from 10 to 14 inches in summer, from to 12 
inches in winter and from 32 to 40 inches during 
the year. The sea-coast and the Connecticut 
Valley receive the largest amount of precipita- 
tions. 

The Vegelation of N. H. comprises magnificent 
forests of oak, pine, beech, sugar maple, birch, 
etc., which cover the mountains and the north- 
ern part of the state. Willows, poplars and

KEW JERSEY. 



Is tlie soutliern extremity. The area is 7,576 sq. 
mis. or 4,848,640 acres. 

Surface.— This state may be divldea into three 
distinct sections. The north-western part is 
mountainous, being trarersed bj- a broad belt 
of ridges, belonging to the Appalachian System. 
The middle section consists of red sandstone 
wilh trap ridges, and is diversified by gentle 
untlulatious. The lower half of the state, with 
its suudy t.oil and its forests of pine, is compar- 
atively level, and forms a part of the Atlantic 
coast plain. 

The Appalachian Mts., in N. J., may be group- 
ed into two main ranges — the Blue or Kittatin- 
ny Mts. and the Highland Kange. The first is 
a continuation of tlie Shawangunk Mts. in N. Y"., 
and is almost an unbroken ridge from the north- 
ern boundary to the Delaware Water Gap. It 
is the culminating ground in the state, varying 
in height from 9'2o to 1,800 feet. The crest is al- 
most level and everywhere coveredwith forests. 
Between the foot of this range and the Dela- 
ware there is a line of rocky hills of limestone 
and slate, rising in irregular knobs and crests 
from 100 to 300 feet above the river. The High- 
land Kange is composed of a great number of 
mountain ridges, and occupies a belt of country 
2^ mis. wiile on the N. Y. state line, and 10 mis. 
wide on the Delaware li. The traveler who 
crosses this range from S. E. to N. W. passes 
over a succession of steep declivities, alternat- 
ing with low valleys. The crests rise from 300 
to 600 feet above the valleys. The principal di- 
visions of the range are Bear FortMt., Wa- 
wanda Mt., 1,450 feet high ; Hamburgh Mt., 
with Kutherford Hill, the highest point of the 
r.inge. 1,488 feet high; and Tochuck Mt. (all 
iiear the N. VV. boundary) ; Wallkill Mt. and 
Aiamuehe Mt. further to the S. W.: Jenny Jump 
Mt., Scott Mt. and Pohatoong Mt., in Warren 
CO.; Schooley's Mt., in Morris Co.; and Muscou- 
etcong Mt., near the S. W. end of the range, 986 
feet high. 

These ridges sink away with very gentle 
slopes toward the N. E., while their S. W. ter- 
minations are very abrupt. The Red Sandstone 
region extends as a broad belt along the E. base 
of the Highland Kange, and is traversed by ir- 
regularly' distributed ritlges of trap rock. The 
princip'al of these are Sourland Mt., in Hunter- 
don and Sonterset cos., and the Bergen Hill and 
Palisade Mt., in Hudson and Bergen cos. They 
are rough in outline, very abrupt in their de- 
scent toward the S. E. and gentle in their slope 
toward the N. W. High Point, in Passaic co., is 
the highest trap ridge of the state, and rises 868 
feet above the sea level. The southern half of 
N. J. is characterized bj' the absence of moun- 
tains or rocky eminences. Its rounded hills are 
all earthy. The Navasink Highlands, which 
trend along the sea-shore S, of Sandy Hook, are 
about 400 feet high. 

The marshes, which border the ocean and the 
tidal waters, form a striking feature of the state. 
They are usually covered with grass and sod, 
and their upper surface is nearly level with 
high water. Under the sod there is soft mud, 
too miry for horses and cattle to walk on. The 
entire area wluch they cover is about i95,474 
aci'es. 

Rivers, Lakes, etc. — N. J. is well watered in all 
its parts, and the abundance of its streams ren- 
ders perfect drainage very easy; while their 
rapid fall gives them great value for their 
water-power. The Hudson R. runs along the 
E. bortler for 28 mis., and owing to the position 
and structure of the Palisades, wliieh rise ab- 
ruptly on its western bank, receives but fe^ 
alfiuents from this state. The largest is the 
Wallkill, which traverses the Kittatinny Valley 
between the Blue Mts. and the Highland Range 
in a N. N. E. direction, and joins the Hudson in 
New York. 

The Hackensack R. flows nearly parallel with 
the Hudson and empties into Newark B., which 



also receives the Passaic R., a stream that 
drains about 800 sq mis. The valley is almost 
closed in by the Highlands on one side and the 
trap ridges on the other side. The Passaic is 
joinetl by Pompton. Rockaway and Wippany 
Ks. The Raritan R. rises in the W. part of the 
state and empties into Raritan B., after receiv- 
ing the Millstone, Green Brook antl South Rs. 
The Delaware R. forms the W. boundary of N. 
J., and drains 2,100 sq. mis. of its area. Its tribu- 
taries are Paulln's Kill (which drains the S. part 
of the Kittatinny Valley), the Pequest, Pohat- 
cong anil Musconetcong; Rs., which flow through 
the smaller valleys ot the Highland Kange ; 
Cooper's, Mantua, Oldman's, Salem and Allo- 
waj- Crs.i which traverse the lower part of the 
state. The valle5' of the Delaware, from Carpen- 
ter's Point to the Water Gap, runs nearly par- 
allel to the Blue Mts. The Water Gap, where 
the river bursts through these mountains, is 
famous for the grandeur of its scenerj'. 

There are manj' beautiful sheets of water in 
the M. W. part of the state. Lake Hopatcong, or 
Brooklyn Pond, 914 feet above tide water, lies 
on top of the Highlands, is o^^ mis. long and 
from j^ to 5^ of a mle. wide. The surroundings 
make it a delightful summer resort. It is 
dramed by the S. branch of the Raritan R. 
Greenwooil Pond, or Long Lake, is partly in N. 
Y. and partly in Passaic co. It is 8 mis. long and 
abounds m flsh. Green Pond is another beau- 
tiful sheet, very near the top of Green Pond 
Mt., at 1,044 feet of elevation. The sea-coast of 
N. J. is indented by many baj's. In addition to 
Delaware B. in the S., Newark B., Raritan B. 
and Sandy Hook B. in the N., there are consid- 
erable bodies of water lying in the tide marshes 
of the shore. They are joined by narrow pas- 
sages, and so comp'lete is this internal connec- 
tion, that vessels of light draft can sail from the 
mouth of Metedeconk R. to Cape May without 
going outside the beach. Beginning at the N. 
there are Barnegat B., Little Egg Harbor, Atase- 
eum B., Great Egg Harbor, Peck's B., Townsend 
Sound, Jarvis Sound and Cape Island Sound. 

Climate and Vegetation.— T\\q climate of N. J. 
is on the whole mild, being tempered by the 
ocean. The mean annual temperature varies 
from 50^^° in the N. W. part to 56° at Cape May. 
The amount of rain and snow which falls is from 
40 inches on the plains to more than 50 inches 
on the highlands. N. J., when flrst settled, Avas 
almost entirely covered with forests, except 
the marshes on the coast, and although the state 
is densely inhabited and Avell cultivated, large 
parts of it are still well timbered with pine, 
cedar, oak, hickory, walnut, chestnut, poplar, 
and other trees peculiar to the latitude. 

The Population of N. J. was, in 1790, 184,139 ; in 
1800,211,149; in 1810, 245,562; in 1820, 277,426; in

54,001 were born in Germany, 2,061 in Switzer- 
land, 686 in Austria, 3.128 in France, 26,606 in 
England, 5,708 in Scotland, and 86,784 in Ireland. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
296,036 persons, viz.: 63;128 in agriculture, 83,380 
in professional and personal services, 46,206 in. 
trade and transportation, and 103,322 in manu- 
factures, mining and mechanical industries. 

Minerals and Mining.— "S. J. has mucli mineral 
wealth. Magnetic and other iron ores are found 
in Burlington co., near Dover, and other parts 
of the state. Rich mines of zinc are worked 
near Franklin, Sussex co., and immense beds of 
marl underlie the southern parts and yield the 
most valuable manure. In Cumberland co. oc- 
cur beds of quartz sand, which supplj' largo 
glass factories with the necessary raw material. 

.^iifriciiZiure.— The 30,652 farms of N.J. included,

cessful operation, and had, in 1872, 34 male and 
194 female students. The Farnum Preparatory 
School, at Beverly, and the Model School, are 
connected with the Normal School. The Col- 
lege of New Jersey, at Princeton, is t he fore- 
most institution of learning in the state, and in 
its aims and purposes resembles Yale and Har- 
vard Colleges. In 1871 it had 18 instructors and 
380 students. Rutgers College, comprising an 
academic and a scientific school, is at New 
Brunswick. The Glenwood Collegiate Institute 
is at Matawan, and Seton Hall College at South

NEW MEXICO, one of the south-western 
territories; is bounded on the N. by Colo. Ter., 
ou the W. by Ariz. Ter., on the S". by Mexico 
and Tex., and on the E. by Tex. and Ind. Ter. 
It lies between 31° 20' and 37^^ N. lat., and J03° 
and 109° y W. long. Its area is 121,201 sq. mis. or 
77,.508,040 acres. 

Sur/ace.—H . Mex. Is a portion of the great 
table-laud which occupies the continent W. of 



NEW MEXICO.

NEW MEXICO. 



the Mississiijpi Valley, and the culminating 
ridge of wliich is formed by the Rocky Mts. A 
number of chains of this great mountain system 
traverse the territory from N. to S., and are 
grouped along the valley of the Rio Grande on 
the E. and on the W. The Rio Grande enters 
N. Mex. from Colo. Ter., and intersects the 
northern state line near the center, traversing 
here the southern portion of the San Luis Val- 
ley, the largest and most attractive of the great 
parks, which is bounded on the W. by the loftj' 
San Juan Mts., and on the E. by the Sierra 
Blanca. The San Luis Valley is about 7,500 feet 
above the sea, and the mountain barriers on 
either side rear their highest peaks far into the 
i-egions of perpetual snow. A few miles N. of 
Santa Fc the Sierra Blanca terminates in a few 
bold blutfs, and further S. the Rocky Mts., bor- 
dering the valley of the Rio Grande on the E., 
are represented by detached ranges, as the Man- 
zana Mts., Sierra Oscura or del Oso, Sierra Sole- 
dad ; and, lastly the Sierra de los Organos,which 
terminates on the Rio Grande near El Paso. 
The Sierra del Cataallo, the Era Cnristobal Mts. 
and other lower ranges rise on the banks of the 
Rio Grande and are separated from those named 
above by the dreaded "Jornada del Muerto," or 
Dead Journey, an arid sand plain In Socorro 
and Donii, Ana cos. 

Still another series of ranges, the Sierra Capi- 
tana. Sierra Sacramento and the Guadalupe 
Mts. intersect the wide region between the 
Sierra Soledad and the Pecos R. 

All that portion of the territory wliich lies 
W. of the Rio Grande Valley is occupied by lofty 
plateaus or messua, detached mountain chains, 
and iuterveuiiig aesert plains. 

The Sierra San Mateo passes through Santa 
Ana CO., and the Zuni Mts. through Valencia 
CO., joining the Sierra del Datil, which inter- 
sects Socorro CO. The most southern of the 
bigh and broken ranges VV. of the Rio Grande 
Is the Sierra Mimbres, which divides this stream 
Jrom the head waters of the Gila. 

mvers.—The Rio Grande is the largest river 
of the territory and intersects it from N. to S. 
Its tributaries are neither numei'ous nor large. 
The Rio Chama, which drains the south-western 
3lopes of the San Juan Mts , and the Rio Puerco, 
which receives the Rio San Jose, join the nxain 
stream from the W. The Pecos R., which empties 
into the Rio Grande in Tex., has its source in 
the mountains E. of Santa Ee, flows S. E. as far 
as Lincoln co., and then S. along the western 
borders of the Llano Estacado. The Canadian 
R. rises in the Sierra Blanca and intersects the 
north-eastern part of N. Mex. The Cimarron R., 
or Rad Fork of the Arkansas, rises among the 
Raton Mts., near the northern boundary of Col- 
fax CO. 

The W. part of the territory is drained by 
tributaries of the Colorado of the West. The 
Rio San Juan, rising in" the Sierra de la Plata 
of Colo. Ter., intej-sects Taos co. The Rio Colo- 
rado Chiquito or Elax R., which rises in Santa 
Ana CO., and the Gila R., which rises in the 
Sierra Luero, flows westward into Ariz. Ter. 
The Rio de los Mimbres rises in the Mimbres 
Mts., has a southerly course and empties into 
the Laguna de Guzman in Mexico. 

Climate and Vegetalion. — Tlie climate greatly 
varies in dilferent portions of the territory, ac- 
cording to latitude and elevation above the sea. 
In the northern mountainous portions- the win- 
ters are severe, and the mean annual tenipur- 
ature is less than 48°, while the valley of the 
Bio Grande enjoys mild winters and hot sum- 
mers and has, in its southern parts, a mean an- 
nual temperature of ()0° to G4°. Few parts of 
the United States have a more arid climate 
than X. Mex., t he rain fall varying from S inches 
in the Rio Grande Vallej' to '20 inches near the 
Tex. state line ; hence vegetation is by no 
means luxuriant. The bottom-lands ot the 
Streams support narrow belts of cottonwood. 



The uplands are either sandy plains and 
deserts, or support a growth of ''grama" or 
" mesquite " grass, which dries upon the stalk, 
yielding a nutritious hay. The characteristic 
plants of the desert portions of the territory 
are the mesquite bush and various species of 
cactus. 

Population. — The Spanish adventurer Alvarez 
Nuilez was the first to penetrate from the S. 
into the region now constituting N. Mex. in 
153(5. Three years later a second journej' was 
undertaken by Marco de Niza, and in 15t0 a 
third by Coroiiado. The latter crossed the Gila 
R., anil beyond the Rio Grande saw the first 
buffaloes. In 1.595 Juan de Oiiate took possession 
of the territory in the name of the King of 
Spain without, however, giving distinct boun- 
daries to the new acquisition. It remained a 
part of Mex. until ISliJ, when, on the outbreak 
of the war with the United States, General Kear- 
ney took possession of Santa Fe. In the treaty 
of "Guadalupe Hidalgo, which terminated the 
war, N. Mex. was ceded to the United States. 

The population consists chiefly of descendants 
of tlie early Mexican colonists and of the semi- 
civilized Pueblo Indians, who carry on farming 
and gardening, live in villages ("puel)los "), 
and are the bitter enemies of the roving tribes. 
In 1S50 N. Mex., which then included Ariz. Ter. 
and a part of Colo. Ter., had a population of 
61,517; in ISliO, 93,510; and in 1870 (after the or- 
ganization of the territory with its present 
limits), 91,874. Of these there were 90,393 white, 
172 colored, and 1,309 Indians out of tribal rela- 
tions. The Pueblo Indians numbered 19,429, and 
the nomadic tribes 5,080 (estimated). The for- 
eign-born population (5,G20) included 122 natives 
of British America, 120 of England, 543 of Ire- 
land, 582 of Germany and 3,903 of Mexico. 

Minerals and Milling.— '£he principal wealth 
of the territory consists in its mineral treasures. 
The Old and New Placer Districts in Santa Fe 
and Bernalillo cos. embrace an extent of more 
than 200 sq. mis. and possess many rich gold 
and silver lodes. Of equal extent is the Pinos 
Altos District, in Grant co. The Cimarron 
District (400 sq. mis. large), in Colfax co., is 
supplied with water by a canal 37 mis. long. 
Here is the famous Maxwell Lode, which has 
yielded as much as $15,000 worth of gold in one 
week. The Carson Lode, in the Manzana Mts., 
produces from $60 to $1,200 worth of gold to the 
ton of ore. In various parts of the territory 
other deposits of gold and silver have been dis- 
covered. Iron, copper and bituminous coal are 
also abundant. 

Agriculture.— T'hQ arid climate renders farm- 
ing in N. Mex. impossible, except with the aid 
of irrigation. The valley of the Rio Grande 
contains nearly all the cultivated lands; but 
there are doubtless many other extensive dis- 
tricts which may be opened to the farmer by 
the construction of irrigating canals. The 
farms contained, in 1870, 143,007 acres of im- 
proved land, 106,283 acres of woodland and 584,- 
259 acres of other unimproved land. The cash 
value of farms was $2,260,139, and the estimated 
value of all farm productions, including addi- 
tions to stock, etc., $1,905,060. The products 
were: Spring wheat, 338,930 bush.; winter wheat, 
13,892 bush.; Indian-corn, 640,823 bush.; oats, 67,- 
660 bush.; barley, 3,876 bush.; peas and beans, 
28,856 bush.; Irish pot's, 3,102 bush.; tobacco, 
8.587 lbs.: wool, 684,930 lbs.; butter, 12,912 lbs.; 
wine, 19,686 gallons ; and hay, 4,209 tons. 

The live stock had a value of $2,389,157, and 
comprised 5,033 horses, 6,141 mules and asses. 
16,417 milch cows, 19,774 working oxen, 21,343 
other cattle, 619,438 sheep, and 11,267 swine. 

Bailroad-t.—H. Mex. has no railroads ; but sev- 
eral companies have been incorporated, whose 
lines will intersect the territory and atlord the 
much needed connections and means of trans- 
portation. The Denver & Rio Grande R. R. will 
connect Denver, Colo., with El Paso, Mexico, and

extond along the valloy of the Rio Grande. Tho 
Southern Piieilic R. R. will pass through Dona 
A^v.^ and Grant cos. 

Wealth and Taxalion.— The assessed value of 
real estate in 1870 was $9,917,991, and of personal 
property, )i(7,8()6,023. The true or estimated value 
of both'kinds of property was $31,349,793. The 
state taxes amounted to $34,115, and of county 
taxes to $26,101. 

N. Mcx. has no public school system. The law 
passed by the legislature in 1\S55 for the estab- 
lishment of puldic schools, to be supported by 
taxing the real estate, was submitted to the 
people for ratification ; but was defeated with 
6,016 against 37 votes. There were 5 newspapers 
published in the territory in 1870. 

Ooveriwient.—N . Mex. was organized as a ter- 
Titory by act of Congress September 9, 1S50. The 
Governor, Secretary, Superintendent of Indian 
Affiiirs and Purveyor of Public Funds are ap- 
pointed by the President by and with advice 
and consent of the Senate. The Supreme Court 
consists of a Cliief Justice and two Associate 
Justices, appointed hj' the President for 4 years. 
This court liolds one terra annually at the seat 
of the territorial government. One of the.just- 
Ices holds a district court session in each of the 
three districts into which the territory has been 
divided. The Supremo and District Courts have 
chancery and common law jurisdiction. 

N. Mex. is divided into the following 14 coun- 
ties : Bernalillo, Colfax, Dona Ana, Grant, Lin- 
coln, Mora, Rio Ai-riba, San Miguel, Santa Ana, 
Santa Fc, Socorro, Taos and Valencia. Santa 
Fe is the capital.

NEW YORK, one of the middle states; is 
bounded on the E. by Vt., Mass. and Conn.,on the 
S. bv N. J. and Pa., and on the N. W. by Canada, 
from wliich it is sejiarated by Lake Erie, the 
Niagara R., Lake Ontario and tlie St. Lawrence 
R. It is triangular in shape. One angle rests 
upon the Atlantic, another on Lake Champlain, 
while a third reaches W. to the southern shore 
of Lake Erie. The eastern boundary, from 
Canada to Staten Island, is 311?^ mis. long, and 
its largest dimension from E. to W. is 412 mis. 
The state includes Long Island, which extends 
130 mis. into the Atlantic Ocean, and Staten 
Island, which separates the inner from the 
outer bay of New York. 

N. Y. "has an area of 47,000 sq. mis., or 
30,080,000 acres, and lies between 40° 29' 40" and 
450 0' 42" N. lat., and 71° 51' and 75° 47' 25" W. 
long. 

The Surface is greatly diversified and includes 
rolling plateaus, levelValleys atid lofty moun- 
tain chains belonging to the great Appalachian 
System. Two deep channels constitute the 
chief base lines of the state. Tlie one is a some- 
what rugged valley in which lie Lake Champ- 
lain, Lake George and the Hudson R., and this 
is intersected at right angles, about midway, 
by the second, the Valley of the Blohawk. 
These deeply grooved valleys of the Hudson 
and the ]Moha\vlc give to N. Y. the stxbstantial 
advantage that it is the only state bordering 
on the Atlantic which could make a commuci- 
cation between the sea-board and the great 
lakes and valleys of the interior of the conti- 
nent without having to evercome one or more 
mountain ridges ; and to them it largely owes 
its commanding position in tlie Union as tlie 
" Empire State." 

The narrow belt of country lying E. of the 
Hudson River Valley is intersected hy the spurs 
of the Green and Hoosac Mts., one of which 
passes thi'ough Dutchess and Putnam cos. and 
terminates with bold precipices on the banks 
of the great stream opposite West Point. 

That portion of the state which lies W. of the 
Hudson R. consists chiefiy of rolling table-lands, 
gently sloping down toward the valley of the 
Mohawk R. anrl Lake Ontario in the N.,and to- 
ward Lake Erie in the W. It is traversed by the 
prolongations of the ranges of N. J., as the 
Shawanyunk Mts., the Blue Ridge and the com-' 
plex chains of the " Highlands," which occupy 
Orange co. and abut on the Hudson at West 
Point. Here, where the National Military Aca- 
demy lies, amidst natural features of unrivaled 
grandeur and beauty, is the roclty gateway 
through which the Hudson R. passes on to the 
sea, and which is commanded by the bold 
heights of Crows' Nest, Storm King, Beacon 
Hill, Bull Hill, Old Beacon and others, elevated 
above the sea from 1,000 to 2,000 feet. North of 
these ranges and of Rondout Cr. the surface 
rises in Greene and Schoharie cos. to the loftv

Catskill Mis., which sweep in a wide curve 
from the valli^y of the Hudson K. to the valley of 
the Mohawk II., and attain in Round Top, High 
Pk., Overlook Mt., Rockland Mt. and others, an 
elevation of 4,000 feet and more. The lower 
range of the Helderberg Mts. trends ])arallel to 
the Catskills through Albany eo. N. of the 
valley of the JNIoliawk R. and W. of Lake Cham- 
plain are the Adirondack Mts., consisting of 
several chains, wliieh trend N. E. and S. W. and 
culminate in Mt. Marcy. (See Adirondack Mts.) 

Rivers and Lakes. — The principal stream of 
the state is the Hudson R., which rises in the 
Adirondack Mts. and has a southerly course of 
800 mis. in length, KiO mis. of which are naviga- 
ble for the largest vessels. (See Hudson R.) 
The St. LaAvrenee R., which washes a part of 
the N. W. bonndaiy, receives the following tri- 
butaries from the state : the Oswegatchie R., 
with Indian R., Beaver R., whicli drains Cran- 
berry Lake ; Grass R., Racket R., rising in 
Racket Lake ; St. Regis R. and Salmon R. Lake 
Champlain receives Saranac R., Au Sable R. 
and Roquet R. All these streams rise in the 
Adirondack Mts. and drain the beautiful lakes 
in which these abound. 

Into Lake Ontario empty Blaclc R. witli its 
affluents, Moore R., Independence Cr. and Bea- 
ver R., the Oswego R., which is formed by the 
confluence of the Oneida and Seneca Rs., and is 
tlie outlet of Oneida, Onondaga, Skeneateles, 
Owasco, Cayuga, Seneca, Crooked and Canan- 
daigua Lakes, and the Genesee R., which rises 
in Pa., intersects N. Y. from S. to X. and drains 
Conesus, Hemlock and Honeoye Lakes. 

The Niagara R. receives Tohawanda Cr., and 
Lake Erie receives Cattaraugus Cr. and other 
small affluents. The S. VV. part of the state is 
drained by the Alleghany R. and its tributaiy, 
Conewango Cr., which receives the outlet of 
Chautauqua Lake. The Susquehanna R. rises 
in Otsego Lake and drains the south central 
part of X. Y., receiving here the outlet of Schuy- 
ler Lake, the Unadilla R., Chenango R., Tiough- 
nioga R. and the Tioga R., with the Conhocton 
and Canisto Rs. The East and West Branches 
of the Delaware R., which separates X. Y. from 
Pa., intersect and drain Delaware co. 

ClinuUe and Vegetation. — The climate of X. Y., 
though marked by great extremes, is on the 
whole moderate and salubrious. The Adiron- 
dack region, with its long and severe winters, 
is the coldest part of the state, and has a mean 
amiual temperature of less than 40 degrees. 
The mean annual temperature in the centi'al 
portions is from 44° to 48°, .and in tlie extreme 
southern, r)0°. The rain-fall varies from 3-2 in- 
ches in the St. Lawrence Valley to 44 inches in 
the lower IluiUon Valley. The interior parts 
of the state receive about 40 inches. 

N. Y. was formerly covered with forests, and 
these are still extensive, althougii the state is 
one of the most densely populated and best 
cultivated in the Union. The Adirondack Mts. 
are timbered with coniferous trees and poplars. 
In the other portions the most prevalent are 
deciduous trees, as the oak (in over 10 species), 
maple, hickory, chestnut, elm, lime, or linden, 
beach, sycamore and cedar. 

Population — X. Y. is the nineteenth state in the 
Union as regards territorial extent ; but the 
first as regards population. This was, in ISTO, 
4,382.759, including 4,330,'210 whites, 52,081 colored 
persons, 4:511 Indians and 29 Chinese. The natives 
of the United States numbered 3,214, tOU, includ-

Holland, 3,501 of Italy, 4,0i)l of Poland, 1,473 of 
Russia, 5,522 of Sweden, and 7.911 of SwitzerlancL 

The growth of tlie state has been extraor- 
dinary. In 1790 the iiopulation was .340,120 ; in 
1800, .589,051 ; in 1810, 959,049 ; in 18*), 1,372,111 ; in 
1830, 1,918,(308; in 1840, 2,428,921; in 1850, 3,097,394; 
and in 1860, 3,880,735. 

The population of 10 years of age and raoio 
numbered 3,378,959, of w'hom 1,491,018 were en- 
gaged in all classes of occupations, viz.: 374,328 
in agriculture, 405,339 in professional and per- 
sonal services, 234,581 in trade and transporta- 
tion, and 476,775 in manufactures and mechiinical 
and mining industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — The mineral treasures 
of X. Y. are great, although they neither 
include coal nor the precious metals. Iron ores 
are especially abundant. Specular iron and 
hematite occur in Columbia and Dutchess cos., 
and magnetic iron in Putnam, Orange and 
Westchester cos. The Adirondack region is also 
very rich in iron deposits. Lead occurs in. 
Ulster, St. Lawrence and the cos. E. of the Hud- 
son R. The central and some of the western 
cos. yield large quantities of gypsum, which is 
extensively used as manure and also exported. 
Quarries of a superior marble are worked near 
Sing Sing, and other building materials, as 
sandstone, limestone and granite are found 
abundantly in various sections of the state. 
The salt spi-ings in Onondaga, Orleans, Erie & 
Genesee cos. yield over 12,000,000 bush, annually 
of pure siilt and support a prosperous industry. 
Xew York is rich in medicinal springs, the most 
famous of which are those of Saratoga, Balston, 
New Lebanon, Avon and Sharon. Petroleum 
is obtained in Allegany co. 

Agriculture. — The soil of the state greatlj- va- 
ries in fertility in the different portions. The 
valleys of the Hudson and Mohawk Rs., and the 
so called "Genesee Flats" on the lower Genesee, 
are exceedingly productive, include the richest 
portions of New Vork, and produce flue ci'ops 
of grain and fruits. The hilly districts and 
table-lands are best adapted tostock raising and 
dairying, while the great Adirondack region 
present.s conditions of soil and climate which 
render it almost unfit for any branch of agri- 
culture, and hence it is known as the " Wilder- 
ness." But with all these diversities New 
York may be called a fertile state ; and as its 
farmers are energetic and intelligent, paj'ing 
great attention to scientific agriculture, its pro- 
ductions take a high rank as regards quantity 
as well as quality. 

In 1870 the 216,"2.53 farms comprised 22,190,810 
acres, or nearly 74 per cent, of the total area of 
the state. The number of acres of improved 
land was 15,627,206; of woodland. 5,679,870, and 
of other unimproved land, 88;3,73-i. The farms 
had a cash value of Sfl,272,857,706; of farming im- 
plements .and machinery, $45,997,712. The total 
value of farm productions, including atlditions 
to stock and implements, was $253,52(5,1.53 ; of 
orchard products, $8,347,417, and of market gar- 
dens, $;5,432,354. The products were : Spring 
wheat, 1,834,330 bush.; winter wheat, 10,344,132 
bush.; r.ye, 2,478,125 bush.; Indian-corn, 1(>,4()2,825

gals.; hay, 5,614,205 tons.; hops, 17,558,681 lbs., and 
flax, 3,670,818 lbs. 

Tlie live stock had a value of $175,882,712, and 
comprised 536,861 horses ; 4,407 mules and asses ; 
1,350,661 milch cows ; 64,141 working oxen ; 630,522 
other cattle; 2,181,578 sheep, and 518,251 swine. 

Manu/aclures.—in 1860 X. Y. had 22,621 manu- 
facturing establishments, and in 1870, 36,20tK a 
number which is exceeded onlv by that of Pa. 
The 4,664 steam-engines had 126,107 horse-power^ 
and the 9,011 water-wheels, 208,250 horae-power.

NEW YORK. 



published in tlie state, in 1872, was S94 (nearly 
one-seventh of the nnmbei- published in the 
United States), including 89 dailies, 3tri-M^eek- 
lies, 18 semi-weeklies, 568 weeklies, 25 semi- 
montlilies, 167 monthlies, 2 bi-monthlies and 20 
quarterlies. There were pul:)lished 3(5 in the 
German, 3 in the French, 1 in the Swedish, 5 in 
the Spanish, 3 in the Italian and 1 in the Portu- 
guese languages. The total circulation of the 
periodical publications was 7,501,497. 

Charitable and Penal IiislUu/ions. — N. Y. has 3 
institutions for the deaf and dumb (two at New 
York city and one, St. Mary's Asylum, at Buf- 
falo), in which there were under instruction GOG 
pupils. Institutions for the blind are in New 
York city and Buffalo. 

There were confined, on Jan. 1, 1871, 4,484 per- 
sons in the State Lunatic Asylums, which were 
the following : The State Lunatic Asylum, at 
Utica; the Willard Institute, at Ovid; tlie New 
York Lunatic Asjdum, at New York City ; the 
King's County Asylum, at Flatbush ; the Mon- 
roe County Asylum, at Rochester ; the Marshall 
Institute, "at Troy, and the Providence Asylum, 
at Buffalo. Other similar institutions were the 
Blooniingdale Asylum, at New York city, the 
Asylum on Blaekwell's Island and New York 
Asylum for Idiots, at Syracuse. The 124 orphan 
asylums received from the state treasury 
$313,253, and the 84 hospitals and dispensaries, 
$343,676. 

The three State Penitentiaries, at.Sing Sing, 
Auburn and Clinton, are but partially self-sup- 
porting. In 1871, the state contributed $470,307 
toward their maintenance. The House of Ref- 
uge and tlie Juvenile Asylum, on Randall's Is- 
land, the Western House' of Refuge, at Roches- 
ter, and the Catholic Protectory at West Farms, 
are correctional institutions for youthful 
delinquents. 

Oovernment. — Hendrick Hudson, an English 
navigator, in the service of the Dutch Fast In- 
dia Company, was the tirst European who (in 
1609) entered the Bay of New York and explor- 
ed the river now bearing his name. Four years 
later the Dutch established trading posts on 
Manhattan Island and below Albany. In 1614 
the colony i-eceived the name of '■ New Nether- 
lands," but, in 1664, the Duke of York appeared 
with a squadron before New Amsterdam and 
demanded its surrender. Governor Stuyvesant 
had to jneld, and the colony received the name 
of New' York. The Dutch retook it in 1673 ; but 
in the following year it was finally ceded to the 
English by the treaty of Westminster. 

N. Y. is one of the original 13 states of the 
(Jnion ; framed a constitution in 1777, and rati- 
fied the United States constitution July 26, 1788. 
The state constitution has been amended sev- 
eral times. The constitution framed by the 
convention in session from June to October, 
1846, was ratified at the general election in No- 
vember following. In 186() the measure of hold- 
ing a convention was approved by the people ; 
and in June, 1867, the convention met, and ter- 
minated its labors in February, 1868. 

The new constitution was siil)mitted to the 
people, but only theaniemUHl .Judiciary Article 
was adopted. With this exception, the consti- 
tution of 1846 is .still in force. 

Every male citizen of the age of 21 yeai'9, who 
Shall have been a citizen for 10 days, and an in- 
habitant of the state one year next preceding 
ftiiy eUiCtion, and for the last 4 months a resi- 
dent of the county where he may offer his vote, 
shall be entitled to vote. But colored citizens 
are required to possess a freehold estate of $250 
in value over and above all debts and encum- 
brances. 

The legislative power is vested in a Senate 
and Assembly. The Senate consists of Ai mem- 
bers and the Senators are chosen for 2 years. 
The Assembly consists of 128 members, who are 
elected annually. 

The executive power is vested in a Governor, 



who must be 30 years of age and must have been 
a resident of the state for 5 years next preced- 
ing an election. The Governor is elected for 
two years at the times and places of (;hoosing 
members of the Assembly. The Lieutenant- 
Governor is chosen for 2 years and is president 
of the Senate, but only has a casting vote 
therein. 

The Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treas- 
urer, Attorney-General and State Engineer and 
Surveyor are chosen at a general election for 
2 years. 

Three Canal Commissioners and thi-ee In- 
spectors of State Prisons are chosen for thrcp, 
years. 

The Assembly has the power of impeachmoit . 
The court for the trial of impeachments is 
composed of the president of the Senate, the 
senators, or the major part of them, ami the 
judges of the Court of Appeals, or the major 
part of them. 

The Court of Appeals is composed of a Chief 
Judge and six Associated Justices, who arc 
chosen by the electors for a term of 14 years. 
The state is divided into eight districts, each of 
which has a Supreme Court. 

The Supreme Court has general jurisdiction 
in law and equity, subject to the appellate juris- 
diction of the Court of Appeals. Five of the 
justices reside in the district which is the city 
of New Y''ork ; and four in each of the other 
districts. The state is divided into eight dis- 
tricts. The justices of the Supreme Court are 
elected for 14 years. Every county has its 
County Court, Surrogate Court and several 
Justices of the Peace. 

N. X. is divided into the following 60 counties : 
Albany, Allegany, Broome, Cattaraugus, Cayu- 
ga, Chautauqua, Chemung, Chenango, Clinton,

mis. Hai'lem E. and Spuyten Duyvil Cr. sepa- 
rate it from the main land. The former joins 
the East R. opposite Wards' Island ; the lat- 
ter empties into the Hudson R. The southern 
part ot New York forms a triangle, which ter- 
minates in the S. W. with the Battery, at the 
junction of the Hudson and East Rs. Xew 
York B. extends from the Battery to the Nar- 
rows between Long Island and Staten Island, 
is from 50 to 60 feet deep and from 1 to oV^mls. 
•wide. Randall's, Wards' and Blackwell's is- 
lands in the East R., and BeiUoe's, Ellis' and 
Governor's islands in the baj', belong to the 
city. On the three last named are the United 
Statesforts— Wood, Ellis, Castle William and 
Colunibus. The strait known as the " Nar- 
rows," 11 mis. S. of the Battery, connects New 
York B.. or the " Upper B.,'' with the " Lower 
B.," the entrance to which is between Sandy 
Hook and Uoney Island. The Narrows are 
defended by Forts Lafayette and Hamilton on 
Long Island and Tompkins and Richmond on 
Staten Island. 

The city is compactly built for 5 to 6 mis. 
above tlie Battery, and beyond is occupied by 
handsome villas and the imposing structures 
of several charitable institutions. Below 
Fourteenth Street it is somewhat irregularly 
laid out ; but above this line straight parallel 
streets extend from river to river, and are 
intersected at right angles by IfJ wide avenues 
I'unning N. and S. 

The Battery is a park IQi^ acres large, with 
lawns and flue shade trees, and is situated at 
the southern extremity of the island. The 
water front is secured by a sea-wall, and from 
the broad promenade above admirable views 
are had of the bay with its shipping, steam, 
boats and ferries. The round structure on 
the Battery known as "Castle Garden" was 
built in 1807 for a fort, but became afterward 
an opera and concert house, and is now used 
as a depot for immigrants, who are here re- 
ceived from their ships. White Hall Street 
extends from the Barge oflice, on the E. of 
the Battery, northward to Bowling Green, a 
small park of considerable historical interest, 
and from this runs the grand avenue, the 
famous "Broadway," due N. to Tenth Street, 
and thence N. N. W. to Central Park. It is 
the principal business street of the city, 
and with its magnificent stores and business 
houses, its palatial hotels and banking houses, 
its throngs of omnibuses and handsome equi- 
liages, its leisurely " flaneurs" and eager busi- 
ness crowds, presents a more animated and 
brilliant picture than any other thoroughfare 
in the world. A short distance above Bowl- 
ing Green is Trinity Church, a noble Gothic 
brown-stone building, with a spire 284 feet 
high, and standing in the venerable grave- 
yard in which are buried many men of his- 
toric fame. 

Wall Street, running E. from Trinity Church, 
is the financial center of the eountrj', the re- 
sort of the bankers and brokers. Here is the 
stately United States Sub-treasury, on the 
site f)f the hall where Washington was inau- 
gurated first President of the United States 
in 1789. Further down the street is the United 
States Custom House, a massive marble and 
granite structure, which was originally built 
for a merchants' exchange. Broad Street 
leads otf from Wall Street (opposite the Trea- 
sury) and contains the beautiful buildings of 
the Stock Exchange and Gold Exchange. 

Returning to and going up Broadway, we 
pass the colossal pile of the Equitable Life In- 
surance Company, crowned by a clock tower 
and a weather telegraph ; the 'marble palace 
of the "New York Herald," and the "Park 
Bank," built in the Florentine Renaissance 
style. On the W. side is the " Astor House," 
the oldest of the grand hotels in the country, 
and still holding its rank as one of the best. 



Park Row here stretclies off from Broad- 
way obliquely to theN. E. It is lined with the 
buildings of the great daily papers, the " Tri- 
bune," " Times,""" Staats Zeitung" (German), 
"World," "Sun," and otliers of less renown, 
while in the vicinity are those of the fore- 
most weeklies of the country, the " Nation," 
the " Independent," the " Christian Union," 
etc. 

The triangular space between Broadway 
and Park Row forms the " City Hall Park," 
at the southern end of which stands the new 
United States Post-ofHce, one of the most sub- 
stantial and magnificent structures in the 
country. It is built of granite in the Renais- 
sance style, fire-proof ttiroughout, and has a 
frontage on Broadway of 340 feet. The City 
Hall is a white marble building, 21S feet long 
and 105 feet wide, ornamented with pUasters 
and crowned by a clock tower. Near it, and 
at the northern front of the Park on Cham- 
bers Street, stands the new Court House, '2.50 
feet long and built of white marble, a truly 
palatial edifice, with a highly ornamented 
Corinthian vestibule. Opposite the Court 
House is the great marble building devoted 
to A. T. Stewart's wholesale business. Pass- 
ing up Broadwaj'^ we find it lined on either 
side with immense and costly structures, the 
most prominent of which only can be men- 
tioned here, as the New York Life Insurance 
Company, with its Ionic portico ; the vast St. 
Nicholas" Hotel, of white marble ; the Metropo- 
litan Hotel, of brownstone ; the lofty Grand 
Central, with eight stories and louvre domes ; 
the great retail houses, with their brilliant 
show windows ; the theaters, museums and 
other i^leasure resorts. The entire block be- 
tween Broadway, Ninth and Tenth Streets 
and Fourth Avenue, is occupied by the colos- 
sal iron building of A. T. Stewart's retail store, 
and on the opposite corner stands the Epis- 
copal "Grace Church," the house of worship 
for one of the most fashionable congregations 
of tlie city. Further N. is Fourteenth Street, 
running from river to river, with the Acade- 
mv of Music, Steinway's Music Hall, the Ger- 
miinia Theatre, and other places of amuse- 
ment, and bounding Union Square, which is 
surrounded by hotels, and fine stores, as Tiffa- 
ny's great jewelry establishment. One block 
E. of Union Square is the Westminster Hotel, 
one of the finest and most aristocratic in the 
city. Following Broadway to Twenty-third 
Street, Madison Square is reached, with the 
famous Fifth Avenue Hotel, the Albemarle 
Hotel, the Hoffman House, and on the oppo- 
site side tlie highly ornate Union League Club. 
On the \V. side of Madison Square, Broadway 
is intersected by Fifth Avenue, containing 
more costly and palatial mansions than any 
other street in the world, foremost among 
which is the great marble dwelling of A. T. 
Stewart, a palace princely in extent and mag- 
nificence. 

The Bowery, E. of Broadway and nearly 
parallel, connects with Fourth Avenue in the 
N. and through Chatham Street with Park 
Row in the S., and contains many large Init 
less pretentious retail stores, banks, hotelsi, 
saloons and places of amusement. The block 
between Seventh and EighthStreets and Third 
and Fourth Avenues is occupied bj' the Coop- 
er Institute, founded and liberally endowed 
by the great philanthropist Peter Cooper. It 
contains a library, a free reading-room, with 
the leading periodicals of the world, and 
rooms in which courses of lectures and spe- 
cial studies are given. Close by are the Mer- 
cantile Library (150,000 volumes), in the old As- 
tor Place Opera House ; the Astor Library, 
in a large Romanesque building, in Lafayette 
Place (150,000 volumes) ; the "Bible House," the 
property of the American Bible Society,which 
issues vast numbers of Bibles (9,000,000 since

New York "Historical Society, etc. Hifjher up 
the avenue is the National Academy of Design, 
built of gray and white maible in the Italian 
Gothic style (Venetian), and containing halls 
in which exhibitions of paintings and stat- 
uary are held. Near it is the large structure 
of the Young Men's Christian Association. 
On Fourth Avenue and Fortj'-Second Street 
Islhe Grand Central Depot, the converging 
point of the New York, New Haven & Hart- 
ford R. R., the New Y'orlc Central & Hudson 
River B. R. and the Harlem R. R. It covers 
three acres, is 700 feet long and has a stately 
front with three lofty louvre domes. Two 
squares W. of it is the Distributing Rcsei-voir 
Of the Croton Aqueduct, 44 feet high, 420 feet 
sfiuare, with an area of four acres and a 
capacity of 23,000,000 gallons. 

The Central Park is between Fifth and 
Eighth Avmuies and P'ift-y-ninth andOne-Hun- 
dred-and-Twelfth Streets. It Is ]A n\le. wide 
and 214 mis. long, and includes a rectangular 
area of .S(J3 acres, of wliich 183 acres are covered 
with reservoirs of Croton water. The carriage 
roads have a total length of 15 mis., the bridle 
paths of 8 mis. and the walks of 25 mis. The 
design of Fred. L. Olmsted has, in the main, 
been carried out, and the park is now to be 
classed among the most beautiful in tlie world. 

New York has over 350 churches, many of 
which are very fine and sumptuous buildings. 
The Cathedral of St. Paul (Roman Catholic), 
in gotliic stj'le, was commenced in 1858, and 
will be the grandest church edifice in the 
country. It occupies the highest point on 
Fifth Avenue, and tlie front will be flanked 
by two towers 328 feet high. St. George's 
Church (Episcopal), an elegant Romanesque 
building, on Stuyvesant Square, has a beauti- 
ful front with twin towers 245 feet high. The 
Church of All Saints (Methodist), in Byzan- 
tine architecture, has a fine cupola and is 
built of alternate layers of brick and white 
inarl)le. On the corner of Fifth Avenue and 
Forty-Third Streets is the Jewish Temple 
Emmanuel, the chief of the 27 synagogues of 
the city. It has a most supi'rbh- decorated in- 
terior, designed after the Moorish palace, Al- 
hambra, in Spailn. 

New York is supplied with water by the 
Croton Aqueduct, which brings the water 
from Croton R. (over 40 mis. distant) to the 
reservoirs in Central Park and on Fifth 
Avenue. Th« original cost of this great work 
was $9,000,000.

while other linos atford access to all the im- 
l^ortant points of Long Island, Staten Island, 
and on the New Jersey coast. 

Over 30 lines of ocean steamei-s maintained, 
in 1872, regular communication between New 
York and the transatlantic ports of America 
aud Europe, viz. : (i English lines (Cunard, In- 



man, Guyon, National, Anchor, and White 
Star) ; 3 Cierman (the North German Lloyd, 
the Hamburgh American Co. and the Stettin 
Lloyd) ; 1 French (the " Havre Line "), etc. 

Populalion. — The first settlement on Man- 
hattan Island was made by Hendrick Chris- 
tiansun in 1(513. At the clos'e of the following 
year the future metropolis consisted of a 
small fort on the site of the present Bowling 
Green, and four houses, and was known as 
New Amsterdam. In 16(54 it was surrendered 
to the British, and passing into the hands of 
the Duke of Y'ork, received its present name. 
In 1(577 it contained 384 houses, and in 1700 the 
population had increased to about (5,000; in 
1731 to 8,1)28, in 175(5 to 10,381, in 1700 to 33,131, iiv

New York, measured by the value of pro- 
ducts, is the first manufacturing city in the 
Union, but measured by the number of estab- 
lishments, hands employed, capital invested 
and materials consumed, is second to Phila- 
delphia. It had, in 1870, 7,624 establishments, 
which employed 129,577 hands (including 91,- 
.305 males, 32,231 females and 5,991 youths), and

Commerce and Shipping. — No city In the 
(vorld enjoys greater natural facilities for 
commerce, domestic as well as foreign, than 
New York. Tlie harbor is deep, capacioiis and 
of easy access ; tlie Hudson li., in connection 
v/ith the Erie Canal, affords water communi- 
cation with the great lakes, and the railroads, 
terminating at or near the city, extend to all 
parts of the Union.

D'vision of the Erie R. R., at the Falls of 
Niagara, 20 mis. N. of Buffalo. Its impor- 
tftnce is due to the wonderful natural attrac- 
tions of the spot and vicinage, chief among 
v*liioli are t lie Falls of tlie river, 157 feet in 
perpendicular height, with a total width of 
2,i?00 feet, and an estimated depth of "20 feet of 
water on the verge. They are 20 mis. below 
the exit of the R. from Lake Erie and 14 above 
its entrance into Lake Ontario. The rapids 
extend back 5^ of a nile. from the crest, and 
have a fall of 51 feet in that distance. Goat 
Island, \'i of a mle. wide and ^ a mle. long, 
ejctenils to the brow of the precipice and 
divides the tails into two portions, that on 
the American side (the American Falls) being 
161 feet high and 900 feet wide, while that on the 
Canadian side (the Horseshoe Falls, from their 
curvilinear shape,) is 150 feet high and 1,900 
feet across. The American Falls are again 
divideil unequallj'^ near the precipice hy Iris Is- 
land, leaving the greater quantity of water 
next the New York shore. The Falls are sur- 
rounded by objects of interest and surprise, 
as the many picturesque islands above, the 
weird chasins and caves beneath, the deep 
canon and mighty whirlpool below, and the 
fibrous bridges that span the writhing waters 
at giildy herghts. The village contains sev- 
eral fine hotels and has a resident population 
of 3,00(i, and one newspaper. 

STiag'ara River connects the E. end of Lake 
Erie with Lake Ontario, and separates the 
State of New York from the Canadian Pro- 
vince of Ontario. Its course is short (3t mis.), 
but it carries an immense amount of water, 
and as Lake Ontario is 331 feet lovver than Lake 
Erie, it forms the world renowned Niagara 
Falls. (See precedingarticle.) Oftheislands

NOBTH CAROLINA, one of the 13 original 
states ; lies between 33'=' .53' and 36° 33' N. lat., 
and 7.0° 25' and 84° 30' W. long. It is bounded 
on the K. by Va., on the ^Y. by Tenn., on the S. 
bj^ S. C. ami Ga., and on the E. by the Atlantic 
Ocean. The greatest width from N. to S. is 180 
mis.; the greatest length from E. to W. 480 mis., 
and the area 00,704 »(.i. mis. or 3-2.450,500 acres. 

Surface. — N. C. may be divided into four dis- 
tinct natural sections or belts, viz.: the Tide 
Water Country, the Middle Conntrv, the Pied- 
mont District, and the Blue liidge Country. Tlie 
Tide ^Vater Country extends from the coast 
inland for from 60 to 80 mis., is low and level, 
and includes large areas of swamps, of which 
the Little Dismal Swamp (occupying tlie penin- 
sula between xVlbomarle and Pamlico Sounds), 
the southern part of the Dismal Swamp (pro- 
jectiiig into the state from Va.), the Holly Shel- 
ter Swamp, and Green Swamp, are the largest. 
The aggregate area of the swamps is estimated 
at 3,000,000 acres, and as tliey and their borders 
produce fine pine, oak and cypress timber, they 
possess unusual economic value. Albemarle 
and Pamlico Sounds are separated from the 
Ocean by a line of low sandy islands, extending 
from the Virginia state line in a southerly di- 
rection to Cape Hatteras, and thence in a south- 
westerly direction to Cape Lookout. 

The Middle Countrj', which occupies the 
largest part of the state, is separated from the 
Tide Water Country by a line of rocky blutfs, 
from 100 to '200 feet above the latter, and eon- 
eists of a gently undulating plain, rarely rising 
into hilly eminences. 

The Piedmont District extends along the base 
of the Blue Ridge, and is from 20 to 30 mis. 
wide. It has a broken surface, rises from 1,000 
to 2,000 feet above the sea-level, and is traversed 
by low ranges of mountains and hills, some of 
Which are connected with the Blue Ridge. 

1 he western part of the state forms the Blue 
Kidge Country, and is occupied by two lofty 
mountain ranges, with intermediate ridgesand 
valleys belonging to the great Appalachian 
System. The Blue Ridge intersects the state in 
a general N . E. and S. W. direction, and nearly 



parallel with it trends the great Unaka Chain 
separating the state from Tenn., and bearing 
the local names of Stone Mts., Iron Mts.. Bald 
Mts., Great Smoky Mts., and Unaka Mts. A 
number of high transverse ranges branch olT 
from the Blue Ridge, and, trending mostly N. 
W., connect with the Unaka Chain, dividing tho 
belt of country between the two ranges into a 
series of basins, which are draineil by the 
sources and head waters of rivers joining the 
Tennessee and Ohio. In the S. W. corner of tho 
state is the basin of the Hiawassee R., hemT:ied 
in by the transverse ranges of the Stansbury 
Mts. in the S. W. and the Vallev River Mts. and 
Long Ridge in the N. E. Then follows the 
basin of the Little Tennessee, wliich extends 
from the Valley River Mts. to the Balsam Mts., 
and is subdivided by the Nantahela and Cowee 
Mts. into tho valleys of the upper course of tho 
Little Tennessee and its tributaries, the Nan- 
tahela and Tuckaseegee Rs. The next basin is 
that of the Big Pigeon R , which lies between 
the Balsam Mts. and the long chain of the Pisgali 
and the Newfound Mts., and to the E. of it 
extends the large basin of tho French Broad 
R., which is bounded on the S. and E. by the 
Blue Ridge, on the N. W. bv the Great Smoky 
antl Bald Mts., and on the W. by the Newfound 
and Pisgah Mts. The north-west branch ot tho 
Black Mts. and its continuation to the Bald 
Mts. separates the basin of the French Broad 
from the basin of the NoUechucky R., while the 
eastern branch of the Black Mts., crowned 
with tlie culminating peaks of the entire 
Appalachian System, projects into this basin 
from the S. The lofty transverse range of the 
Big Yellow Mts. extends from the Grandfather 
Mt. in the Blue Ridge to the Roan Mt. in the 
Iron Range, and separates the basins of the 
NoUechucky and the Watauga Rs. The last 
basin of the Blue Ridge Country is that of the 
New R. (the upper course of the Great Kana- 
wha), which extends far into Va. 

These basins have a mean elevation above the 
sea of from 2,000 feet to 2,700 feet. The Blue 
Ridge frequently changes its direction and is 
composed of many groups, some of which ex- 
ceed 5,000 feet in elevation, while in the long in- 
tervals of depression between these groups are 
found gaps whose height ranges from 2,200 feet 
to 3,700 feet, often but little above the interior 
basins. The great Unaka Chain is more con- 
tinuous than the Blue Ridge, more elevated and 
more regular in its direction, but it is bioken 
by deep rents, through which burst the tribu- 
taries of the Tennessee above named. Its height 
varies from 5,000 feet to 6,700 feet, and of equal 
height are the transverse ranges, which sepa- 
rate the basins. The fbllowing are the pi-lnci- 
pal peaks, with their elevation above the sea: 
In the Blue Ridge: Cresar's Head, Table Mt., 
4,000 feet ; Sugarloaf Mt.; Gray Beard, .■),453 feet ; 
Rocky Knobs, 5,311 fcit ; High Pinnacle, 5,701 
feet : Grandfather, 5,897 feet, and Grandmother, 
5,787 feet ; and in the Unaka Range : Great Smoky 
Mt.,6,(;60 feet; Bald Spot, 5,5.j0 feet; Roan Mt., 
6,306 feet, and White Top, 5.530 feet. 

Rivers.— T!\\(i Blue Ridge forms the water-shed 
between the streams joining the Tennessee and 
the streams emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. 
The Pasquotank, Chowan and Ro:inoke Rs. en- 
ter the state from Va. and einiity into Albe- 
marle Sound. The Tar and Neuse Rs. empty 
into Pamlico Sound. Cape Fear R., whose 
branches. Haw and Deep Rs., intersect the Mid- 
dle Country and join near Haywood, in Cliat- 
ham CO., empties througli a wide estuarj- oppo- 
site Smith's Island. The Yadkin rises in the 
JJlue Ridge, traverses the Middle Country and 
Hows into S. C. The Catawba and Broad ]<s.. 
two branches of the Santee R., belong, v,';lU 
their upper courses, to this state. 

Climate and VegotaUoii. — The climate of tLe 
south-eastern part of the state, emijracingmore 
than hall its area, is very warm anil has a mean

atinnal terapei-.ature of from 60 to 64 degrees. 
In the Pipflmotit District this temperature is 
52 degrees, and in the higher jjart of the Blue 
Kidge Country 4S degrees. 

The amount of rain which falls is from 42 to 
44 inches in the Tide Water Country and the 
■western parts of the state, and from 44 to 4S 
inches in tlie Middle Country. 

N. C. belongs to the great "forest region of the 
continent, but the vegetation differs considera- 
Oly In the different belts above described. The 
Tide Water Country, with its sandy soil, is cov- 
ered wH;h extensive forests of the southern 
pines (Pinus Australis and Pinus Palustries), 
wliich yield large quantities of turpentine, the 
great staple article of the state. The forests of 
the elevated portions of N. C. consist chiefly 
of the deciduous trees of the more northern 
parts of the Union, and the liighest crests of 
the mountain ranges are covered with the bal- 
sam tirs, northern pines and other coniferous 
trees. 

Popvlation. — Tlie population of N. C. was, in 
1790, 3i)S,751 ; in 1860, 478,103 ; in 1810, 555,500 ; in 
1S20, 6.38,829; in 1830, 737,987; in 1840, 753,419; in 
1850, 869,039; in 1860, 992,622, and in 1870, 1,071,361, 
of whom 678,470 were white, 391,650 colored and 
1,241 Indian. 

The great majority of the inhabitants were 
natives of the state, viz.: 1,028,678. The natives 
of other states of the Union numbered 39,654, 
and of foreign countries only 3,029. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
351,299, viz.: In agriculture, 269,238; in profes- 
sional and personal services, 51,290; in trade and 
transportation, 10,179, and in manufactures, me- 
chanical and mining industries, 20,592. 

Minerals and Mining. — The mineral resources 
of the state are considerable, but thus far have 
not been fully developed. GoUl occurs in num- 
erous localities of the Middle and Piedmont 
Countries, and has been mined for the last 30 
years with increasing success. The Gold Hill 
mines, in Uowan co., have yielded about .$2,000,- 
000 sir»ce they were lirst opened, 20 years ago. 
In 1803 a piece of gold weighing 28 lbs. was found 
in the Red Mine of Cabarrus co. Par more im- 
portant than the precious metals, however, are 
iron and coal, which abound in the valleys of 
the Deep and Dan Us. Coal measures, exceed- 
ing SO mis. in length, have been discovered in 
Chatham and Moore cos., and otiiers in Stokes 
and Rockingham COS. The coal is bituminous 
and of good quality. Graphite is found in 
Wake CO. Copper ore has been discovered in 
several localities, and is largely mined in Guil- 
ford CO. Steatite or soapstone abounds in the 
central counties. 

Agriculture.— "S. C. is on the whole a fertile 
state. With tlie exception of the swamps and 
sand barrens of the E., and the high and broken 
mountains of the \V., the soil is throughout 
productive* and along the river bottoms ex- 
ceedingly rich. 

The 93,.565 farms of N. C, in 1870, comprised a 
total area of 19,835,110 acres, of which 5,258,742 
were improved, 12,026,894 acres woodland, and 
the remainder unimproved. The cash value of 
farms was ^78,211,083; of farm implements, $4,- 
082.111. The total amount of wages paid during 
the year was $8,342,856, and the value of farm 
productions, including additions to stock, etc., 
$57.8-15,940. 

The principal products were spring wheat, 
405,238 bush.; winter wheat, 2,454,641 bush.; rye, 
352OO0 1msh.; Indian-corn, 18,454,215 bush.; oats, 
3,220,105 bush.; Irish pot's, 738,803 bush.; sweet 
pot's, 3,071,840 bush.; cotton, 144,9:55 bales; rice, 
2.059,281 lbs.; tobacco, 11,150,087 lbs.; wool, 799,- 
667 lbs.; butter, 4,297,834 lbs., and hay, 83,540 tons. 

The live stock of the state had a value of $21,- 
993,967, and comprised 102,763 horses, 50,684 mules 
and asses, 196,731 milch cows, 45,408 working 
oxen, 279,023 other cattle, 463,435 sheep and 1,075,- 
215 swine. 



Manu/aclures. — The niimber of manufactur- 
ing establishments in 1870 was 3,642 ; which used 
306 steam-engines of 6,941 horse-power, and 1,825 
water-wheels of 26,211 horse-power; and em- 
ploj-ed 13,622 hands, of whom 11,339 were males. 
The capital invested was $8,140,473, and the 
wages paid amounted to $2,195,711. The raw ma- 
terials consumed had a value of $12,824,693, and 
the products of $19,021,327. 

The principal products of industry and their 
values were : cotton goods, $1,280,035 ; tlour and 
meal, $7,583,133; sawed lumber, $2,000,24:5, and 
tar and turpentine, $2.3;38,:509. 

Commerce and Railroads. — N. C. has fonr cus- 
toms districts : Albemarle, Beaufort, Pamlico 
and Wilmington, the last of which is by far the 
most important. The number of merchant 
vessels belonging to the state and their tonnage 
is as follows : Sailing vessels, 228, of 4,149 tons : 
steam vessels, 25, of 2..501 tons, and 7 unriggecl 
vessels of 151 tons, making a total of 260 vessels 
of 6,801 tons. During the fiscal year ending 
June ;50, 1872, N. C. imported goods from foreign 
countries of $131,666 in value, and exported 
domestic goods to foreign countries of $2,424,654 
in value. 

The railroads of the state had, in 1841, a length 
of 87 mis.; in 1851, of 283 mis.; in 1861, of 9:57 mis., 
and in 1872, of 1,250 mis. The most important 
lines were : The Atlantic & North Carolina R. 
R., from Morehead City to Goldsborough (95 
mis.); the North Carolina R. R.,from Goldsbor- 
ough to Charlotte (223 mis.); the Raleigh & 
Augusta Air Line (41 mis.); the Raleigh & 
Gaston R. R. (97mls.); the Western North Caro-

of which 117 mis. were in" operation in 1872); the 
Wilmington. Charlotte & Rutherford R. R. (131 
mis.); the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta 
R. R. (ISO mis.), and the Wilmington & Weldon 
R. R. (181 mis). 

Wealth, Taxation, etc.— The total value of real 
and personal estate was assessed in 1870 at $130,- 
37S,222, while the estimated value amounted to 
$260,757,244. The total state debt January 1,

monthlies. The daily papers were publishetl in ] 
Charlotte, Kaloigh, New lierne and Wilmington. 

Government. — N. C. was settle<l by emigrants 
from Va., in KioO, at All)cniarle, and received a 
charter in May, lt)(>,3. It adopted a state consti- 
tution in December, 177G, and ratified the United 
States Constitution in November, 17^9. The

OHIO, one of the states of the Mississippi 
Valley; is bounded on the N. by Mich, and 
Lake Eric ; on the W. by Ind. on the S. and S, 
E. by the Ohio R., which separates it from Kv. 
and W. Va,, and on the E. by Pa. It extends 
from 38° 2,5' to 42° N. lat. (a distance of about 
210 mis.), and from 80° 28' to 84° 42' W. long, (a 
distance of about 220 mis.) The area is 39,964 sq. 
mis., or 25,576,960 acres. 

;SM?-/ace.— Ohio has no elevations that could be 
termed mountains, but it is far from being a 
level plain. With the exception of the north- 
western part, it is a table-land, having a mean 
elevation above the sea of 1,000 feet, the inequal- 
ities of which are the result of the erosion or 
excavation of valleys and ravines by streams 
of water. A ridge or rather a swell of the 
ground forms the divide between the waters 
llowing N, into Lake Erie and those flowing S. 
into the Ohio R. Near the 40th parallel extends 
a belt of hills from E. to W. through the middle 
of the state, abounding in highly picturesque 
scenery. Toward the S. the valleys cut out by 
the streams grow deeper and deeper, until they 
reach the valley of tlie Ohio R., which is several 
hundred feet below the general level of the 
state. The siirface of that part of the state 
which lies N. of the water-shed is generally 
level, and has a gentle inclination toward the 
lake. 

Rivers. — The principal stream of the state is 
the Ohio, which sweeps along its southern 
boundary in a wide meandering curve. "Where 
it first touches tlie state it has a width of 360 
yards ; but increases to a width of 600 yards at 
Cincinnati. Its current is gentle, exceeding 3 
mis. per hour only during the stages of high, 
water. It drains with its tributaries the larger 
portion of the state. The following are the 
most important: the Mahoning R., which tra- 
verses Portage, Trumbull and Mahoning cos., 
and joins the Ohio in Pa.; the Muskingum, 
which is formed by the Walhonding and Tus- 
carawas Rs. and is navigable from its mouth at 
Marietta to Dresden ; the Scioto, which rises in 
Hardin co., flows S. E. to Columbus, where it is 
joined by the Olentangy, or Whetstone R., and 
enters the Ohio at Portsmouth ; the Little 
Miami R., and the Great Miami R., which rises 
in Hardin co., and flowing S. W. passes Troy, 
Dayton and Hamilton ; it is navigable for about 
75 liils. 

Lake Erie forms tliree-fourths of the north- 
ern boundary and drains the portion of the 
state lying Ni of a line drawn from the N. E. 
corner to the intersection of the 40th parallel 
with the western boundary. The chief rivers 
emptying into the Lake are the Maumee, San- 
dusky, Huron, Vermillion, Black, Rocky, Cuya- 
hoga, Chagrin, Grand, Ashtabula and Conneaut 
Rs. The llaumee enters the state from Ind. 
and flows through the N. W. part for about 80 
mis. It is navigable from Toledo to Perrysburg 
(18 mis.); but in high stages of water steamers 
ascend as far as Defiance, 60 mis. aljove Toledo. 

Climate mid Vegetation.— The climate of Ohio 
is mild and salubrious. The mean annual tem- 
perature is about ,50° in the northern tier of 
counties ; 51° in the central part of the state and 
54° in the most southerly parts, along the banks 
of the Ohio R. The changes of temperature, 
however, are often abrupt and sudden, a cli- 
matic peculiarity which Ohio shares with the 
other states between the Alleghany and the 
Rocky Mts. The rain and snow-fall varies from 
36 inches annually along the shore of Lake Erie 
to 42 inches in the middle districts, and to 48 
inches in the southern corner, including Brown, 
Clermont and Hamilton cos. 

Ohio was tormerl}^ covered with almost un- 
broken forest of deciduous trees, consisting of

oalc. walnut, hickory, inaplo, elm, asli, chest- 
nut ('• buck-eye"), pbplai-and other trees; but 
thi'V liav(! ijceii cleaied t>. a great extent, and in 
many parts of the state timber is scarce. 

Population.— llhG first permanent settlement 
in Ohio was made in 178S, at Ma.'ietta, by a com- 
pany from New Kngland. Tlie second settle- 
iiiL-nt was made in the same year at Columl)ia, 
near the mouth of the Little Miami R., and in 
tlie next year Cincinnati was founded. Tlie 
" Virginia Military Heservation " between the 
Scioto and Little Miami lis., was settled by 
revolutionary veterans and others from Va., 
and the ' Connecticut Keserve," in the N. K. 
part of vhe state, attracted many citizens from 
Connecticut, who made their homes alon^ the 
shore of Lake Erie. Before the close or 1798 
eiglit coui-Mes had been organized, and the 
white male inhabitants numbered over .5,000. 

In ISOO the population was 45,365; in 1810, 230,- 
760 ; in 1820, 581,'.",)5 ; in 1830, 937,903 ; in 1840, 1,519,- 
4J7; in 1850, 1,980,329 : in 18G0, '2,339,511, and in 1870, 
2,(;()5,'2iJ0, of whom 2,292,707 were natives of the 
United States, including 1,813,009 natives of the 
state, and 372.493 natives of foreign countries. 
Of tliese 12,725 were born in British America, 
3,091) in .Austria proper, 12,778 in France, 182,889 in 
Germany 30,561 in England, 82,674 in Ireland, 
7,819 in Scotland, 12,939 in Wales and 12,727 iu 
Switzerland. 

The jiopulation of 10 years of age and over 
was 1,953,374, of whom 840,889 were engaged in 
all classes of occupations, viz.: 397,024 iu agri- 
culture, 168,308 in professional and personal ser- 
vices, 78,547 in trade and transportation, and 
197,010 in manufactures, mechanical and mining 
inciustries. 

Minerals and Mining.— The mineral wealth of 
the state consists principally in the vast extent 
of its productive coal measures, being part of 
the great Appalachian coal-fleld ; and in the in- 
exhaustible deposits of excellent iron ores. 
Tuscarawas co. alone, it is estimated, possesses 
80,000 millions of bushels of the best bitumin- 
ous coal. The annual product of the state, 
since 1800, amounts to about 60,000,000 bush. 
The deposits of iron ores extend through an 
irea of about 12,000 sq. mis. in the southern 
part of the state, and are mined chiefly in tliic 
C50S. of Lawrence, Gallia, Jackson, Meigs, Vin- 
ton, Athens, Hocking, Perry and Licking. In 
1870 the production in these "counties amounted 
to 208,746 tons. Salt is also extensively mined, 
the annual product being about 2,000,000 bush. 
Petroleum is obtained in Washington, Athens, 
Morgan and Noble cos. The Cleveland refin- 
•iries turned out in 1870 a million of bai-rcls of 
2iure coal oil. In various parts of the state oc- 
cur deposits of excellent cement, building 
stones and grindstones, which were quarried in 
1870 to the amount of 125,000 tons. Burr or mill 
stones of a very superior quality are obtained 
in JacksOn and "Muskingum cos. 

AgricuUure. — Ohio possesses a productive soil 
throughout its whole extent. The area of un- 
cultivable land is veiy limited, while the river 
valleys, especially the bottoms of the Scioto 
and Miami, are unsurpassed in fertility by any 
portion of the Union. 

The north-eastern part of the state, known as 
the " Western lleserve," including 12 counties 
and extending for 120 miles along the coast of 
Lake Erie, is the great dairy region, and pro- 
duces large quantities of butter and cheese. 
Sheep-growing is the preuminent pursuit of the 
farmers in the S. E. part. The broad belt lying 
across the state from E. to W., to the N. ot the 
center, is the principal wheat district, while tlie 
central portion, to the S. and W. of Columbus, 
Is especially the regitn for beef cattle. The S. 
shore of Lake Erie is noted for fruil. Apples, 
peaclies and especially grapes are here cultivat- 
ed with great success"; the great body of water 
equalizing the temperature and preventing late 
frosts in spring and early frosts iu autumn. 



In 1S70 Ohio had 195,053 farms with a total area 
of 21,702.420 acres, of which 14,469,133 (or Sti'^ per 
cent, of the area of the state) were under cul- 
tivation ; 6,883,575 acres were woodland and tho 
remainder of 259,712 acres were uncultivated. 
The total value of farm? was $l,05t,465,226 ; of tho 
farm implements, $25,692,787, and of the produc- 
tions, including additions to stock, etc., 1^198,. 
2.56,907. The chief products were: Spring wheat, 
256,400 bush.; winter wlieat, 27,625,759 bush.; rye, 
816,890 bush.; Indian-corn, 67,501,144 bu.sli.; oats,

lbs.; wine, 212,912 gals.; hay, 2,289,565 tons. 

The live stock had a value of $120, 300 ,.528, and 
comprised 609,722 horses, 16,065 mules and asses, 
(ir)l,390 milch cows, 23,606 working oxen, 7.58,221 
other cattle, 4,928,635 sheep and 1,72S,9;;8 swine. 

Manufacture?.. — The manufacturing indus- 
try of Ohio has more than douljlcd during 
the last census decade. In I860 the imm I'-r of 
establishments was 11,123; the capital invest- 
ed, $57,295,303, and the value of products, $69,- 
800,270. In 1870 the establishments numbered 
22,773, using 4,586 steam-engines, of 129,577 horse- 
power, and 2,157 water-wheels, of 44,746 horse- 
power. There were employed 137.202 hands, 
and wages paid were ,$49,066,480. The capital 
invested was $141,923,964; the materials con- 
sumed had a value of $157,131,097, and the pro-

Commerce and Railroads.— Tho commerce of 
Ohio is facilitated by a very complete net of 
railroads, several canals and the navigable 
waters. In the year ended June 30, 1871, thei'e 
were imported iiito the four customs districts 
of the state (Cuyahoga or Cleveland, Sandusky, 
Toledo and Cincinnati), from foreign countries, 
goods to the value of $3,314,378, which yielded 
$209,737 duties. The direct exportation amount- 
ed to $1,743,843. The vess(!ls owned within the 
state numbered 1,148, of 164,266 tons burden. 

The mileage of railroads was, in 1872, 5,369 mis. 
against 4,598 in 1870; 2,598 in 1860; l,-240 in 18,50, 
and 754 in 1841. The following are the i)rinci]ial 
lines: The Atlantic <& Great Western U.K., 
from Salamanca, N. Y., to Dayton and thence 
to Cincinnati (447 nils.); the Central Ohio II. 11., 
from Brllaireto Columbus (137 nils.); the Cincin- 
nati & Indianapolis Junction II. li. (98 nils.); the

The canals were built at the expense of the 
state, and have a combined length of 736 mis. 
The Ohio & Erie Canal runs from Cleveland to 
the valley of the Muskingum, thence to Colum- 
bus and down the Scioto to Portsmouth. The 
Wabash & Erie Canal follows the valley of the 
Mauniee to Fort Wayne, and thence extends to 
Terre Haute. Tlio Miami Canal branches from 
the Wabash & Erie, 13 mis. above Deflance, and 
runs up the valley of the Auglaize R. In cross- 
ing the water-slied, it Is supplied from a reser- 
voir situated partly in Mercer and partly in 
Auglaize cos., wliich covers an area of 17,000 
acres. From this point the canal passes down 
into the Miami valley to Hamilton, and thence 
to Cincinnati. 

Ediicalion, Press, e<c.— Oliio has a thoroughly 
organized system of public schools. Each town- 
ship has a lioaril of Education, and eacli sub- 
district a local board of trustees, which man- 
ages its school alfairs, subject to the control of 
the townsliip board. All public schools are re- 
quired to be in session at least -J-t weeks during 
the year. The probate judge of each county 
appoints a Board of School Examiners, which 
has power to grant certifleates to teachers for 
a term not oxcwding two years. lnlS65a State 
Board of Examiners was created with power 
to issue certilicLites for life to teachers eminent 
for learning, skill and experience. 

Irreducible or special school funds were cre- 
ated by the sales of tlie lauds appropriated by 
Congress for school purposes. Tlie state pavs 
annually six per cent, interest on these funds 
to the counties and towns. 

In the school year ending August 31, 1S72, the 
total receipts from the funds and the taxes 
amounted to $9,813,715, and tlie expenditures 
for school purposes to $7,383,856. The number 
of school-houses in townships was 10,686, and in 
separate districts 978, having an estimated 
value, liicluding grounds, of $17,168,196. There 
were employed '.22,061 teachers, and there were 
enrolled in the schools 708,800 pupils, while the 
dally average attendance was -108,538. 

The Ohio University, a state institution, 
founded in 1801, is located at Athens ; the Mi- 
ami University is at Oxford ; Oberlin College 
at Obcrliu; the Baldwin University at Berea ; 
Kenyon College at Gambler; Denison Univer- 
sity at (iranviUe, etc. Ohio has no state nor- 
mal schools. Of the nine normal schools but 
one, tlie " Southwestern," receives subvention 
from the state school fund. The number of 
colleges, universities and academies, in 1871, was 
93 ; nor is there any lack of technical and pro- 
fessional schools. 

The state charitable and correctional institu- 
tions are the State Fenitentiary, at Columbus, 
which 111 1871 had 955 convicts ; the Reform Farm 
School tor Boys, at Lancaster ; the Reform and 
Industrial School for girls; the Longview 
Asylum lor Eunatics, near Cincinnati, with 575 
natieiUs in 1871 ; the Central Ohio Lunatic Asy- 
lum, at Columbus*; the Northern Ohio Lunatic 
Asylum, at Newburgh, near Cleveland ; the 
Southern Ohio Lunatic Asylum, at Dayton ; the 
State Asylum for itliots, the Asylum for the 
Blind, and the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, 
all at Columbus. 

The piess of Ohio comprised, in January, 187-2, 
411 publications, of wliich 25 were dailies, 9 tri- 
weeklies, 5 semi-weeklies, 306 weeklies, 9 semi- 
monthlies, 53 monthlies, -2 bi-monthlies, and 
I quarterly. With the exception of 34 German 
and 1 Bohemian papers, they were published in 
Vie English language. 

The principal libraries in the state are the 
following: Ohio State Library, at Columbus, 
3(),100 volumes ; Public Library, at Cincinnati, 
83,958 vols.; Young Men's Mercliantile Library, 
at Cincinnati, 33,175 vols.; Cleveland Library 
Association, 10,000 vol; Cincinnati Law Library, 
6,000 vols., and Akron Library Association, 4,000 
vols. 



Wealih, Taxation a7id Debt.— Tho real and per- 
sonal property of Ohio was, in 1871, assessed at 
$1,502, iai,971, against $1,167,731,697 in the preced- 
ing year. The true value however was estimated, 
in 187;', at $2,235,430,.300, against $1,193,893,422 in 
1860. 

The balance in the state treasury on Novem- 
ber 15, 1871, was $74S,176; the receipts for the 
nscal year ended November 15, 1872, were $4,757,- 
798, making the amount of funds in the treasury 
during the year, $5,505,974. The disbursements 
during said year amounted to $5,058,435, so that 
on November 15, 1872, there remjfined a balance 
in the treasury of $447,539. 

The public funded debt of the state was, la 
November, 1871, $9,022,722; the redemptions 
amounted to $439,175; leaving the debt out- 
standing in November, 1872, $^^,583,540. 

The local indebtedness on September 1, 1872, 
was as follows: Debt of counties, $3,756,436; 
debt of townships, $447,238; debt of cities, $11,- 
495,591 ; debt of incoruorated villages, $6i6,560 ; 
special debt of school districts, $1,274,723; 
making an aggregate of local indebtedness of 
$17,590,548. The amount of reimbursable debt, 
state and local, therefoi-e, is $26,174,094, to which 
add $4,023,475 irreducible debt, and we find the 
grand total of all debts of the state to reach 
$30,197,.569, 

Governme7ii.—0hio was formed from the 
north-western territory ceded to the United 
States by Va. in 1783, and admitted into the 
Union as a state in April, 1802. The Governor, 
Lieutenant-Governor and Treasurer are elected 
by the people for 2 years, and for the same 
period the Secretary 'of State and Attorney 
General ; but their elections take place in alter- 
nate years. The Comptroller of the Treasury 
aud the State School Commissioner are elected 
for 3 years, and the Auditor of State for four 
years. The three members of the Board of 
Public Works are elected for 3 years, one going 
out of office each year. 

The members of the Legislature— senators 
and representatives— are elected for 2 yeara In 
1872 the Senate consisted of 36 memljers, and 
the House of Representatives of 105 members. 
Tlie judicial power of the state is vested ui a 
Supreme Court, Courts of Common Pleas, Dis- 
trict Courts, Probate Courts and Justices of the 
Peace. 

The Supreme Court consists of five judges, 
chosen by the people for a term of Ave years f 
one judge retiring from office each year. The 
j udge having the shortest time to serve is chief 
justice. This court holds at least one term 
each year at Columbus, and such other terms 
as may be provided by law. 

The state is divided" into 9 common pleas dis- 
tricts, one of which is formed by Hamilton co. 
The 8 other districts are each divide-d into 3 
sub-districts, for each of which one judge is 
elected for a term of 5 years. 

District Courts, composed of the judges of 
the Common Pleas Courts of the respective dis- 
tricts, atid presided over by one of the judges 
of the Supreme Court, are hehl in each co. at 
least once in each year. 

White male citizens of the United States^ 21 
years of age, who have resided in the state one 
year, are entitled to vote.

Ohio River, one of the principal tributaries 
of the Mississippi R.; is formed by the conflu- 
ence of the Alleghany and Monongahela Rs., 
at Pittsburgh, Pa., flo'ws in a general W. S. W. 
direction, forming the boundary between W. 
Va. and Ky. on the S,, and Ohio, fiid. and 111. on 
the N,, and joins the Mississippi at Cairo, III. 
Throughout its whole length (975 mis.) the 
river flows with a gentle current, uninterrupt- 
ed by rapids except near Louisville, Ky,, where 
it descends 26 feet in throe mis., foriiiing the 
"Falls of the Ohio." It drains the N. E, por- 
tion of the Mississippi basin, a fertile and 
populous region of 214,000 sq, mis. in extent. 
At Pittsburgh the stream, during low water, 
is 699 feet above its mouth, indicating a mean 
fall of 0.72 feet per mile. The range between 
extreme low and extreme high water is about 
45 feet, but the usual range does not exceed 25 
feet. The mean width of the river between 
Pittsburgh and Point Pleasant is 1,000 feet at 
low water and 1,200 feet at high water, the 
corresponding areas of cross-section being 
about 5,000 and .50,000 sq, feet respectively. 
These dimensions gradually increase, until 
near the mouth of the river the widths be- 
come about 2,500 feet and 3,000 feet, and the 
areas 50,000 and 150,000 sq, feet respectively. 
TheOhio discharges annually about 5 trillions 
of cubic feet, or about one-quarter of the an- 
nual discharge of the Mississippi. The first 
i-ise in the I'iver usually occurs in February, 
when the snows melt, and is about 25 feet at 
the mouth. The next rise occurs in May or 
■June, and is due to the summer rains. In Au- 
gust and September the river is lowest, and 
then is only navigable for boats of 18 inches 
draught, ilarly in November it begins to rise 
and often continues to do so until the banks 
are full. It freezes generally about Christ- 
mas, and sometimes remains frozen for four 
weeks. The following are the principal tri- 
butaries : The Muskingum, Scioto and Miami 
Rs., in Ohio; the Wabash R., which joins the 
Ohio between Ind. and 111.; the Little Kan- 
awha, Great Kanawha and Guyandotte Rs., in 
W. Va,, ancl the Sandy, Licking, Kentucky,

OREGON, one of the western states ; borders 
on the Pacific Ocean, and is bounded on the N. 
by Wash. Ter., from which it is partly separat- 
ed by the Columbia R.; on the E. by Idaho Ter. 
and on the S. by Cal. and Nev. It extends from 
42° to 46° 18' N. lat. and from 116° 40' to 124° 25' 
W. long. The area is 95,274 sq. mis., or 60,975,360 
acres. 

Surface.— ThQ prominent surface feature of 
the state is the lofty chain of the Cascade Mts., 
which intersects it "from N. to S. parallel to and 
about 110 mis. from the sea-coast. It is the 
northern continuation of the Sierra Nevada of 
Cal., and, although less elevated than that fa- 
mous range, it has the same geographical im- 
portance, being the barrier between regions 
widely differing in climate, vegetation and 
other natural characteristics. 

The portion of Oreg. which lies E. of the Cas- 
cade Mts. is an arid table-land, gentlj^ sloping 
down from the S. to the N., and having a mean 
elevation of about 2,000 feet above the sea. It 
is diversified by mountains and hills, as the 
Blue Mts., Warner's Range, which enters the 
state from Cal., and others. The valleys of 
this region, though but of limited extent, are 
very fertile, and with the aid of irrigation 
produce excellent crops. In the N. E. part of 
the state there is the Grande Ronde Valley, a 
circular basin of some 30 mis. in diameter ; S. 
of it is the Powder Valley, and in the S. E. part 
wo find the Malheur and Owyhee Valleys, 
while the John Day and Des Chutes vallej-s ex- 
tend along the eastern base of the Cascade JNIts. 

The portion of Oreg. which lies AV. of the Cas- 
cade Mts., embracing about one-third of its 
area, is in every respect the most favoi'cd and 
attractive. Here, as in California, rise the coast 
ranges to an elevation of 3,000 to 4,000 feet, and 
inclose those beautiful and exceedingly fertile 
valleys, which contain the most densely inhab- 
ited and best cultivated parts of the state. The 
valley of the AVilliamette R. extends from the 
Columbia R. in a suuthuily direction to the 44th 
parallel, and contains about 5,000,000 acres of 
land. The Umpqua Valley comprises the whole 
of Douglas CO., has an estimated area of l,0uo,000 
acres, and a very rich soil. The liogue River 
Valley, S. of the Umpqua, is hilly, and in many 
places mountainous ; but possesses many high- 
ly productive small valleys, and has an esti-

mated area of 800,000 acres. The Willamette 
Valley lies parallel to the coast line, while the 
two other valleys extend eastwardly from the 
ocean. 

The coast of Oreg. has several good harbors, 
the most important of which is that at the 
mouth of the Columbia K. The others are 
Yaquina, Umpgua, Port Orford, Coquill and 
Tillamook. 

Rivers and Lakes. — The largest stream of Oreg. 
is the Columbia, which washes the northern 
boundary from the 119th to the 124th meridian, 
a distance of about 230 mis. It is navigable, 
except at the Cascades, IGO mis. above its mouth, 
■where it breaks through the Cascade Mts. and 
where a portage by rail, 6 mis. long, has been 
constructed, and at Dallas City, 50 mis. higher 
up, where a similar portage 11 mis. long has 
been constructed. The principal tributaries 
of the Columbia are Snake li., which traverses 
Idaho Ter. and then forms part of the eastern 
boundary of Oreg., receiving from this state 
the Owyhee R., Malheur R., Grande Ronde R., 
Umatilla R. John Day's R., and the 'Willamette 
R., which rises in the Cascade Mts., drains the 
beautiful valley which bears its name, is navi- 
gable as far as Eugene City, and joins the Co- 
lumbia below Vancouver, Wash. Ter. TheUmp- 
qua and Rogue Rs. rise in the Coast Mts., 
and after a westward course empty into the 
Pacific, the former at Umpqua City, the latter 
at EUensburgh. 

In the southern part of Oreg., and E. of the 
Cascade Mts., are the Klamath Lakes, whose 
outlet is Klamath R., Albert Lake, Silver Lake, 
Lake Harnej' and the northern half of Goose 
Lake. 

Climate and Vegetation. — The climate of west- 
ern Oreg. resembles that of Cal., being remark- 
able for mildness and equability. The mean 
annual temperature of this belt of country, 
from the Columbia to the Cal. state line, varies 
from 44° near the Cascade Range to 50° at the 
sea-coast. The mean temperature of spring and 
fall is 54°, of summer, 70°, and of winter, 40°. 
The rain-fall is not exceeded in any portion of 
the United States, and amounts to 00 inches and 
more near the coast, whence to the mountains 
it gradually decreases to 44 inches. The vege- 
tation here is rich and varied. Dense forests 
of immense growth cover the valleys and hill- 
slopes, consisting mostly of coniferous trees, as 
the red-wood (abies Douglassi), yellow pine 
(abies grandis), various firs (piceanobilisandp. 
grandis), sugar pine (pinus Lambertiana), Ore- 
gon cedar(thuyagigantea), white cedar (cupres- 
sus fragrans), and others of great height and 
thickness. Nor is there any lack of deciduous 
trees peculiar to the Pacific coast, as the oak, 
elm, ash, beach, lime, chestnut and walnut, and 
interspersed among them are numberless vari- 
eties of shrubs, with the most beautiful flowers 
and foliage. Along the banks of the streams 
are narrow belts of prairies, with nutritious 
grasses and herbs. 

Widely dilferent is that portion of the state 
•which lies E. of the Cascade Mts. Here the cli- 
mate is marked by great extremes, sudden 
changes, and that aridity which characterizes 
the whole interior plateau of the continent. 
The wild sage, or artemisia, covers the plains, 
and the bottom-lands of the water-courses pro- 
duce bunch grass, willows and aspens. The 
growth of timber is restricted to the slopes and 
valleys of the higher mountain chains. 

Wild animals are still numerous. Bears, 
wolves, lynxes, panthers, foxes, deer, Rocky 
mountain sheep, antelopes, raccoons, coyotes, 
etc.. inhabit the more thinly settled portions 
of the state ; beavers, martins and otters jdeld 
valuable furs ; and the rivers and lakes abound 
in salmon and other fish. 

J'opulaiion.—T^he. first American settlements 
in Oreg. were made in 1839. In 1850 the popula- 
tion was 13,294 ; in 1860, 52,465, and in 1870, 90,923, 



including iii6,929 whites, 346 colored persons, 
3,330 Chinese and 318 taxed Indians. The num- 
ber of Indians sustaining ti'ibal relations was 
estimated at 10,960, of whom 6,110 were settled 
on reservations and at the agencies, and 4,200 
were embraced in the wandering tribes. 

According to nativity the inhabitants were 
divided as follows : Born in the United States, 
79,323, inclusive of 37,155 natives of the state ; 
born in foreign countries, 11,600, inclusive of 
1,168 natives of British America, 1,875 of Ger- 
many, 1,347 of England, 1,967 of Ireland, 394 of 
Scotland and 205 of Sweden. 

In all classes of occupations were engaged 
30,651 persons, viz.: 13,248 in agriculture, 6,090 in 
professional and personal services, 2,619 in trade 
and transportation, and 8,694 in manufactures, 
mechanical and mining industries. 

Minerals and Mining.— Tho precious minerals 
are principally found in the southern and east- 
ern sections of the state. Especially rich is the 
valley of Jackson's Cr., a tributary of Rogue R., 
where there are not only rich gold "placers," 
but also veins of gold and silver-bearing quartz. 
Coal of excellent quality is found along the sea- 
coast, chiefly, however, around Coose B., in the 
south-western part of the state. Extensive and 
almost inexhaustible deposits of iron ore occur 
in the north-western part. The iron mines near 
Oswego, 6 mis. above Portland, are successfully 
and profitably worked. The product is equal 
to the best Scottish iron. Copper ore has been 
discovered on some of the tributaries of the 
Rogue R., where one mine has lately been 
opened. 

Agriculture. — In 1870 there were 7,587 farms in 
the state, which included 2,389,252 acres of land, 
of which amount 1,116,290 acres (or 1.8 per cent, 
of the state area) were under cultivation, 761,001 
were woodland and the remainder unculti- 
vated. 

The cash value of farms was $22,352,989 and of 
farm productions, including additions to stock 
and improvements, $7,122,790. The principal 
products were: Spring svheat, 1,794,494 bush.; 
winter wheat, 546,252 bush.; rye, 3,890 bush.; In- 
dian-corn, 72,138bush.; oats, 2,029,909 bush.; Irish 
pot's, 481,710 bush.; tobacco, 3,847 lbs.; wool, 
1,080,638 lbs.; butter, 1,418,373 lbs., and hay, 73,357 
tons. 

The live stock had a value of $6,828,675, and 
included 51,702 horses, 2,581 mules and asses, 48,- 
325 milch cows, 2,441 working oxen, 69,431 other 
cattle, 318,123 sheep and 119,455 swine. 

Mamtfaclures.—Oveg. had, in 1870, 969 manu- 
facturing establishments (against 309 in 1S60), 
which used 88 steam-engines of 2,471 horse-power 
and 2'6ii water-wheels of 5,806 horse-power, and 
employed 2,884 operatives. The capital invest- 
ed amounted to $4,376,849, and the wages paid 
to $1,120,173. The materials consumed had a 
value of $3,419,756, and the products turned out 
of $6,877,387. 

The principal products of industry, with 
their values, were : Flour and meal, $1,972,444 ; 
sawed lumber, $1,014,211 ; steam-engines and 
boilers, $146,400 ; packed pork, $101,750 ; saddlery 
and harness, $131,919; tin, copper and sheet-ii-oii 
ware, $158,402, and woollen goods, $492,857. 

Commerce and Jiailroads.—1]ie direct imports 
into Oreg. from foreign countries for the year 
ended June 30, 1872, had a value of $618,882, and 
the exports to foreign countries of $699,026. 

The commercial fleet owned in the state com- 
prised 36 sailing vessels of 1,857 tons, 40 steam 
vessels of $10,209 tons, and 11 unrigged vessels 
of 945 tons. 

The total mileage of the railroads in 1872 was 
214. The principal line is the Oregon & California 
R. R., wnich is intended to extend from Port- 
land to the Cal. state line. It has been complet- 
ed from Portland to Roseburgh, a distance of 
about 200 mis. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— In 1871 the total 
1 property of Oreg., real aiid personal, waa

assessed at $34,744,459, against $31,798,510 of the 
preccdlnfj year; but the true value was esti- 
mated, in 1870, at 851,558,932, an increase of over 
$23,000,000 since 1860. 

The interest-bearing debt of the state was, 
in 1870, .4106.583 ; of the counties, §105,903, and of 
the cities and towns, $6,000. The aggregate of 
the entire public indcbt<!dness at the end of the 
fiscal year 1870 amounted to !g218,4(i8. 

The total taxation (not national) during the 
same year was $580,950, against .§199,056 in 1800. 
In the fiscal year ended September, 1872, the 
receipts of the treasury amounted to $942,570, 
and the disbursements to $769,972, leaving a 
balance on hand of $172,598. 

Education, Press, eic— Congress has donated 
to the state lands for educational and other 
purposes, as follows : 1. School-lands proper, 
1. e.,the 16th and 36th sections, or their equiva- 
lent, whore portions of such sections were held 
by donation claimants prior to the pnblic sur- 
veys. 2. University lands, consisting of 72 sec- 
tions, for the use and support of a state uni- 
versity. 3. Five hundreil thousand acres of 
laud for purposes of internal improvement, 
and which have been designated as state lands. 
4. Ninety thousand acres of land for the sup- 
port of an agricultural college. 

The expenses for the public schools are de- 
frayed from a tax of two per mills of the taxa- 
ble property in the state, and amounted to 
nearly $60,000 in 1870. The total receipts of the 
school <lepartment amounted to $153,000. There 
were 636 school districts in the state. The 
number of persons of school age (from 4 to 20 
years) was, in 1871, 34,055, of whom 21,000 were 
enrolled in the public schools. 

The higher educational institutions wei-e the 
following: the Pacific University, at Forest 
Grove (founded in 1848) ; the Williamette Uni- 
versity (Methodist), at Salem; the Oregon Col- 
lege (Baptist), at Oregon City ; the Holy Angels, 
College, at Vancouver ; the Philomath College,

and St. John's High School, at Eugene City ; 
the Albany Collegiate Institute, at Albany; 
the St. Mary's Academy and Jacksonville 
Academy, at Jacksonville, .and the Rosebuigh 
Academy, at Wilbur. The State University 
has not yet been established, nor has the Agri- 
cultural" College been organized. 

There were 166, other than private libraries in 
Oregon, with 61,532 vols. 

The press consisted, in January 1, 1S72, of 30 
newspapers and periodicals, of which 4 were 
dailies, 22 weeklies, 1 semi-monthly, 2 month- 
lies, and 1 quarterly. 

The penal and charitable institutions are the 
State Penitentiary, near Salem ; the State 
School for the Deaf and Dumb, at Salem, and 
the Oregon Hospital for the Insane, at East 
Portland. 

Oovernment.—Orc^. was organized as a terri- 
tory in 1848; was divided in l.S52,tho northern por- 
tion being called Washington and the southern 
Oregon. A state constitution was adopted in 
1857, and it was admitted into the Union, in 
1859. 

The Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer 
and State Printer are elected for 4 years. The 
general election for state and county offlcers is 
held biennially on the first Monday of June. The 
legislative assembly consists of a Senate and a

Every white male citizen of the United States, 
six months a resident of the state, may vote. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court and five Circuit Courts. The Supreme 
Court consists of five justices, who are al.so 
judges of the District Courts in their respective 
districts. Their term of offlce is 6 years. The 



g? 



Supreme Court holds one term annually at the 

seat of government. 
Oregon is divided into the following 22 cos.:

PENNSTIiVA^riA, one of the thirteen 
original states of the Union, and wilh regard to 
population and wealth second to X. Y. only ; 
extends from 39° 43' to 42° 15' N. latitude, and 
from 74° 40' to 80° 40' W. longitude. It is bounded 
on the N. liv N. Y. and Lake Erie ; on the W. by 
Ohio and W. Va.; on the S. bj^ W. ^■a., Md. and 
Del., and on the E. bj' X. Y. and N. J. It has 
the shape of a rectangle, which is 303 mis. long 
from E. to W. and 176 mis. wide from S. to N., and 
includes an area of 46,000 sq. mis., or 29,440,000 
acres. Its boundaries are straight lines, with 
the exception of the eastern, which is formed 
by the Delaware R., and the western extremity 
of the nortliern, which is formed by Lake Erie. 

Surface.— I'ii. is naturally divided into three 
parts : a south-eastern district of plains and 
scattered hills ; a mountain belt of symmetrical 
and parallel ranges ; and a western table-land 
of a rolling surface, deeply furrowed by valleys 
of erosion. 

1. The South-eastern District is bounded on 
the N. W. by the Blue, or Kittatinny, Mts., and 
on the E. by the Delaware R., and corresponds 
to the " Middle Country " of Va. Along the 
banks of the Delaware, below Trenton, N. J., 
there extends a narrow plain of low land, 
rarely exceeding a few miles In width or a few 
feet in height above the sea level, and in which 
is situated the larger portion of the city of 
Philadelphia. Prom this plain the ground rises, 
gently in some parts, boldly and with hillj'' 
slopes in others, and gradually ascends to a 
thousand feet at the base of the Kittatinnies. 
The surface of the district is undulating or roll- 
ing, and along the borders of the water-courses 
often presents scenery of great boldness and 
picturesque beauty ; for example, on the well 
known Wissahickon, near Philadelphia, on the 
Brandywine, the Schuylkill and elsewhere. 
The country lying along the Kittatinny Mts., 
known as the Cumberland Valley, is a part or 
the " Great Valley " which extends through the 
entire length of the Appalachian System from 
Canada to Alabama. But the mountain ranges 
that elsewhere cut olT the Great Valley from the 
open countrj' on the seaboard, sink in Penn- 
sylvania beneath tlie plain for a distance of 00 
nils., so that the Cumberland Valley is but par- 
tially bounded by the South Mt.of Adams, Frank- 
lin and Cumberland cos. (the continuation of 
the Virginian Blue Ridge) ; the Forest Hills, in 
Berks and Lebanon cos., and the South Mt. of 
Berks and Bucks cos. (the continuation of the 
Highland Belt of N. J.). The detached ridges 
which traverse the country to the S. of the 
Cumberland Valley are the Welsh Hills, be- 
tween Lancaster, Berks and Chester cos., the 
Conewago Hills of York and Dauphin cos., and 
the Copper-inine Ridge, in Chester co., while 
isolated mountains of trap-rock, like the Hay- 
cock in Berks co. and the Round Top in York, 
add another feature to the scenery. 

2. The Mountain Belt extends through the 
state, in a wiilth of about 50 mis., between the 
Kittatinny Sits, on the one side and the Alle- 
ghany Mts. on the other. The latter range in- 
cludes the culminating ground of tlie state, 
and has a mean elevatiou of 2,000 feet and sum- 
mits of 2,500 feet above the sea level. Its nortli- 
ern extremity rises from the table-land of 
Wayne co. (which enters this state from N. Y., 
where it forms the base of the Catskill Mts.), 
runs for 40 nils. straight S. 63° W. (here known by 
the local name of Great Xorth Mt.), antl then 
setting N. for 10 mis., and giving issue to the 
waters of Muncy Cr.,it takes anew de))artureS. 
So'^W.tothe ravines of Loyalsock Cr. and Ly- 
coming Cr. From this point the range makes 
a straight line S. 62° W. to the gorge at Lock- 
haven, where the West Branch of the Susque- 
hanna R. breaks through it; and thence to Md,. 
it forms a nearly unbroken wall of rock l.ODO 
feet above its eastern base, trending S. ,50° "W 
from Black Cr. to Altooiia, and thence S. 29° W. 



PENNSYLVANIA. 

Between tliis great wall (the precipitous east- 
ern slope of tlieAlleglitiny Mts.)anathe Kitta- 
tinny Mts. there is a large number of ridges 
with uniform slopes, being in many cases unva- 
ried by ravine or gully tor many miles. The 
crests are for the most part sharp, and for 
long distances preserve the same height, be- 
ing only here and there interrupted by notches, 
some ot which descend to the valley levels, and 

five passages to the streams of the country, 
n many instances two pai-allel ridges unite at 
their extremities, and inclose a deep, narrow, 
oval valley, often resembling a long, sharply 
pointed canoe or skitf. 

This mountain belt is intersected near the 
middle by the valley of the Susquehanna R., 
which is very irregular in width, now contract- 
ed by the jutting mountains on each side, now 
widening to 'iO and 30 mis. by valleys running 
up between these mountains. 

To the E. of the Susquehanna Valley lies the 
Anthracite Region, which includes the Potts- 
ville and Mine Hil4 Basin, between the Sharp 
Mts. and the plateau-like Broad Mt.; the Shamo- 
kin and Mahanoy Basin, between the Lime Mt., 
the Mahanoy and Little Mts.; the Beaver Mead- 
ow Mountain Basin, extending to Bucks Mt. in 
the N., and intersected by numerous short 
ranges, and lastly the Wilkesbarre and Scran- 
ton Basin, also known as the Wyoming Valley, 
which is bordered on the S. E. by the range of 
the AVyoming and Moosic Mts., and on the N. 
vy. by that of the Knob Mt., Shawney Range, 
Capon s Range and the Lackawanna Mts., and 
Which IS perhaps the most perfect of the canoe- 
B^^aped valleys of the state. The East Branch 
CI the Susquehanna R. enters it near the middle 
of Its northern rim, tlows through a large por- 
tion of it in a south-westerly direction, and 
leaves it through a gap in the Wyoming Mts. 

Betvveeu the last-named range, the Delaware 
R., the upper course of the Lehigh R. and the 
Kittatmny Mts., there extends the Pocono, or 
Poeo Wilderness, which consists of the "Shades 
of Death," a region of swamps and laurel thick- 
ets, the haunt of the panther, the bear and other 
wild animals, and extensive beach-timbered pla- 
teaus, 2,000 feet above the sea. It chiefly in- 
cludes Pike and Monroe cos. 

That part of the mountain belt which lies W. 
ot the Susquehanna Valley may be termed the 
Juniata country. The traveler who crosses it 
from the Blue to the Alleghany Mts. has to 
pass everywhere over narrow mountain ranges 
and through broad and fertile valleys. Leaving- 
out the unimportant ones, they may be enum- 
erated as follows : The first long chain that suc- 
ceeds the Blue is that of the Tuscarora Mts., 
and W. of it lies the Tuscarora Vallej-, 50 mis. 
long and curving from the Susquehanna R. to 
i ulton CO. Then follows the composite range 
ot the Shade and Black Log Mts., beyond which 
IS the long valley, commencing at Middleburgh, 
111 Snyder co., and running to Lewistown, 
where It becomes the Juniata Valley proper. 
At Aewton-Hamilton it becomes the Great 
Augl) wick Valley, and enters Maryland at AVere- 
lordsburg. For a hundred miles it preserves 
a width of about 8 mis. Kishacoquillas Valley, 
back ot Lewistown, is inclosed between Jack's 
Mt. and Stone Sit. at its southern end, and the 
Seven Mts. at its northenr end. It is about r,3 
mis. long and nowhere exceeds 4 mis. in width, 
a be Stone Valley is shut off from all connection 
With the Susquehanna country by the circus of 
the Seven Mts., and bounded" bv Stone Mt. in 
the E., and Tussey's Mt. in the W. Huntingdon 
Stands in the center, and Warrior's Ridge occu- 
pies the middle of its floor. Erom the end of 
Terrace Mt., rising 1,-JOO feet above the Juniata 
R., the tourist may overlook the scene and en- 
Joy one of the grandest landscane views in the 
State. Broad Top Mt., in Huntingdon and Bed- 
ford COS., reduces its width (elsewhere 12 or 16 
mis.) to 4 mis. 



699 



PENNSYLVANIA. 



West of Tussey's Mt. and Nittany Mt lies the 
JVittany Valley, which is bounded on the \V. by 
the Bald Eagle Range, and on the N. E. by the 
i^r.'i^^ ?^^-' '"^"^^ ^^^^ ^ length within the state 
ot 110 mis., but varies in width from 4 to 20 mis. 
It IS everywhere fertile and well settled, and 
» VV'i^'^^ "^ deposits of hematite iron ore. The 
Bald Eagle Valley is the last of the series iind 
faces for 160 mis. the wall of the Alleghany Mts. 
from Muncy, on the North Branch of the Sua- 
quehanna, to the Md, state line. For 100 mis 
It IS bounded on the S. E. by the Bald Eagle 
Mts. i or 35 mis. the Susquehanna flows throuf-h 
It ; the next 40 mis. are traversed by Bald Eagle 
Cr., and then the drainage is reversed into the 
Juniata for 41 mis. Near the head waters of the 
irankstown Branch the valley widens and 
lorms a hatchet-shaped cove, in which are the 
fields, furnaces and iron mines of Hollidays- 
burg and Erankstown. The next 20 mis. are oc- 
cupietl by the head waters of the Raystown 
Branch, and here opens the Bedford Vallev to 
theE. 

3. The Western Table-land occupies one-half 
the area ot the state and extends from the 
crest of the Alleghany Mts. toward K. Y„ 
Lake Erie and Ohio. It includes the Mehoopany 
Mt., in Sullivan co., which extends beyond the 
Susquehanna at Tunkhannock, the Towanda 
Mt., m Bradford co., and the Blossburgh Mt. and 
the Crooked Creek Mt., both in fioga co. This 
north-eastern part of the table-land is the re- 
gion of white pine forests and the Susque- 
hanna lumber trade. The south-eastern part is 
intersected by Negro Mt., Laurel Ridge and 
Chestnut Ridije. The last two ranges inclose 
the Ligonier Valley, and, M'here thev are inter- 
sected by the Voughiogheny R., present scenery 
both grand and beautiful. 

Mivers.— The principal rivers of Pa. empty 
either into the Atlantic Ocean through Dela- 
ware and Chesapeake Bs. or into the Ohio. The 
water-shed between these two drainage sys- 
tems follows the southern extremity of the Al- 
leghany Mts., turns N. W. in Somerset co.. and 
then intersects the western table-land in Clar- 
ion, Elk, McKean and Potter cos. The part of 
the state lying AV. of this line is drained by the 
Ohio R., except only the small areas which send 
their waters to the Genesee R. (90 sq. mis ) and 
directly into Lake Erie (352 sq. mls.j. The Ohio 
R. IS formed at Pittsburgh by the confluence of 
the Alleghany and Mononaahela Rs. The for- 
mer receives Conewango, Oil and French Crs. 
trom the N. W., and Tionesta Cr., Clarion R., Red 
Bank Cr., Mahoning Cr., Crooked Cr. and Cone- 
niaugh R. from the E. Into tlie Monongahela 
R. empty the Voughiogheny and several small 
creeks in Greene and Washington cos., and the 
direct affluents of the Ohio R. are Chartiers Cr. 
and the Shenango R. 

The Susquehanna R. drains nearly one-half 
of the area of the state. It is formed bv the 
East and West Branches, which unite above 
Sunbury, in Northumberland co. From this 
point the stream flows S. to the mouth of the 
Juniata R., and turning S. E. passes bv Harris- 
burgh and Columbia, and emi)tius into the 
northern extremity of Chesapeake B. at Port 
Deposit, Md. Its width is very unequal and 
varies between a quarter of a mile and one 
mile and a half, and as the bed is interrupted 
by rocky ledges the stream is not navigable. 
The East Branch rises in Otsego Lake (Otsego 
CO., N. v.), flows S. W. to Susquehanna co., Pa., 
bends back into N. Y., and reentering Pa. i'l 
Bradford co. flows S. E. into Wyoming Valley, 
whence it pursues a south-westerly course to 
Its junction with the West Branch. Its course 
is tortuous and its fall great, so that it furnishes 
much water-power. Its principal tributaries 
areMeshoppen,Tunkhaiinock and Lackawanno 
Crs. The West Branch rises in Cambria co., anc 
flows N.E. through Clearfield co., and then pur- 
sues a very tortuous easterly direction as far as 



PENNSYLVANIA.

Muncy, where it bends sliaiiily S. to its conflu- 
ence with the ICast Brancli. Its northern afflu- 
ents are Sinnenialioning, Pine, Lycoming, Loy- 
alsock and Muncj- Crs., and its southern, Clear- 
field, Moslianuon, Bald Eagle, White Deer and 
Bntlalo Crs. 

The principal tributary of the Susquehanna 
Is the Juniata R., which is formed by the con- 
fluence, below Huntingdon, of the Frankstown 
and Ray^town Branches, follows an casterlj^ 
course across the mountain belt and empties 
above Petersljurg. The Susquehanna also re- 
ceives from the W. Penu's, Sherman's, Conedo- 
gwmit. Breeches, Concwago and Codorus Crs., 
and from the K. Shamokin, Mahauoj'^, Wiconis- 
00, Powell's, Clark's, Stoncy, Swatara and Con- 
estoga Crs. 

The Delaware R. rises on the western de- 
clivities of the Catskill Mts., X. Y., in two 
branches, the Main, or Coquago, Branch and 
the East, or Popacton, Braneli, which unite 
near Hancock, Delaware co., N. Y. Thence the 
river flows S. E., separating N. Y. from Pa., to 
Port Jervis, where it turns S. W. and flows 
along the northern base of the Shawangunk 
Mts. of N. J. At the Delaware Water Gap it 
traverses the celebrated notch between the 
Shawangunk and Blue Mts., which rise nearly 
1,200 feet above its banks, and thence follows a 
southerly eoui-se to the South ISIt. a few miles 
below Kaston. Here it turns again S. E. as far 
as Trenton, N. J., whei-e it falls over a rocky 
ledge and meets tide-water, 132 mis. from the 
sea. Flowing once more in a south-westerly di- 
rection it passes by Philadelphia, and gradually 
expands into Delaware B., between the states 
of Del. and N. J. It is navigable to Philadel- 
phia for the largest vessels, and for smaller 
boats to Trenton. The area drained by the 
Delaware is estimated at 11,250 sq. mis. The 
principal triljutaries are Lackawaxen Cr., the 
Lehigh R., Schuylkill R. and Brandywine R. 

The CUniale of Pa. varies considerably with 
the elevation above the sea, and while the lower 
portions of the state have very hot summers, 
with the thermometer rising to 100 degrees, the 
higher portions have pleasant summers, but 
long and severe winters. The mean annual 
tempei'ature is over .52° in the south-eastern 
COS., and decreases to 48° and 44° in the ctntral 
and northern cos. respectively. The amount 
of rain and snow which falls varies from 36 to 
40 inches. In the S. E. corner it is nearly 48 
inches. 

The Vegetation of Pa. is rich and varied. Ex- 
tensive forests cover much of the mountain 
belt and the western table-lanit, consisting of 
pines and coniferous trees in the north-central 
parts of the state, and of deciduous trees in the 
rest of the state. Climbing plants, such as the 
wild grape, the trumpet flower, etc., are quite 
abundant, and greatly add to the attractive 
beauty of the forests. The undergrowth con- 
sists largely of flowering shrubs, as the " lau- 
rel," a species of Rhododendron, the azalea, 
and many others. 

Population.— Tho pop. of Pa. in 1790 was 434,- 
373 ; in 1800, 602,3(;5 ; in 1810, 810,0!)1 ; in 1S20, 1,047,- 
507 ; in 1830, 1,348,233 ; in 1S40, 1,724,033 ; in 1850, 
2,311,786; in 1860, 2,906,21.5, and in 1870, 3,521,951. 
Of these there were 3,456,609 white, 65.294 col- 
ored, 13 Chinese, 1 Japanese, and 34 Indians. 

In reganl to nativity the pop. is distrib\ited 
as follows : Born in the United States, 2,976,- 
642, including 2,726,712 natives of the state, 
6,767 of Conn., 14,617 of Del., 2,283 of 111., 1,440 of 
lud., 952 of Iowa, 1,375 of Ky., 3,071 of Me., 28,910 
of Md., 9,119 of Mass., 1,485 of Mich., 1,852 of N. 
H., 36,694 of N. J., 87,869 of N. Y., 1,002 of N. C, 
19,295 of Ohio, 1,119 of S. C, 1.586 of R. I., 4,163 of 
Vt.. 18,936 of Va. and W. Va., and 1,462 of the 
D. O. The foreign-born population numbered 
545,309. including 1,,536 natives of Austria, 10,022 
of British Amei-ica, 8,694 of France, 160,146 of 
trcrraany, 69,665 of England, 235,798 of Ireland, 



16,846 of Scotland, 27,043 of Wales, 2,266 of Swe- 
den, and 5,765 of Switzerland. 

The population of 10 ye:irs of age and over 
numbered, in 1870, 2,597,809 ; and of these were 
engaged in all classes of occupations 1,020,544 
persons, viz,: in agriculture, 2ti0,051 ; in profes- 
sional and personal services, 283,000; in trade 
and transportation, 121,2.53, and in manufac- 
tures antl mechanical and mining industries, 
356,240. 

Minerals and Arming. — Although Pa. has no 
deposits of precious metals, its iron and coal 
treasures alone render it one of the richest 
mining states of the Union. The anthracite 
coal fields, in the mountain belt between the 
Susquehanna and Delaware Rs., have ah'eady 
been mentioned. The bituminous coal isneavly 
all produced in the five cos. of Greene, Fayette, 
Washington, Jlonroe and Alleghany; and the 
semi-bituminous coal, which is largely used for 
manufacturing purposes, is produced in the 
COS. of Tioga, Bradford, Centre, Camljria and 
Huntingdon. The coal product of the state, in 
1S70, was computed to ha^'e been 7,07.5,841 tons 
bituminous coal of all kinds, and 15,849,809 tons 
anthracite coal, making a grand total of 23,525,- 
740 tons. 

Petroleum was known to exist in Pa. at a 
very early day ; but it had no commercial im- 
portance until 1859. Since then the oil regions 
on Oil Cr. and on the Shenango R. have yielded 
immense qtiantities of this useful substance, 
not oidy for home consumption, but also for 
export into foreign cotmtries. ' In 18.59 the 
petroleum pi-oiluct amounted to 82,009 barrels ; 
in 1864 to 2,116,109 barrels, and in 1870 to 5,659,000 
barrels, of which .3,279,951 barrels were exported. 

Pa. is the first " iron " state in the Union, and 
produces more of this metal and articles manu- 
factured from it than .all the other states and 
territories together. The mines are scattered 
throughout the naountain belt, the south- 
eastern district, and to a more limited extent 
through the westei'u table-land. 

Salt springs occur chiefly in the valleys of 
the Monongahela, Kiskiminetas and Beaver 
lis., which yield about 1,700,000 Imshels an- 
nually. Limestone, marble, slate and superior 
building stones are very abundant. Marble is 
found chiefly in Chester and Montgomerj- cos.; 
the slate of York and Lehigh cos. is of superior 
quality : zinc mi nes are worked near Bethlehem 
and in Huntingdon co.; graphite is obtained in 
Bucks CO., and nickel from the "Gap Nickel 
Mines." iu Lancaster co., the onlj^ ones in the 
United States. Chromium occurs in great quan- 
tities in Chester and Lancaster cos., and salt- 
peter deposits h.ave been discovered in the 
central parts of the state. 

According to the census report the mining 
products of the state, in 1870, had a value ot 
|76,208,,390, of which iJ38,43C,745 were for anthra- 
cite coal, $13,921,01;'.) for bituminous coal, iil8,045,- 
967 for petroleum, ^3,944,146 for iron, !J618,229 for 
slate, $873,879 for stone, $235,555 for zinc, $101,000 
for marble, $24,000 for nickel and $7,800 for cop- 
per. 

Agricultnre.—Fa. has a very large amount of 
the best farming soil in the country, and is pre- 
eminently an agricultural state. "The richest 
lands are in the picturesque valleys intervew- 
ing between the numerous mountain ranges 
of the interior, and in the S. E. portion of the 
state, embracing the cos. of Delaware, Bucks, 
Montgomery, Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon, 
Berks and Lehigh. The northern tier of Cos., 
lying on the table-land N. and N. W. of the Al- 
leghany Mts., is less productive, and as yet but 
thinlv settled. 

In 1870 there were 174,041 farms In Pa., of 
which 61,268 contained from 50 to 100 acres; 
48,151 from 20 to 50 acres ; 38,273 from 100 to .50C 
acres ; 1.5,905 from 10 to 20 u(-res ; 152 over 500 
acres, and the i-emainder, 10,292, under 10 acres. 
The farms included 11,515,965 acres of improved

land (ov 39.12 per cent, of the area of the state), 
5,740,864 acres of M'ooclland, and 737,371 of unim- 
provsd land. The cash value of farms amounted 
to $1 p43,481,5S-2, and of farming implements, 
$35,658,191). The estimated value of all farm 
productions, including additions to stock, etc., 
was $183,946,027; of orchard products, ^4,208,094 : 
of market gardens, $1,810,016, and of forest pro- 
ducts, $-2,670,370. 

The farm productions were : Spring wheat, 
i-2-2,S-2S bush.; winter wheat, 19,3r)0,639 bush.; rye, 
3,577,641 bush.; Indian-corn, 34,70-2,006 bush.; oats 
86,178,58.5 bush.; barlej^ 5'29,.562 bush.; buckwheat, 
2,53-2,173 bush.; Irish pot's, 1-2,889,367 bush.; sweet

0.561,722 lbs.; butter, 60,834,644 lbs.; cheese, 1,145,- 
209 lbs.; flax, 815,906 lbs.; maple sugar, 1,545,917 
lbs., and sorghum molasses, 213,373 gals.; hav. 
2,848,219 tons. 6 i Ji 

The live stock had a value of $115,647,075, and 
comprised 460,339 horses, 18,009 mules and asses, 
706,437 mileh cows, 30,048 working oxen, 603,066 
Other cattle, 1,794,301 sheep and 867,548 swine. 

3fam/factwes. — No state in the Union has 
greater tacilities for manufacturing than Pa., 
in Its abundance of water-power, coal and iron. 
According to the census of 1870 there were 37,- 
200 manutacturing establishments (the largest 
number of anj- state in the Union), against 22,- 
363 in 1860, using 6,230 steam-engines, of 221,936 
horse-power, and 7,603 water-wheels, of 141,982 
horse-power. There were employed 319,487 
hands, ot whom 256,543 were males above 16 
years of age, 43,712 aboVe 15 years of age and 19,- 
232 youths. The capital invested in manufac- 
tunngwas $406,8-21,84.5, the wages paid amounted 
to $127,9/6,.594 ; the materials consumed had a 
value of $421,197,673, and the goods and com- 
modities produced of $711,894,344 (being second 
only to that of the state of K. Y.). 

The following were the products of industry 
exceeding one million of dollars in value : Agri-

Commerce, Railroads, e<c.— Although Pa. is not 
a seaboard state, its great maritime port, 
1 Uiladelphia, gives it easv access to and from 
the ocean and good facilities for foreign com- 
pierce. In extent of exportation and i'mporta. 
tjon Philadelphia is the sixth port of entry in 
the Union. The only other ports of entry ot 
the state are Pittsburgh and Erie. The com- 
mercial fleet of the state comprised, in 1872, 794 
sailing vessels of 103,754 tons, 434 steaui vesselo 
ot 101,294 tons and 1,975 unrigged vessels of 203 - 
868 tons, making a grand total of 3,303 >essels of 
408,916 tons. Of these Philadelphia had 2 786 
vessels of 317,480 tons ; Pittsburgh, 333 vessels of 
76,444 tons, and Erie, 84 vessels of 14,972 tons 
During the fiscal year ended June 30,1872, the 
total value of imports from foreign countries 
was $-20,515,353, of exports of domestic commodi- 
ties to foreign countries, $21,031,.399, and of re- 
exports of foreign commodities to foreien 
countries, .$33,874. " 

Of far more importance than the foreign 
commerce is the domestic commerce of the 
state, owing to the vast amount of its home 
productions (coal, iron, agricultural products 
and manufactures). The natural highwavs of 
commerce arc limited, and consist in the navi- 
gable waters of Lake Erie and the Delaware R 
which only touch the borders of the state! 
The means of communication comprise very 
complete systems of railways and canals. On 
January 1,1873, Pa. had 5,787 mis. of railways, 
against 5,369 in 1872, 3,008 in 186-2, 1,372 in 185-2, and 
789 in 184-2. The number of companies whose 
lines are wholly or partially within the state is 
115. Their paid up capital, as far as reported, 
was .$393,670,886 ; the funded debt, $2.56,7-26,707 and 
the fioating debt, $-25,038,0-26. The rolling stock 
consisted of 3,-2,59 locomotives, 1,396 first-class 
passengercars, 706 postaland express cars, 41,855 
treightcars,and 48,993 coal cars and stone trucks. 
The various companies own 472 machine and 
workshops, 1,873 depots and station-buildings, 
417 iron bridges, and 1,831 stone bridges. In 
1871 there were moved on the railroads 31,548,996 
passengers and 58,807,802 tons of freight, inclu- 
sive of over 31,000,000 tons of coal and nearly 
7,000,000 tons of iron. The total expenditures 
of the companies amounted to $73,212,372, and 
the total receipts to $117,900,'281. 

The principal lines are the Pennsylvania 
R. R. (3u4mls. in the state, from Philadelphia 
to Pittsburgh) ; the Erie R. R. (only 46 mis. in 
the state) ; the Atlantic & Great Western R. R. 
(127^ mis.) ; the Lake Shore & Michigan South- 
ern R. R. (44 mis.) ; the Philadelphia & Erie 
R. R. (-287 mis.) ; the Alleghany Vallev R. R. (140 
mis.) ; the Cumberlanl Valley R. R."(-201 mis.) ; 
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western R. R. (115 
mis.) ; the Lehigh Valley R. R. (-230 mis.) ; the 
Northern Central R. R. (142 mis.) ; the Oil Creek 
& Alleghany River R. R. (1-20 mis.) ; the Penn- 
S3dvania& New York R. R. (144 mis.) ; the Phila- 
delphia & Reading R. R. (708 mis.), and the 
Pittsburgh, Washington & Baltimore R. R. (147 
mis.). 

The canal system of Pa. is very complete, 
and comprises 12 distinct lines, with a tota't. 
length of 9-20 mis., of which 507 are within the 
limits of the state. The Schuylkill Canal is 108 
mis. long; the Pennsylvania Canal (360 mis.), 
has 169 locks, 53(> bridges, and 68 aqueducts; of 
the Delaware & Hudson Canal (108 mis. long), but 
25 mis. are in Pa., and the Erie & Pittsburgh 
Canal intersects the north-western tier of cos. 
Wealth, Taxation and Debt.— Tha taxable 
property of Pa. was assessed in 1870 at $1,313,- 
230,0-24, of which $1,071,680,934 were for real es- 
tate and $241,5,55,108 for personal property. The 
true value of real and personal property waa

estimated at $3,S03,3W,112 against Sl,41fi.50], Sis iu 
iStiO. The ])ul)lic debt of the state was, on No- 
vember oO, 1S71 , $'29,779,8'20. During the liscal year 
ended Xovember 30, 1872, S2.47(),32(; were paid \>y 
tile Coinmissioners of tlie Sinliing Fund, leav- 
ing a debt of §27,303,494. From tliis sum sliould 
be deducted $9,300,000, being assets in the sinlc- 
ing fund, and $1, 482,455, Ijeing cash baiance in 
the treasury. This would ra.aice the amount of 
debt unprovided for, *;l(i,521,039. The total 
debts of the cos. in 1870 amounted to .'^49,173,^50, 
and those of cities and towns to $8,741,649. 

The receipts of the State Treasury during the 
ascal year ended November 30, 1872, Avere $S,- 
6i5,44(;, of which $7,148,037 were ordinary re- 
ceipts, the remainder being the casli balance on 
hand from the preceding j-ear. The disburse- 
ments were $7,142,990, of wliich 82,960,631 were 
ordinary expenses, $2,476,326 were loans, etc., 
i-edeemed, and the balance, $1,706,032, was ap- 
plied to the i)ayment of interest on loans. The 
balance of cash remaining in the treasury on 
November 30, 1872, was $1,4>2,455. 

JEdvcdtion, Press, etc.— The first permanent 
school fund was created in 1831, and therewith 
the flrst foundation laid for the public school 
system. In that year the state had but 93 
school districts with 451 schools. In 1838 there 
were 840 districts with 5,269 schools. In 1857 the 
law for the establishment of twelve normal 
schools was passed. 

In 1871 the stale was divided into 2,023 school 
districts, in which there were 15,700 public 
schools, inclusive of 5,634 graded schools. The 
pop. of school age (from 6 to 21 years), num- 
bered in 1870, 975,753, of whom 834,614 were en- 
rolled. The number of teachers was 18,021, viz.: 
7,720 male and 10,301 female. The total school 
property was estimateit at $16,889,624, and the 
total expenditures for school purposes amount- 
ed to .SS,580,918 (for the year ended June 8, 
1871). Pa. has 5 normal schools, which are lo- 
cated at Millersville, Edinboro, Manstield, 
Kulzlown anil Bloomsburgh. The receipts of 
the normal schools were $161,303, and the ex- 
]3enditures $149,819. 

The number of private schools was 34G, and of 
academies and high scliools, 161. The pupils of 
these two classes of institutions numbered 19,- 
394, and of teachers giving instruction therein, 
720. 

Of the ."0 universities and colleges in the state 
the following are the most prominent : The 
University of Pennsylvania, founded in 17.55, 
an(l located at Philadelphia ; Dickinson College 
(Methodist), at Carlisle; Washington and Jef- 
ferson College, at Washington ; the Moravian 
College, at Bethlehem; Allejjhany College, at 
Meadville; the Western University, at Pitts- 
burg li ; La Fayette College (Presbyterian), at 
Faston ; Lehigh University, at South Bethle- 
hem ; Pennsylvania College, at Gettysburg!! ; 
Haverford College (Quaker), at West Haver- 
ford; the Augustinian College of Villa Nova 
(Ror-ian Catholic), in Delaware co.; Lewisburgh 
UniTersity, at Lewisburgh ; St. Vincent's Col- 
lege (Roman Catholic), in Westmoreland co.; 
Muhlenburgh College (Lutheran), at Allentown, 
and I'ranklin and Marshall CoUege.at Lancaster. 

A'^cording to the een»us of 1870 the six uni- 
verrdlies of Pa. had 127 teachers, of whom 17 
wcrB females, and 1,391 male and 170 female 
students. There were 6 medical, 2 dental, 11 
theological, 1 agricultural and 8 commercial 
schools in the state. 

The earliest newspaper of Pa. was the "Ameri-

ciety of Friends, and tlie Woodbrooli Insane 
Hospital in 1859, at Media. The Deaf and Dumb

*Philadelphla, city and commercial metrop- 
olis of Pa.; is situated between the Delaware 
and Schuylkill Rs., immediately above their 
confluence, and on the W. bank of the latter 
stream, in lat. 39° 57' N., and long. 75° 10' W., 
or 136 mis. N. E. of Washington, 96 mis. from 
the Ocean via the Delaware R., and 86 mis. S. 
W. of New York city. In territorial extent it 
is the largest city in the Union, being co-ex- 
ten.sive witli Philadelphia co., and having a 
total length of 23 mis., an average breadth of 
5^ mis., and an area of 129}/^ sq. mis. or 82,700 
acres. 

The site of the city is, in general, a level 
plain, extending from river to river, with suf- 
ficient elevation in the center to admit of 
easy drainage, but falling off in the southern 
part into monotonous alluvial flats, and rising 
in the northern part and W. of the Schuylkill 
into an undulating and sometimes broken 
table-land. 

The city plan is rectangular, the direction 
of the streets corresponding with the cardinal 
points of the compass ; but exceptions to this 
regularity are found in the presence of sevei-al 
ancient thoroughfares which were built up 
before the plan was fully elaborated, in many 
of the angles of the rivers, and in not a few 
of the suburban towns and distiucts which, in 
the course of time have blended with the city 
proper. 

Philadelphia was founded by William Penn 
in 1682, and laid out in the succeeding year by 
Thomas Holmes, but was not regularly incor- 

S orated until 1701, when its limits were the 
lelaware on the E., the Schuylkill on the W., 
Vine Street on the N. and South Street on the 
S., in all ten streets running E. and W. and 
twenty-flve running N. and S.; the central 
streets. Market anil Broad, lOO and 113 feet 
wide respectively, having extensive public 
grounds at their intersection, and each of the 
quadrangles into which they divided the plan 
having similar parks or public grounds near 
their centers. This area did not long suffice 
to contain either population or trade, but it 
becamesurroundedby thrifty districts, which 
in the aggregate were larger and more popu- 
lous than the city itself. These were all con- 
solidated in the year 1854, and became one 
municipality. 

Most of these district names still survive in 
the localities they designated, and are used 
in a conventional way, when particularity of 
description is an object: thus, mention inuy 
be heard of Bridesburgh, on the Delaware, at 
the mouth of Frankford Cr., some 7 mis. N. N. 
E. of the State House, where a United States 
Arsenal is located, and which is the seat of 
many handsome private residences: of Frank- 
ford, on Tacony Cr., 6 mis. N. by E., with its 
Friends' Asylum for the Insane, and largt. 
manufacturing interests ; of Holmesburgh, JQ 
mis. to the N. N. E., made up of pleasant coon-

try residences ; of Bybcrry, still fiirtliei" to the 
N. Jf. eastward : ofNicetowii, with its revolu- 
tionary lueinorios ; of Bustleton, with its 
print-works ; of Kensington, nearly N., with 
.Its din of muchineiy and clouds ot' manufac- 
turing smoke ; of lliclimond, N. E. on the 
Pelaware, with its immense coal and ship 
jards ; of Germantown, 6 mis. N. N. W., with 
lis palatial country seats, spacious lawns, 
yicturesque surroundings, select society and 
Iiistoric associations; of Chestnut Hill, still 
furtner to the N. N. W., delightfully situated 
Oil a commandmg eminence; of Schuylkill 
falls, to the N. W.; of Manayunk on the left 
bunk of the Schuylkill, 7 mis. N. W., with its 
mammoth cotton and woollen mills, furnaces, 
foundries and paper mills, and its millions of 
invested capital and annual products ; of 
lioxborough, in the same neighborhood; of 
West Philadelphia, the city's self in minia- 
ture, on the W. side of the Schuylkill, with its 
wealth, refinement and active growth ; of 
Mantua, which is but West Philadelphia as it 
abuts on the park to the N.; of Hamilton and 
Haddington, pretty little bustling corners in 
the W. part of the great municipality, etc., 
etc. 

The streets of Philadelphia running N. and 
S. are naiued W. from the Delaware "First," 
'Second," "Third," etc., and the dwellings 
and stores on the same are numbered N. and S. 
from jMarket Street. The numbers on the E. 
and W. streets begin at the Delaware and run 
W. The heavy commercial street is JVIarket, 
running W. from the Delaware the entire 
width of the city. The fashionable business 
streets are Chestnut, AValnut and Arch, run- 
ning parallel with Market, and Eighth Street, 
running N. and S. The other active business 
streets, for general retail and wholesale trade, 
are chiefiy those running X. and S. Third 
Street, and Chestnut and Walnut in the 
vicinity of Third, are the monetary foci of 
the city. Locust, Walnut, Chestnut and 
Arch, W. of the business centers, are lined 
with fashionable retiidences. Broad Street, 
the central avenue running N. and S., car- 
ries its immense width (11.3 feet) through- 
out the entire length of the city, 23 inls, 
A great part of it is built up with stately 
mansions, presenting fine architectural ef- 
fects, and as it is the design of the municipal- 
ity to protect it against the inroads of busi- 
nesSj to pave and otherwise care for it, it is 
destined to become a boulevard as renowned 
far splendor and fashion as it is now for its 
unprecedented length and majestic breadth. 

Outside of the central business area of 10 
sq. mis. Philadelphia, though laid out, is not 
densely built. It is preeminently the city of 
airy, comfortable, home-like residences. There 
are' few abodes of squalor and want. The ar- 
tisan finds a home as well as the millionaire. 
It numbers more dwellings than any city in 
the country, having, in 1870, 112,366, with an 
average of 6.01 persons in each, while New 
York had but 64,0-14 dwellings with 14.72 per- 
sons in each. Fortius reason, aided no little 
by police regulations and climatic causes, it 
Is the healthiest city in the country, as proven 
by a comparison of health records. 

From its position the city is intimately as- 
sociated with the early history of the coun- 
try. In no vague sense it has been the scene 
of most of those political departures which 
constituted the steps from Colonial severalty 
and dependencj'to Republican unity and in- 
dependence. Her merchants were among the 
earliest to pledge themselves not to sell Brit- 
ish goods until the Stamp Act was abolished. 
In 1774 the first Congress in America assem- 
bled in Carpenter Hall, S. of Chestnut and 
between Third and Fourth Streets. The con- 
vention that framed and promulgated the 
Constitution of the United 8tates sat in this 



city in 1787. It was the recogirized capital of 
the country from 1774 to 1797. Here was estab. 
lished the first United States Bank, in July, 
1780, and here the first Mint for National Coin- 
age, in 1792. But the event of greatest mo- 
ment in the history of the city and country 
was the session of the convention that fram- 
ed the Declaration of Independence, which 
nominally ended July 4th, 1776, with the pub- 
lic reading of the immortal instrument from 
a stand in the State House Square, by Capt. 
John Hoplcins. The venerable building on 
Chestnut Street, between Fifth and Sixth, in 
which the convention sat, is a substantial 
two-story structure of unpretending propor- 
tions. It was built 1729-34. Its E. hall is the 
Hall of the Declaration. Its general appear- 
ance is the same as in 1776, and it has ever been 
a patriotic desire to preserve its interior ar- 
rangement and appointments so as to truth- 
fully reflect the surroundings of the " Fathers 
of our Country " during their momentous 
session. The presence of this shrine, with 
its sacred associations, together with the ac- 
cessibility and fitness of the city for the occa- 
sion, gave it early prominence as the proper 
site for the national ceremonies in honor of 
the hundredth year of the Republic. 

Philadelphia has many massive and thor- 
oughly appointed mercantile and manu- 
facturing buildings. The banking and sav- 
ings institutions, the insurance and com- 
mercial establishments, are built on a scale 
of extent and beauty, and with a complete- 
ness of adaptation scarcely found elsewhere. 
The county buildings, containing the halLg 
of justice and offices of record and police, 
are, with one or two additions, identical 
with the Old State House above mentioned. 
The foundations of a new, costly and capa- 
cious structure, ample for every purpose, 
are being laid at the intersection of Broad 
and Market Streets. The national build- 
ings in the city are substantial, but hardly 
in keeping with liberal taste nor commen- 
surate with the wants of a populous and 
progressive metropolis. The Custom House, 
on Chestnut Street, is of coarse marble and 
was designed as a specimen of Doric archi- 
tecture. It was finished in 1824, at a cost 
of $500,000. The Mint, on Chestnut Street, 
at the corner of Juniper, is of marble, after 
Ionic models. It was begun in 1829,:.and 
cost $200,000. The Navy Yard, on the Dela- 
ware, is a series of store-houses, machine 
shops and floating docks, well adapted for 
the building and equipping of war vessels. 
The Xaval Asylum, on the Schi^ylkill, founded 
in 1835, 380 ft. long, and built of white marble, 
is a tasteful and comfortable home for the 
" soldiers of the sea." The Post-offlee, on 
Chestnut Street, is to be superseded by a new 
and magnificent building extending on the 
W. side of Ninth Street from Market to 
Chestnut, and fronting all three streets. Ed- 
ucational and charitable institutions are 
numerous in the city. Besides many and. 
beautiful high school and grammar school 
buildings, connected with the municipal 
school system, there are colleges devoted to 
general culture and the learned professions. 
Of these, Girard College, founded by Stephen 
Girard, and built at an expense of $2,000,000, 
is a superb solid marble structure, or series 
of three distinct structures, of the Corinthian 
order, and constitutes the most liberal and 
unique charity in the country. The Univer- 
sity of Pennsylvania, an outgrowtli of the 
old Franklin Academy and Free School, has 
recently erected stately buildings W. of the 
Schuylkill, and entered upon a new era of 
usefulness. The Academy of Natural Sciences, 
on Broad Street, is a capacious but illy artaxit- 
ed building, which, having long since failed 
to accommodate the largest collection of

specimens and the cotnpletest library of its 
kind in ttie country, is about to be deserted 
for the new and commodious structure ap- 
proaching completion on Race Street. The 
different schools of medicine sustain elabor- 
ately appointed colleges, giving to the city a 
world-wide reputation as a focus of medical 
and surgical culture. 

In 1871 the city had 380 public schools, 55 
gi-ammar schools, 1 high school and 1 normal 
school. The number of male teachers was 80, 
and of female teachers, 1,459. The average at- 
tendance was 71,556. There was expended the 
large sum of $1,197,902 for school purposes; 
f3'27,219 were for teachers' salaries. 

Tlie public or circulating libraries of the 
city are over 20 in number. Of these, the oldest 
and largest is the Philadelphia Library, 125 
South Fifth Street, founded in 1731, and con- 
taining nearly 100,000 volumes. The Mer- 
cantile Library occupies a fine structure on 
Tenth Street. It was founded in 1821, and 
numbers 90,000 volumes. The library of the 
Atheneum, on Sixth Street, contains 30,000 
volumes ; the Friends' Library, on Arch 
Street, 10,000 volumes ; tlie Law l/ibrary Asso- 
ciation, 8,000 volumes ; the Library of the 
American Philosophical Association, 31,000 
volumes; Library of the Franklin Institute, 
11,000 volumes ; the exhaustive Library of the 
Academy of Natural Sciences, 31,000 volumes, 
and the bound and unbound collections of the 
Pennsylvania Historical Society, 19,000 vol- 
umes. In accordance with a very liberal be- 
quest by the late Dr. Hush, a new library 
building is about to bo erected on Broad 
Street, which, as designed by its founder, 
will be surpassingly extensive and grand. 

There are over 100 hosijitals and asylums in 
the city, whose extent and munificence are 
unequaled. Neai'ly every denomination has 
endowed its hospital or home, nobly second- 
ing the municipality and the state in the 
alleviation of suffering and care of the aged 
and unfortunate. The County Alms-house, 
a massive structure \V. of the Schuylkill, is 
capable of accommodating 000 patients. The 
Pennsylvania Insane Hospital, also in West 
Philadelphia, is 430 feet long, surrounded 
by a park of 114 acres. The prison build- 
ings, Fastern Penitentiary, on Coates Street, 
County (Moyamensing) "Prison, on Passy- 
unk Eoad, and House of Refuge, on Parish 
Street, are imposing punitive and reforma- 
tory structures, unsurpassed for adaptation. 
The beneficial and social life of the city is 
architecturally represented by many costly 
buildings and.richlv adorned halls. Among 
these the Masonic Temple, on Broad Street, 
built of solid granite at a cost of $3,000,000, 
and in a Norman composite style of architec- 
ture, is perhaps the most massive, imposing 
and adequate structure of the Order in the 
world. The Union League House, on South 
Broad Street, is a tasteful brown-stone struc- 
tui-e, with rich external and internal finish, 
and of equal magnificence is the marble palace 
of the Reform Club, on Chestnut Street. 
Tliere are nearly 400 churches in the city ; and 
whether considered as to number, extent of 
accommodation or artistic effect, Philadel- 
phia is unsurpassed by any other city in 
this respect. Each denomination is repre- 
sented by a proportionate number of edifices, 
many of them monuments of tlie purest 
architecture on the continent, while the older 
and less pretentious often eml)alin the rarest 
histories and richest associations of proprieta- 
ry and revolutionary times. The dramatic and 
flue arts are represented by several schools 
and places of amusement. The Academj' of 
Music, on South Broad Street, is the noblest 
Structure of its kind in the city, and in inter- 
nal arrangement and seating capacity is not 
excelled by any building, similarly devoted, in 



the country. The leading hotels of the city 
are the Continental, Girard, La Pierre, Colon, 
nade. Merchants, American, St. Cloud, Bing- 
ham House, etc. The two former stand op- 
posite each other on Chestnut Street, and are 
commanding structures, M'ith complete ap- 
pointments and large capacity. The La Pierre, 
on South Broad, and the Colonnade, on Chest- 
nut Street, though less capacious, are of even 
more effective architecture and equally 
suited for first-class accommodations. 

For municipal and general political pui'- 
poses the city is divided into 29 wards, 4 con- 
gressional, 4 state senatorial and 18 legislative 
districts. The government follows the usual 
formula of Republics, its executive power 
being represented by a Mayor, its legislative 
by Select and Common Council, its judicial oy 
criminal, civil and appeal courts. The police 
force is necessarily very large, numbering 
nearly 1,000 men. Many of the graver munici- 
pal functions are performed by boards, com- 
missions and trusts, so constructed as to be 
presumably beyond partisan influence. The 
responsibility of most of these agencies is stu- 
pendous, and their management on the whole 
liberal and satisfactory. 

The city is bountifully supplied, with pure 
water from the Delaware and Schu.ylkill ; the 
works on the former river being located at 
Kensington, pumping in September, 1873, 4,- 
747,193 gallons ; on the latter river at Fair- 
mount, pumping for the same month 26,642,541 
gallons; at Spring Garden, pumping 4,196,200 
gallons; at Belmont, pumping 6,073,920 gal- 
lons ; and at Roxborough, pumping 2,587,637 
gallons ; a total for the month of 44,248,521 gal- 
lons, all of which is received in settling reser- 
voirs and thence distributed to the city. 

Philadelphia contains a large nurnber of 
beautiful cemeteries, which occupy retired 
and picturesque spots and where nature has 
been lavishly adorned by art. Of these Laurel 
Hill, fronting on the E. bank of the Schuylkill, 
is one of the oldest and finest in the country. 
Its surface is highly undulating, and its 
adornments of monument, parterre, walk and 
evergreen, rich, classical and lovely. Scarcely 
inferior in saeretl embellishment are the cem- 
eteries of Glenwood, on Ridge Road ; Mount 
Vernon, opposite Laurel Hill ; Monument 
Cemetery, on North Broad Street ; Odd Fel- 
lows Cemetery, on Islington Lane; Wood- 
land's Cemetery, on Darby Road; Mt. Moriah 
Cemeterj', near it ; and the many church 
burying grounds interspersed through the 
city. 

Beside the many attractive squares through- 
out the city, which the forethought of Penn 
made secure against commercial intrusion, 
Philadelphia boasts the largest park in the 
country. It is situated on both sides of the 
Schujdkill, and contains 3,000 acres. It is 
under the control of a commission, who have 
laid out and ornamented its eastern portion 
with great care, and so as to take everj' ad- 
vantage of the topographic variety and won- 
derful natural attractions of the surface. The 
West Park, by far the largest portion, is not 
so profusely ornamented as yet, but its drives 
are more extensive and its natural scenery 
even more varied and picturesque. In its 
midst, contiguous to the line of two railroads, 
is the chosen scene of the centennial celebra- 
tion, than which no spot could have been 
more wisely selected. 

Owing to the immense distances to be tra- 
versed in the city by merchants and artis^ins, 
it has elaborated, in obedience to public need, 
an extensive system of street railway car- 
riage, which has sujiplanted, almost entirely, 
the old methods of travel. These vehicles 
render contiguous the most remote parts of 
the city. The outward commercial connec- 
tions of the city bring it into intimate com.

Of its rivers, the Schuj'lkill is spanned by 
many elegant bridges, and by the course of the

ing the opposite and neighboring towns 
readily accessible, while its course, with suffi- 
cient depth to float the largest vessel and 
width to accommodate the commerce of the

Pittsburgh is one of the chief commercial 
cities of the country. The Ohio R. is navi- 
gable to this point for light draft steamers, 
which run to all ports of the Ohio and Mis- 
sissippi Rs. The coal trade amounts to over 
$10,000,000 annually, and the petroleum trade 
amounted, from 1863 to 1868, to $56,000,000. 
Iron and coal are extensively mined in the 
surrounding country, and support immense 
foundries and manufacturing establishments. 
These are located partly within the city 
limits and partly in the suburbs. It is esti- 
mated that the manufactories of iron, glass, 
steel, copper, oil, wood, cotton and brass 
alone, situated in the citj' and neighborhood, 
have a combined length of 35 mis. In iron 
and steel it is the great market of the 
country. There are over 30 rolling-mills in 
in the city, 60 iron foundries, 6 steel works, 
numerous nail works, bloomeries, etc. One 
of the chief establishments (the American 
Iron Works of Jones & Lauglilin) covers 17 
acres of ground, employs 2,500 hands, and 
contains 25 steam-engines of 2,750 horse- 
power. 

The glass houses are also numerous and ex- 
tensive, and employ several thousand hands. 
According to the census of 1370, Alleghany 
CO. produced manufactureil articles to the 
value of $88,789,414, and nearly all of this fell 
to the share of Pittsburgh and its immediate 
surroundings. The principal products of the 
CO. were as follows: Agricultural implements, 
in 12 establishments, $487,770 ; brass founding,

The schools of the city bear a deservedly 
high reputation throughout the Union, and 
are liberally endowed. Among the higher 
institutions are to be mentioned the Western 
Theological Seminarj' of the Presbyterian 
Church, founded in 1825 ; the Theological Sem- 
inary of the United Presbyterian Church, es- 
tablished in 1826 ; the Alleghany Theological 
Institute, organized in 1840 by the Reformed 
Presbyterian Church. The public schools

Platte,or Nebraska, River, the largest trib- 
utary of the Missouri ; is formed by the con- 
fluence of the North and South Platte Rs., in 
Lincoln co., Nebr. The North Platte rises in 
the North Park of Colo. Ter., near Long's 
Peak, and flows N. into Wyo. Ter., where it 
gradually turns eastward, emerging from the 
Rocky Mts. through a depression between the 
Black Hills and Rattlesnake Hills. Its prin- 
cipal tributaries are the Sweet Water and 
Laramie Rs. The South Platte rises in the 
South Park of Colo. Ter., flows N. N. E. to St. 
Vrain's Fort, and then turns E. through "Weld 
CO., Colo. Ter. It receives numerous tributa- 
ries from the Rocky Mts., tlie largest of which 
is Lodge Pole Cr. From the junction of these 
two branches, the Platte pursues an easterly 
course through Nebr., and empties into the 
Missouri at Plattsmouth. Its southern aiflu- 
ents are insignificant ; but from the N. it re- 
ceives the Loup Fork and the Elk Horn Rs., 
which drain a large portion of the state. The 
Platte is a wiile and sliallow stream, which is 
navigable during the highest stages of water, 
but during the dry season exhibits a series of 
shallow pools. Its total length from the 
source of the North Platte downward is esti- 
mated at over 900 mis.

RIIODE IS£.AN», one of 'the thirteen 

original states of the Union, and, as regards 

territorial extent, the smallest ; lies between 

41° IS' and 42° 3' N. hit., and 71^ S' and 71° 53' W. 

long., and has an extreme length from N. to S. 

of 47!^ mis., and extreme width from E. to W. 

of 40 mis. It is bounded on the N. and E. by 

Mass., on the W. by Conn., and on the S. by the 

Atlantic Ocean. It has an area of 1,306 sq. mis., 

or 835,840 acres. 



The eastern part of the state is deeply in- 
dented by Narraganset B., wliich extends 30 • 
mis. inland, has a very irregular outline, and 
Includes several islands, of which Canoni- 
cut. Prudence and Aquetneck, or Rhode Island 
jiroper, from which the state has received its 
name, are the largest. Block Island, which 
lies off the southern coast, about 10 mis. dis- 
tant, also belongs to the state. A long penin- 
sula extends into the northern part of Narra- 
ganset B., and divides it into two bi'anches, the* 
eastern of which is called Mount Hope B., and 
receives the estuary of the Taunton R. 

Surface. — R. I. has a broken and hilly siirfaco, 
but includes no elevations that might be termed 
mountains. The highest points are Mt. Hope, 
near Bristol, the Woonsocket Hills, in tho 
northern part of the state, and Hopkins HUl, 
in the central part. 

Rivers. — The largest stream of tlie state is the 
Pawtucket R., which empties into the western 
branch of Narraganset B., and is called above 
the falls, at the town of Pawtucket, the Black- 
stone R. The Pawcatuck R. is formed by the 
confluence of Wood and Charles Rs., which 
rise in the southern part of the state, forms 
part of the boundary between R. I. and Conn., 
and empties into Long Island Sound. The 
Pawtuxct R. rises in tlie northern part of the 
state, has a south-easterly course, and after 
forming the boundary between Kent and Provi- 
dence cos. empties Into Narraganset B. Al- 
though these rivers are not large or volumin- 
ous, they have considerable fall, and afford 
extensive water-power. 

There are numerous small lakes and ponds in 
R. I., wliich greatly add to the picturesqueness 
of the scenery. 

The Climate o{ R. I. resembles that of south- 
ern Mass. and eastern Conn. The mean annual 
temperature varies from 49° to 51°, and the 
amount of rain and snow-fall from 40 inches 
ill the eastern part to 44 inches in the western. 

Population. — R. I. was settled in 1036 at Provi- 
dence, by Roger Williams, who had been ban- 
ished from Mass. for his political and religious 
opinions. In 1038 a settlement at Newport was 
made by Wm. Coddington and others, and in 
1042 at Warwick, by a party under Samuel Gro- 
ton. These three settlements were united bj'a 
charter in 1043, under the name of the '' Provi- 
dence Plantations." 

In 1790 R. I. had a population of 68,825 ; in 1800, 
69,122 ; in 1810, 70,931 ; in 1820, 83,015 ; in 1830, 97,190 ; 
in 1840, 108,830 ; in 1850, 147,.545 ; in 1800, 174,020 and 
in 1870, 217,353 ; of whom 212.219 were white, 4,980 
colored, and 154 Indians. The number of per- 
sons born in the United States was 161,957, in- 
clusive of 122,626 natives of the state; and of 
pei'sons born in toreign countries, 5.5,390, inclu- 
sive of 10,242 natives of British America, 1,200 
of Germany, 9,288 of England, 31,534 of Ireland 
and 1,947 of Scotland. 

The pop. of 10 years of age and over numbered 
173,751, of whom 82,824 were engaged in all classes 
of occupations, viz.: 11,780 in agriculture, 19,679 
in professional and personal services, 10,108 in 
traile and transportation and 47,007 in manufac- 
tures and meehanical and mining industries. 

Mining. — The mineral resources of R. I. are 
but of moderate importance. Anthracite coal 
of middling quality is found in Newi)ort co., and 
about 10,000 tons of it are annually taken from 
the ground. Iron ore occurs in Various parts 
of tlie state, and building materials, as lime- 
stone, sand-stone, marble and serpentine are 
quite abundant. 

Agriculture. — Tho soil of R.I. is moderately 
productive, but in many parts too rough and 
difficult for cultivation. "The most fertile sec- 
tions are on the islands of Narraganset B. The 
total number of farms in 1870 was 5,368, which 
contained 289,030 acres of cultivated land (or 
34.6 per cent, of the area of the state), 169.399 
acres of woodland and 43,879 of uncultivated

the states of tli£ Union ; but in proportion to the 
number of inhabitants or area of territory it is 
unrivaled. The total value of manufactured 
products in 1870 was $111,418,354, or somewhat 
less than one-seventh of the value of those of 
N. Y. and Pa. But, if equally divided, every 
inhabitant of R. I. would receive $513, of N. Y. 
$179 and of Pa. $202.

principal lines are the New York, Providence 
& Boston R. R., of which 13 mis. are within the 
state, and the Providence, Warren & Bristol R.ll. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. — The assessed 
value of all property, according to the last cen- 
sus, was $-244,278,854 ($132,876,,581 for real estate 
and $111,402,273 for personal property). The 
true or estimated value, however, was $296,965,-

gether with the annual state appropriation, 
amounts to $90,000. The remainder of the sums 
required for school purposes Is obtained from 
local taxation. The population of school age 



(from 5 to 16 years) numbered, in 1870, 28,702, of 
whom 26,912 were enrolled in the public schools. 
In the 412 school districts of the state instruc- 
tion was given by 711 teachers. The total re- 
ceipts for school purposes amounted to $463,041. 
A State Normal School was established in 
1871 at Providence. The foremost of the higher 
educational institutions Is Brown University 
(Baptist), which was founded in 1764 at Provi- 
dence, and had, in 1873, 204 students and 13 in- 
structors ; Lapliani Institute, a scliool of the

the city are picturesque, the most notable 
J'eatuie being the Genesee Falls, tlie first of 
which is a little N. of the center of the city 
limits. Here the river makes a perpendicular 
plunge of 95 feet, then glides olf in a deep and 
lapid current lluough a slate-walled ravine 
more than 100 feet deep, studded with flouring 
mills. At the end of tliis ravine it takes its 
second plunge of iO feet, and further on a 
third of 75 feet, the entire fall in a distance of 
3 nils, being -'.iU feet. Hut the natural sur- 
roundings are not more beautiful antl interest- 
ing than the artitieial. The nursery trade of 
liochester, which for variety and extent is 
uurivaleil in the world, has made of the su- 
burban districts a succession of beautiful 
nursery farms and gardens, clothed with 
every variety of fruit and ornamental tree, 
plant or shrub found in the latitude, while 
countless hot-liouses, lawns, walks and pav- 
terres reflect a richness of verdure, a glory of 
bloom and a profusion of sweetness which 
resemble enchantment. The material value 
of this interest alone is estiniated at $.2,500,000 
annually. The unlimited water-power of the 
river, whose existence has contributed so 
largely to the growth and prosi)erity of the 
city, has been voy largely utilized by flour- 
ing mills and general manufactories. The 
former interest is simply immense— larger 
perhaps than that of any city in the Union, 
exceeding 1,000,000 of bljls. annually, and a 
consumption of over 5,000,000 bush, of grain. 
The other manufactures consist of boots and 
shoes, clothing, cabinet-ware, edge tools, iron 
castings, paper, machinery, leather, cotton 
and woollen goods, etc. The city is in water 
communication with Lake Ontario, via the 
Genesee li., up which boats ascend to Carth- 
age, '2 mis. N., with the K. and W. part of the 
state by means of the Erie Canal, which here 
crosses tlie river on a noble stone aqueduct 
800 feet long, and with the central and S. W. 
parts of the state and the Alleghany B. by 
means of the Genesee Valley Canal. Besides 
this it occupies the most conspicuous position 
betvveen Albany antl the lakes upon the line 
of the New York Central & Hudson Kiver 11. 
U., and is the S. termi)ius of Charlotte Branch 
of saute, the AV. terminus of Auburn & Sus- 
pension Bridge Division, E. terminus of Buf- 
falo & Suspension 15ridge Division, and N. 
terminus of liochester Division of Erie 11. K. 
Kochester was settled in 181'2 by David Ro- 
chester and others, was incorporated in 1817, 
chartered as a city in 1834, and had in 1820 a

R., California & Oregon R. R. and California 
Pacific R. R. It is the second largest, and in 
many respects the most interesting, city in the 
state. Near it the first discovery of gold was 
made, and it was foundetl and built by miners 
■with reference to their temporary conve- 
nience, but without any breadth of plan or 
view to liealth, beauty or comfort. Such, 
however, was its earlj^ importance as a base 
of supplies and commercial center, that it 
withstood several inundations occasioned Ijy 
the river breaking through treacherous levees, 
and arose more than once from almost total de- 
struction to new vigor. The Avhole site has 
been placed beyond danger by systematically 
raising it some ten feet above its' former level. 
It is surrounded by a fine agricultural region, 
and railroad connections makeittheeenterof 
a livel.y trade. It is also in water communica- 
tion via the Sacramento R. with San Fran- 
cisco and the ocean. The State House is an 
imposing building. The city has many beau- 
tiful private and public buildings, churches, 
schools, etc. Here are located the western

♦Saint Panl, city, port of entry, co. seat of 
Ramsey co. and capital of Minn.; is situated 
on the X. bank of the Mississippi R., 6 mis. 
below the mouth of the Minnesota R,, 9 
mis. from the Falls of Saint Anthony, and 
practically at the head of navigation, 2,082 
mis. from the Gulf of Mexico. It is the 
largest city in the state, and one of the oldest 
(Battlements of the N.W., the first recorded visit 
being that of Hennepin, a Jesuit missionary, 
in 1680. Eighty -six years afterward Jonathan 
Carver made a treaty there with the Indians 
near Carver's Cave, The claim upon which 



the present city is located was bought by 
Pierre Parent in 1837, and sold in 1839. In 1840 
the first church was built (Saint Paul's), from 
which the city was named. The city is pecu- 
liarly situated on three plains, the first level 
with the river forming the levee ; the second, 
upon which the main portion is erected, is a 
plateau whose edges toward the river are 
bluffs of white sand and limestone ; the third. 
is the prairie level above and beyond the hills, 
which surround the main portions of the city 
like an ampitheatre. Upon these hills and 
beyond are many line private residences. 
Owing to the geological formation, abundance 
of building material is found on tlie spot. It 
consists of a soft limestone, which harde i3 
on exposure. Though a young city, it has 
several fine clmrchbs, hotels, schools and 
places of amusement. The State Capitol oc- 
cupies a fine position on high ground, but is a 
rather unattractive brick structure. There 
are two asylums in the city, a hospital, and. 
near it is the State Reform School. In the 
neighborhood are pleasant drives, numerous 
lakes and places of resort and interest. The 
city is an important commercial center. Be- 
sides having its connections by the river, it is 
the N, W. terminus of the Saint Paul & Chica- 
go R. R., the N. terminus of the Milwaukee & 
Saint Paul R. R., the N, E, terminus of the 
Saint Paul & Sioux City R, R., the E, termin- 
us of the Saint Paul & Pacific R. R., the S, E. 
terminus of the Saint Paul Branch of the 
Northern Pacific R. R., the S. terminus of the 
Lake Superior & Mississippi R. R., and W. 
terminus of the West AVisconsin R. R. Its 
manufactories are extensive, and consist of 
planing mills, brass and iron foundries, flour- 
ing mills, boot and shoe factories, etc. In 
1838 it contained only three white inhabitants; 
in 1848 about 50; in 1849, 500; in 1850, l,ir2 ; iu 
1860, 10,401 ; in 1870, 20,030. There are 21 news- 
papers published in the city, the principal of 
which are the " Press," " Pioneer " and " Dis- 
patch" (dailies and weeklies), and the "North- 
western Chronicle," " Volksblatt" (German), 
and " Monitorew " (Swedish), weeklies.

San Bernardino, co. in Cal., S. E. part. Area 
about 15,700 sq. nils. Pop., 3,988 ; in 1800, 5,5,51. 
It borders in the E. on the Colorado R. By 
far the larger portion is a dreary desert, with 
dry lakes, few small streams, losing them- 
selves in the barren soil, and an exceedingly 
scanty vegetation of cacti and yuccas. Seve- 
ral ranges of lofty mountains enter into it 
from Inyo CO., and" ti'averse its northern ex- 
tremity. Between the Pinament and Amar- 
gosa ranges lies the dismal Death Valley, 
whose surface is 150 feet lower than the level 
of the sea. This valley is 100 mis. long and 
20 mis. wide, and in its center there is a .salt 
marsh, with a thin layer of soil covering an 
unknown depth of soft gray mud, into which 
sinks the Amargosa R. The heat of the val- 
ley is fearful during the summer, and even 
in' winter the thermometer rises to 90° Fahr. 
The Mojave R. flows through the center of 
tlie CO., and is lost in a dry sink. The S. W. 
portion is traversed by some of the Coast 
Ranges and contains its finest agricultural 
lands. Here is the beautiful San Bernardino 
Valley, extending between the San Bernardi.

San Uicg'O, co. in Cal., S. part. Area, 13,280 sq. 
mis. Pop., 4,951 ; in 1860, 4,324. It extends from 
the Colorado R. on the E. to the Pacific Ocean 
on the W., and comprises the most southern 
part of Cal., bordering on the peninsula of the 
same name, which belongs to Mexico. In re- 
gard to surface the co. may be diviiled into 
three sections. The western is diversified by 
gentle undulations, low hills and level plains, 
contains much good farming lainl ancl has a 
warm, semi-tropical climate. The central 
section is moiftitainous, being traversed by 
the San Bernardino, San Jacinto and others of 
the Coast Ranges, which mostly have a S. E. 
and N. W. direction, and is the best agricul- 
tural district of the co. The vine, orange, 
Avheat and barley are among its productions. 
The eastern section belongs to the great Colo- 
rado Desert, is sandy, destitute of water, and 
has an excessively hot climate. At Fort Yuma, 
on the Colorado R., opposite the mouth of the 
Gila R., the thermometer sometimes reaches 
122° Pahr. in the shade. The streams .are in- 
considerable, rise in the Coast Ranges and 
mostly empty into the Pacific, as the Margari- 
ta R., San Luis Rey R., San Bernardo R. and 
San Diego R. Cattle, sheep, wool, hides and 
tallow are the principal products. San Diego is

*San Francisco, city, port of entry and co. 
seat of San Francisco co., Cal.; occupies the 
northern extremity of the peninsula which 
partly separates San Francisco B. from the 
ocean, and is washed on the N. by the strait 
known as the "Golden Gate." It lies in 37° 
47' 35" N. lat., and 122° 20' 15' W. long., and in- 
cludes an area of 37}^ sq. mis., or 24,000 acres. 
The city is regularly laid out with streets inter- 
secting each other at right angles. Montgom- 
ery Street, running N. and S., is the principal 
business avenue ; California Street contains 
the banking and insurance buildings ; on 
Front Street are the wholesale and import 
houses, and Kearney, Washington, Sacra- 
mento, Second and Third streets are the retail 
business thoroughfares. The most elegant 
residences are in Stockton, Powell, Mason, 
Taylor, Folsom and Second streets, and the 
Chinese quarters are in Sacramento Street, 
between Kearney and Dupont streets. Tele- 
gi'aph Hill, in the north end of the citj-, about 
290 feet high, affords a magnitieent panorama 
over the bay, the opposite shore and the dis- 
tant range which terminates with the conical 
peak of Mount Diablo. The great sea-wall, 
now in course of construction, will extend 
along the water front of the city on the bay 
(8,340 feet), and will be 100 feet wide at the 
bottom. The top will be on a level with the 
city grade. 

The principal public buildings of San Fran- 
cisco are the following : the United States 
Custom House, containing also the Post-office, 
on the corner of Batter3' and Washington 
streets ; the United States Branch Mint, on 
Commercial Street, in which two-thirds of all 
the gold and silver coin made in the country 
is coined ; the new Mint, now ready for the 
machinery, will be a far more imposing 
Structure; the United States Treasury, on 



Montgomery Street ; the City Hall, extending 
from Washington to Merchant streets, which 
will soon be superseded by a new building on 
i''erba Buena Park ; the United States Marine 
Hospital, which has, on an average, about 106 
patients, and receives over 1,000 in the course 
of the year, and the Merchants' Exchange 
Building, on Commercial Street, one of the 
largest and most impressive structures of the 
city. San Francisco has over 70 churches and 
chapels, many of which are fine buildings ; as 
the St. Mary's Cathedral (Roman Catholic), 
St. Patrick's Church (Roman Catholic), Cal- 
vary Presbyterian Church, St. John's Presby- 
terian Church, Mariner's Church, etc. 

San Francisco has as yet no large pai-k, ag 
some of our eastern cities ; but several pleas- 
ant gardens and public squares. Woodward's 
Gardens, in the southern part of the city, 
cover 6 acres of ground, and contain collec- 
tions of ornamental plants, oranges, a hot- 
house for tropical plants, an aquarium, a 
menagerie, a large hall for concerts and a 
skating rink. Portsmouth Square, commonly 
called the " Plaza," is on Kearney Street, be- 
tween Washington and Clay streets. Among 
the cemeteries may be mentioned Laurel 
Hill Cemetery, 2^4 mis. W. of Montgomery 
Street, near Lone Hill ; Masonic Cemetery,

The first settlement on the B. of San Fran- 
cisco was made in 1776, by two Catholic mis- 
sionaries of the Franciscan Order, 2 mis. S. 
of the present location of the city, and was 
named the Mission Dolores. Soon afterward 
a few houses were built where the city now 
stands, and received the name of " Yerba 
Buena," or "good herb," from a plant abun- 
dantly growing here, which was used as a 
substitute for Chinese tea. In 1845 this set- 
tlement had 150 inhabitants. The discovery 
of the gold placers, on Sacramento and Ameri- 
can Rs., gave the first impulse to the marvel- 
ous growth of the city. In 1847 the name 
" Y'erba Buena" was changed to San Francis- 
co, and the city was laid out in streets and 
building lots ; in the following year the popu- 
lation was 1,000; in 1850, 25,000; in 1880, 56,802 : 
in 1870, 149,473, making it the 10th city in size 
in the Union. The last number includes 75,- 
754 natives of the United States, and 73,719

13,602 in Germany, 5,166 in England, 25,8<34 In 
Ireland, 1,687 in "Scotland and 1,622 in Italy. 
The number of Chinese was 12,022, and of col- 
ored persons, 1,330. 

The number of persons engaged in all classes 
of occupations, in 1870, was 68,352, of whom 
1,000 are engaged in agriculture, 27,760 in per- 
sonal and professional services (including 110 
clergymen, 114 journalists, 433 lawyers, 377 
physicians and surgeons, 719 teachers, 6,800 
domestic servants and 8,457 laborers); 17,553 
in trade and transportation, and 22,034 in 
manufactures, mining and mechanical indus- 
tries (including 497 bakers, 634 blacksmiths, 
1,551 boot and shoemakers, 441 masons, 226

either side of handsomely laid out and plant- 
ed parks or squares from 1]4 to 3 acres in ex-

the cities of Fla.; and the S. W. terminus of 
the Savannah & Charleston R. R. Besides 
these, the river is navigable as far as Augusta, 
a distance of 230 mis. Important as are these 
communications, the chief commercial advan- 
tage of the city is its accessible and safe, har- 
bor. The commerce has increased largely 
within the last decade. The foreign and coast- 
wise exports for 1860 aggregated $17,798,922, 
while for 1870 they aggregated $58,000,000. Dur-

place was Lackawanna. The city has had a 
rapid growth, having sprung from an unim- 
portant village in 1850 to its present com- 
manding proportions. Its importance is due 
to its railway facilities, its location amid 
the anthracite coal fields of N. E. Pa., and 
to the iron deposits iu the neighborhood — a 
combination of resources seldom met with in 
other localities. The trade of the city in coal 
and mining supplies is immense, and its manu- 
facturing interests are correspondingly large, 
embracing iron in its various forms, nia- 
chiuery and general products. The city was 
incorporated in 1866, is handsomely laid out 
with broad streets and contains many beauti- 
ful private i-esidencesand stores, with various 
public buildings, among which are 24 churches 
and 4 academies. Pop., in 1860, 9,209 ; in 1870,

Shasta Butte, or Mount Shasta, is one of the 
highest peaks in our country, and lies in Sis- 
kiyou co.,Cal.,at the junction of the Sierra 
Nevada and Cascade >lts. It reaches an alti- 
tude of 14,444 feet, and is at all seasons of the 
year covered with snow for 4,000 to 5,000 feet 
below its summit. Up to an altitude of 7,000 
feet the flanks of this mountain ai-e covered 
with heavy forests of sugar and pitch pine. 
At 8,000 feet forest trees disappear altogether, 
and a few stunted shrubs struggle for ex- 
52 



istence to the height of about 9,000 feet, 
above which and below the snow line there is 
a belt almost destitute of vegetation. At aa 
elevation of 13,240 feet thex-e is a rudely circu- 
lar and nearly level space, evidently the 
bottom of an ancient crater, one side of 
which having been broken away, a portion of 
its rim still remains, forming the summit of 
the mountain. On this level area there are a 
number of orifices, from which steam, and 
sulphurous gases constantly escape. The 
outline of Mt. Shasta, from whatever side 
viewed, presents a nearly regular cone, with, 
slopes of from 2S to 31 degrees inclination. 

Shasta, co. in Cal.; N. part. Area, 4,135 oq. 
mis. Pop., 4,173 ; in 1860, 4,360. The surface i« 
greatly diversified by mountains, plains and 
valley's. The main range of the Sierra Ne- 
vada traverses the E. part, and numerous 
spurs branch from it in a westerly direction. 
The higliest peaks are Lassen's, Crater, Ma- 
gee ancl Burney's. A chain of the Coast 
Ranges forms the W. boundary of the co., 
and the central part includes the most north- 
erly section of the low plain which is tra- 
versed by the Sacramento R. This stream 
flows from N. to S., and receives numerous 
tributaries, the largest of which are Pitt R., 
Cow Cr., Battle Cr., Clear Cr. and Cottonwood 
Cr. Many of the valleys contain extensive 
bottom-lands, while others are devoid of allu- 
vial deposits. The climate of the valleys is 
very mild, and not only the hardier fruits of 
the North but the fig, pomegranate, almond, 
and other semi-tropical plants thrive in the 
open air. Tobacco, wheat, barley and oats 
are the principal products. Some gold is ob- 
tained by hydraulic mining. Shasta is the 
CO. seat. Agr. productions in 1870 : Wheat, 
29,569 bush.; rye, 143 bush.; Indian-corn, 2,455

Sonoma, co. iuCal., W. part. Area, 1,344 sq, 
mis. Pop., 19,819; in 1860, 11,867. It borders 
on the Pacific Ocean, and is traversed by 
several of the Coast Ranges, which are cov- 
ered by fine forests of pitcli, sugar and yellow 
pine, red fir, and the torreya, yielding large 
quantities of excellent timber. Pine Mt. and 
Sulphur Pk., the loftiest summits in the CO., 
lie near the N. E. corner. The Geysers, a 
number of hot springs, are situated in a deep 
gorge near Sulphur Pk., about 50 mis. from 
Petaluma, and known as the Pluton Caiion. 
Their water contains iron, sulphur, salts of 
lime, ammonia, magnesia and potash, and is 
emitted from orifices in the ground, varying 
in width from an incli to several feet in di- 
ameter. The two most interesting of these 
springs are the Witches'Cauldron and Steam- 
boat Spring. From the latter a column of 
steam is ejected to a height of 300 feet. The 
valleys of the principal rivers — the Russian, 
Petaluma, Sonoma and Santa Rosa— contain 
land of great fertility, and produce large 
crops of Indian-corn, wheat, potatoes, vege- 
tables and fruits. The valley of the Sonoma 
Cr. opens upon the B. of San Pablo, and be- 
ing protected from the sea-winds by a range 
of mountains, is particularly adapted to gar- 
dening and vine-growing. Orchards, vine-, 
yards and gardens cover it throughout its- 
whole extent. The finest varieties of grape; 
are produced, and the Avines compare-favora- 
bly with those of France and Germany. San- 
ta Rosa is the CO. seat. Agr. productions ia^

SOUTH CAROLINA, one of the 13 original 
states of the Union ; is bounded on the N. by N. 
C, on the S. W. by Ga., from which it is sepa- 
rated by the Savannah R., and on the 8. E. by 
the Atlantic Ocean. It has the shape of a tn- 



SOUTH CAROLINA.

SOUTH CAROLINA. 



angle, is 240 mis. long from E. to W. and 210 mis. 
•wide flora N. lo S., and extends from 32° to 35° 
K. lat., and 78° 35' to 83° 30' W. long. The area 
is 34,000 sq. mis., or 21,760,000 acres. 

Hur/ace.— The N. \V. corner of the state is 
monntainous, being occupied by the spurs and 
the outlying ranges of the Blue Ridge, the main 
crest of which forms for a short distance the 
boundary. From the base of the mountains 
tbe surface gently slopes down toward the sea- 
shore. About one-half of the state is rolling 
and undulating, and corresponds to the Middle 
Country of Va. The S. E. hall belongs to the 
Tide-water Region, is low, nearly level and di- 
versified by extensive swamps, which extend 
along nearly all the water-courses. A line, 
drawn from Hamburgh on the Savannah K. to 
Athens on the Saluda II., above Columbia, and 
to Chesterfield near the northern boundary, 
roughly marks the limit between the Tide- 
water and Middle countries. 

Jiivers. — S. C. is well watered by a number of 
streams, which all flow more or less directly 
from the N. W. to the S. E. The largest river 
Bystem lying chiefly within the limits of the 
state is tliat of the Santee. This stream is form- 
ed by the junction of the Wateree R., the upper 
course of which is called Catawba; with the 
Congaree, which is formed by Saluda and Broad 
Rs. The eastern part of the state is drained by 
the Waccamaw 11., which is formed by the Great 
and Little Pedee Rs., and empties intoWinyah 
B. The Cooper and Ashlej' Rs. empty into 
Charleston B., and inclose the peninsula on 
•which the city of Charleston lies. The Edisto 
and Combahee Rs. empty into St. Helena Sound, 
and the Coosawhatcliie R.into Port Royal Sound. 
The Savannah R., which is formed by the con- 
fluence of the Keowee and Tugaloo Rs., flows 
along the south-western boundary of the state, 
separating it froni Ga. Between its mouth and 
St. Helena Sound a broad belt of low lagoon is- 
lands extends, comprising Hilton Head Island, 
Port Royal Island, Ladies' Island, St. Helena Is- 
land, Prentiss Island and Chaplin's Island. 

The Climate, though warm, is greatly tempered 
in the eastern parts by the vicinity of the ocean, 
and in the western by the elevation above the 
sea. The isothermal line of 04° passes through 
the state from the northern end of its sea-coast 
to Hamburgh on the Savannali R. From this 
line to the S. the mean annual temperature in- 
creases to 67°, and decreases to the N. and N. W. 
to 00° in the hilly country, and attains the mini- 
mum of .'50° in the mountainous district. The 
rain-fall is greatest in the central portions of 
the state, where it amounts to 44, and even 52, 
inches per annum. In the western part it is 
but little over 40 inches. 

The Vegetation is sub-tropical. The palmetto, 
the smallest of the American palms, grows 
abundantly in the lower portions of the state — 
along the sea-coast and on the river bottoms. 
The yucca, with its long and sharply pointed 
leaves, the beautiful magnolia, the live oak and 
many other evergreen trees and shrubs are also 
here of frequent occurrence, and the woods are 
characterized by the long festoons of the gray 
Spanish moss (Tillandsia usnoides). In the 
central parts pine forests predominate and are 
estimated to cover about 6,000,000 acres. 

Population.— S. C. had, in 1790, •249,073 inhabi- 
tants; in 1800, 345,.591; in 1810,415,115; iu 18^20, 
602,741; in 1830,581,185; in 1840, 594,398; iu 1850, 
668,507; in 1860, 703,708, and in 1870, 705,600. This 
number includes *289,667 whites, 391,650 colored 
persons, and 124 Indians. 

In regard to nativity the population was, in 
1870, distributed as follows: 697,5;j2i)ersons were 
natives of the United States, inehulnig 678,708 
natives of the state ; 3,'2,^4 of Va., 8,2S2 of N. C. 
and '2.884 of tia.; and only 8,074 persons were 
lUitives of foreign countries, including 2,754 na- 
tives of Germany, 617 of England, and 3,262 of 
Ireland. 



In aVi classes of occupations were engaged 
263,301 persons, viz.: 206,604 in agriculture, 34,383 
in personal and professional services, 8,470 iu 
trade and transportation, and 13,794 in manu- 
factures, meclianical and mining industries. 

Agriculture. — The soil of S. C. is thrcMghout 
of great fertility. The swamps, coveiing an 
estimated area of about 1% millions of acres, 
when drained produce extraordinary crops. 
The pine lands are well adapted to the cultiva- 
tion of fruits and vegetables, and the remain- 
der of the state to the cultivation of cotton, to- 
bacco, Indian-corn, etc. The low sandy islands 
along the coast ai-e very productive, and yield 
the highly prized "long staple" or " sea-islaad 
cotton." Rice is extensively grown on tta 
swamps. 

In 1870 there were 3,010,.539 acres of improved 
land, 6,443,851 woodland, and 2,650,890 Other un- 
improved land in farms. The total number of 
farms was 51,889 ; the cash value of which was 
$44,808,763. The estimated value of all farm pro- 
ductions, including additions to stock and im- 
provements, was *41,909,402. There were pro- 
duced: spring wheat, 317,700 bush.; winter 
wheat, 465,910 bush.; rye, 36,165 bush.; Indian- 
corn, 7,614,207 bush.; oats, 613,593 bush.; Irish 
pot's, 83.252bush.; sweet pot's, 1,342,165 bush.; 
peas and beans, 460,378 bush.; cotton, 2-24,90<} 
bales ; cane sugar, 1,055 hhds.; wine, 13, 179 gals.; 
molasses, 436,882 "gals, and sorghum molasses, 
183,585 gals.; rice, 32,304,825 lbs.; tobacco, 345,805 
lbs.; wool,156,3141bs.; butter, 1,461,980 lbs.; hay, 
10.665 tons. The mild climate renders easy tlie 
raising of horses, mules and cattle. 

In 1870 the live stock had a value of $12,443,510, 
and comprised 44,105 horses, 41,327 mules and 
asses, 98,693 milch cows, 17,685 working oxen, 
132,9-25 other cattle, 124,594 sheep, and 395,999 
swine. 

Minerals aud Mining.— S. C. possesses in its 
mineral treasures a source of much wealth, but 
thus far they are not developed to anj' consid- 
erable extent. Gold is found in the silt of many 
of the rivers, and the Dorn Mines in Abbeville 
and Edgefield districts have, heretofore, yield- 
ded in some years over $'200,000. Excellent iron 
ores in large deposits occur in Union, Spartan- 
burgh, Greenville and Pickens districts. The 
other metals found in the state are copper, lead, 
manganese and bismuth. Limestone abounds 
in Lawrence and Spartanburgh districts, and 
granite of the finest grain, equal to gray mar- 
ble, is frequent in the middle and upper dis- 
tricts. Materials for pottery, especially porce- 
lain clay, are found in many portions of the 
state. The finest porcelain clays often lie in 
rich strata upon the surface, ready to the hand- 
of the manufacturer. Between Aiken and 
Graniteville the beds are in many ca.ses 60 feet 
thick. Phosphate marls, which furnish in a 
portable form an inexhaustible supply of min- 
eral manures, are among the most miportant 
resources of the state. They are ccuiposed of 
the remains of marine animals, and occupy a 
large portion of the lower districts of the state, 
extending from the Santee to the Savannah Rs. 
When excavated they are treated with sulpu- 
ric acid, and may then be applied to the soil, 
whose fertility they increase from 100 to 200 per 
cent. Large quantities have already been used 
in the state with the most satisfactory results, 
and are shipped to Europe, where the demand 
for this valuable article is steadily increasing. 
Previous to July, 187'2, 206,305 tons of phospho- 
rites, representing a value of $1,4.50,000, had 
been exported, while the consumption in the 
state had amounted to 36,110 tons, of $-250,000 in 
■value. 

Manufactures.— \n 1870 the state had 1,584 
manufacturing establishments, using 210 steam- 
engines of 4, .537 horse-power, and 700 water- 
wheels of 10,395 horse-power. The number of 
hands employed was 8,141 ; the capital invested, 
$5,400,418, and the wages paid amounted to

SOUTH COLUMBIA. 



$1,543,715. The materials used had a value of 
$5,855,736, and the commodities produced of 
|9,a58,?)Sl. The latter included cotton goods of 
$l,5'29,9o7 in value; flour and meal, $3,180,247; 
sawiHl lumber, $1,197,005; tar and turpentine, 
$774,077, and fertilizers (phosphate marls), $425,- 
000. 

Commerce and Railroads. — S. C. has three ports 
of entry, viz.: Charleston, Beaufort and George- 
town. "Their imports from foreign countries, 
during the year ended June 30, 1872, had a value 
of $742,8-20, and their domestic exports to for- 
eign countries of $11,156,468, of which $10,183,350 
tvere for raw cotton. The commercial fleet of 
the state comprised 146 sailing vessels of 3,935 
loiis, and 23 steam vessels of 2,671 tons, 

Tiie railroad net of the state had a total mile- 
age in 1872 of 1,290, against 1,007 in 1866 ; 848 in 
1856, and 204 in 1846. Tlie principal lines are the 
Charlotte, Columl)ia & Augusta R. R. (195 mis.); 
the Greenville & Columbia R. R. (197Kmls-); 
the Northeastern R. R., from Charleston to 
Florence (102 mis.); the Savannah & Charleston 
R. K. (104 mis.); tlie South Carolina R. R., from 
Charleston to Augusta, with branches from 
Branchville to Columbia, and from Kingsville 
to Camden (242 mis.); the Spartanburgh & Union 
R. 11. (68 mis.), and the Cheraw & Darlington R. 
R. 40 mis.). 

Wealth., Taxation and Indebtedness. — The to- 
tal taxable property had an assessed value in 
1870 of $183,913,337 ; ($64,418,662 for personal and 
$119,494,675 for real estate,) against $489,319,128 in 
1860. Tlie true, or estimated, value of the same, 
however, was $208,146,989 in 1870 against $548,137,- 
754 in 1860. The state debt amounted to $7,665,- 
909, but has since then very largely increased. 
The debts of the counties, cities and towns 
amounted to $5,409,320. The taxes, not national, 
■were $2,767,675, of which $1,321,837 were for state, 
$575,005 for county, and $870,833 for township 
and other communal purposes. 

Education. — According to the present school 
law, which was passed in 1872, the school ago is 
from 6 to 16 years. The number of youths of 
this age in 1872 was 209,376, of whom but 76,322 
attended tlie public schools of the state. The 
latter numbered 1,913 (286 more than in the pre- 
ceding j'ear), in which instruction was given 
by 2,185 teachers. The foremost of the higher 
educational institutions is the University of 
South Carolina, which was founded in 1801, and 
attended in 1872 by 88 students. The establish- 
ment of a State Normal School is provided for 
by the new constitution, but up to 1870 there 
existed only a "Normal Class" in the Avery 
Institute at Charleston. Other higher schools 
_are the College of Charleston ; the Furman 
'University (Baptist), at Greenville ; the Claflin 
University (Methodist), at Orangeburgh; the 
"WofTard College ( Methodist ), at Spartan- 
burgh; the Newberry College (Lutheran), at 
Walhalla ; the Theological Seminary (Presby- 
terian), and the Lutheran Theological Semin- 
ary, both at Colnmbia, and the Southern Bap- 
tist Theological Seminary, at Greenville. 

The state possesses several benevolent and 
penal institutions. The Penitentiary is at Col- 
umbia, and had, in 1872, 219 convicts. In the 
Lunatic Asylum, at Columbia, there were 284 

Eatients, and in the Institution for the Deaf, 
lumb and Blind, at Cedar Springs, 42 patients. 
The State Orphan Asylum is at Charleston, and 
received in 1872 a state appropriation of $15,000. 
The Press, according to the census, comprised, 
in 1870, 55 publications, with a circulation of 80,- 
900. Of these, 5 were dailies, 4 tri-weeklies, 
42 weeklies, 3 monthlies and 1 quarterly. 

Government. — The present constitution of S. C. 
was framed by a convention, silting from Jan- 
uarj' 14 to March 17, 1868, and was ratified by 
the people in April. It provides that every 
male citizen of the United States, of the age of 
21 years and over, who was a resident of the 
state at the time of the adoption of the consti- 



tution, or who hereafter has resided in the state 
one year, and in the county in which he olfers to 
vote 60 days next preceding an election, is en- 
titled to vote. 

The legislative power is vested in two distinct 
branches, the Senate and House of Repre- 
sentatives, and both together are styled the 
" General Assembly of the State of Soi;th Caro- 
Una." The House of Representatives is com- 
posed of 124 members, chosen by ballot every 
second year by the citizens of the state. The 
Senate is composed of one member for each 
county. The county of Charleston is represent- 
ed by two senators. 

The chief executive authority Is vested in a 
Governor, who is elected for two years. The 
qualified voters of the state elect also a Comp- 
troller General and Treasurer and a Secretary 
of State, who hold their offices for four years. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, in two Circuit Courts, viz.; a Court of 
Common Pleas, having civil jurisdiction, and a 
Court of General Sessions, with criminal juris- 
diction only; in Probate Courts and injustices 
of the Peace. The Supreme Court consists of a 
Chief .Justice and two Associate Justices, any 
two of whom constitute a quorum. It has ap- 
pellate jurisdiction only in cases of chancery, 
and constitutes a Court for the CorrecticNi of 
Errors of Law. It is held once in each year at 
the seat of government, and at such other 
places as the General Assembly may direct. 

S. C. is divided into the following 32 cos., for- 
merly called districts: Abbeville, Aiken, An- 
derson, Barnwell, Beaufort, Charleston, Ches- 
ter, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Colleton, Darling- 
ton, Edgefield, Fairfield, Georgetown, Green- 
ville, Horry, Kershaw, Lancaster, Laurens, 
Lexington, Marion, Marlborough, Newberry, 
Oconee, Orangeburgh, Pickens, Richland, Spar- 
tanburgh, Sumter, Union, AVilliamsburgh and 
York. 

The state capital is Columbia, 9,228 inhabi- 
tants ; the other principal cities are Charleston, 
48,956 inhabitants, and Greenville, 2,756 inhabi- 
tants. The largest post-villages are George- 
town, Newberry, Beaufort, Pickensville and, 
Spartanburgh.

drained by the St. Lawrence R.; has an area 
of about 32,000 sq. mis., is 627 feet above the 
sea level or 49 feet above Lakes Huron and 
Michigan. Its greatest depth probably ex- 
ceeds 1,000 feet. Its outlet into Lake Huron 
is called the St. Mary's R. The lake is bound- 
ed on the N. and E. by British America and 
on the W. and S. by Minn., Wis. and Mich. 
Tlie northern shore is rocky and presents a 
succession of bluffs of from 300 to 1,500 feet. 
The southern shore is mostly low and sandj% 
though interrupted at various places by bold, 
rocky blull's. The largest islands are Isle Roy- 
ale, near the north-western shore, and the 
Apostle Islands, belonging to Wis. The larg- 
est afiluent of the lake is the St. Louis R., of 
Minn., which may be considered as the true 
source-stream of the St. Lawrence.

TENNESSEE. 



Surface.— Tenn. has a general inclination from 
the K. to the W., but is considerably diversified 
py mountain chains, table-lands, valleys and 
low plains. Seven well-defined natural divi- 
sions may be distinguished: I. The broad belt 
of the Unaka Chain in the E. 2. The Valley of 
East Tennessee. 3. The Cumberland Plateau. 
4. The Highland Rim ; and 5. The Central Basin 
both in the middle portion of the state. 6. The 
Plateau of West Tennessee, and 7. The Missis- 
Bippi Bottoms. 

-The Unuka Chain, the summit crest of which 
divides Tenn. from N. C, forms a belt of paral- 
lel rulges, trending N. E. and S. W. Though 
continuous lengthwise, it is intersected by tlie 
deep and rocky cuts of the tributaries of the 
Holston and Tennessee Rs., which divide it 
into links abutting end to end. The links or 
ridges ot the great chain are known by diflfer- 
ent local names. The highest range in the N. 
IS called the Stone Mt., and two lower ridges 
W. of this are called respectively the Iron Mt. 
and Holston Mt. Stone Mt. terminates abrupt- 
ly near the S. E. corner of Carter cc, with the 
massive Roan Mt., 6.306 feet above the sea level 
In Wuslnngton co. the Unaka Range consists of 
the Bald Mts., supporting peaks of 5,550 feet in 
height, BulTalo Mt. and Rich Mt.; in Green co 
of the Big Butte Range and Paint Mt., both 
terminating on the French Broad R.; in Cocke 
CO., ot the Great Smoky Mt., one of the most 
imposing i-anges in the state, and the Chilhowee 
Range. The entire section between the Little 
Tennessee and Hiawassee Rs. is locally known 
as the Unaka Chain proper. In Polk co., S. of 
the Ocoee R., the range is called Frog Mt., and 
the outlying ridge in McMinn and Polk co3. 
btarr Mt. ' 

The Unaka Range occupies about one-half of 
the most eastern tier of cos. in the state. It is 
covered with forests except on the most ex- 
posed summits, from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above the 
sea, which are destitute of trees and commonly 
called " Balds" or " Bald Spots." In ascending 
a mountain with a "Bald," the tourist soon 
leaves the heavy forests on the slope below ; 
the oaks, beeches and other trees begin to di- 
minish in size until he finds himself passing 
through low groves of old-looking dwarfs, often 
but a tew inches high. On reaching the "Bald," 
the groves disappear and the treeless summit 
IS spread out as a great rolling meadow, alive 
with stock of all kinds, feeding and fattening' 
on the rich herbage. 

The Valley of East Tennessee extends from 
the base ot the Unaka Range to the steep 
escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau and oc- 
cupies the entire width of the state from the 
^^. E. to the b. W., joining the great valley of 
>a. in the K. and of Ga. and Ala. in the S. It 
is but a portion of the long trough which ex- 
tends from the Hudson R. in N. Y. to the Coosa 
and Black Warrior Rs. in Ala., and within 
lenn. occupies an area of 9,200 sq. mis. This 
valley is closely furrowed by parallel ridges 
and valleys trending from the K. E. to the S 
W., as Powell's Mt. in Hancock and Claiborne 
COS., the Bays Mt. Group in Hawkins and 
Greene cos., the Clinch Mt. in Hawkins and 
Granger cos., etc. The valley gradually inclines 
to the S. W. as indicated by the course of the 
Tennessee, Holston and Clinch Rs. At Kinjrs- 
ton on the Holston R. it is 1,218 feet, and at Cal- 
houn on the Hiawassee R. 648 feet above tide- 
water. 

The wide-spreading Cumberland Plateau ex- 
tenils across the state and borders the vallev 
just described, on the W. Its eastern border is 
a nearly direct line, while the western is irreo-u- 
larly scalloped and notched by deep coves, sepa- 
rated trom each other by long spurs jutting to 
the VV . The average width is about 70 mis. and 
Its area 5,100 sq. mis. The top of this plateau, 
though comparatively flat, is diversified by low 
ridges and shallow valleys, while the margin 



consists everyM'here of sandstone cliffs and pi-e 
cipices. The mean elevation above the sea li 
very nearly 2,000 feet, or about 900 feet abcve 
the East Tennessee Valley. 

Middle Tenn., from the foot of the Cumber- 
land Plateau in the E. to the Tennessee R. in 
tlie^. includes two natural divisions, the 
Highland Rim and the Basin. It may be com- 
pared to a shallow plate with a flat rim. The 
Basin, occupying the very center of the state, 
possesses in a high degree the elements of ferl 
tility and agricultural wealth. It has the form 
of an ellipse, and is on all sides surrounded by 
the Highland Rim, which attains an avera°'e ele- 
vation above the sea of more than 1,000 feet 
Large portions of the rim consist of " barrens ♦' 
with a thin soil, deficient in calcareous matter ; 
iT,i4® ?,"'^'? ,'^'■6 tertile, though not compara- 
ble to the rich alluvions of the Basin. Asino-u- 
lar feature of the rim is the "sink-holes" with 
which the surface is indented. They are hor)- 
per-shaped cavities, from 10 to 100 yards in 
diameter. Their presentee indicates under- 
ground streams and caverns. 

Western Tenn., from the fertile valley of the 
lower course of the Tennessee R. to the Ijottom- 
lands of the Mississippi R., is a great table-land 
8,8o0sq. mis. large, and in the mean fi-om500 to 
600 feet above the sea level. The western es- 
carpmcnt forms a line of "bluffs," which at 
several points between Memphis and Fulton 
abut on the bank of the Mississippi R., but "en! 
erally rise at the distance of several miles from 
It, leaving a belt of rich alluvial bottom-lands 
which IS lower than the river at high-water 
and hence subject to inundation. ' 

Thus It will be seen that the state presents 
every variety of surface structure and scenery 
—mountains of imposing grandeur in the E 
broad low plains of the greatest fertility in the 
Valley of East Tennessee and the Central Ba- 
sin, undulating plateaus of varying height and 
but moderate productiveness in various narts 

and lastly inexhaustible bottom-lands alono- the 
great water-courses. ° 

Jiivers.—The rivers of Tenn. are, without ex- 
ception, direct or indirect tributaries of the 
Mississippi R. The Obion, Forketl Deer Hat- 
chie and Loosahatchee Rs. drain the western 
tiible-land and join the part of the Mississippi 
R. which forms the boundary of the state. The 
Cumberland R. enters Jackson co. from Kv 
flows through the Highland Rim and the Basin 
ot Middle iennessee, and leaves the state in 
St^ewart co. Its largest Iiranches are Caney 
iork and Stone's R. The Tennessee R., which 
has given its name to the state, flows through 
the eastern part in a southerly direction, and 
after describing a great curve in Ala. traverses 
the western part from the S. to the N. It is 
lorrned by the confluence, near Kingston, of 
the Holston and the Clinch Rs. These lar^e 
streamsenter Tenn. from Va., like the Powefls 
R., an affluent of the Clinch R. The Holston 
and the Tennessee Rs. receive a number of tri- 
butaries from the E., which rise* in the Blue 
Ridge of N. C. and burst through deep cuts or 
gaps of the Unaka Range. They are the Wa 
tauga, the French Broad, with tlie Nollichuc- 
ky, and Big Pigeon ; the Little Tennessee and 
the Hiawassee, with the Ocoee. The Hi"- Eme 
ry and Sequatchee Rs. enter the Tennessee R;" 
trom the Cumberland Plateau. The affluents 
ot the lower course of the Tennessee R are the 
Hint, Elk, Shoal and Duck Rs. The last named 
is the largest, has a westerly course and drains 
the Central Basin. 

Climale.— Tenn. is not subject to great ex- 
tremes of climate. The winter is usually so 
mild that herbage is green and cattle can graze 
with but little interruption from cold and snow 
during all the months. Many shrubs, which in 
the northern states lose their foliage, retain it ' 
here the year round. The mean annual temper- 
ature along the parallel passing through the 



TENNESSEE.

TEN'i>ESSEE. 



centei- of the state is not far from 57° in the Val- 
ley of East Tennessee, 58° in Middle and 59° 5' or 
60° in West Tennessee. This difference of tem- 
perature is partly due to the rtitference in ele- 
vatiftn. The mean temperature of summer is 
in Knoxville, 73° 6' ; in Lebanon, 75° 9' ; in Nash- 
ville, 77° 3', and in Memphis, 78° 1'. The temper- 
ature during winter rarely falls below zero. 
The lowest degree reported is 13° 8' below zero 
in Lebanon, observed in January, 1852. The an- 
nual rain-fall in inches is at Knoxville, WA ; at 
Lebanon, 4&%; at Nashville, 55, and at Glen- 
wood 44. This is less than the states farther 
south receive, but in general, the supply of 
moisture is amply sufficient for the purposes 
of farming. Temporary droughts are not in- 
frequent during the summer season. 

Pop Mio/zon.— The earliest settlements within 
the limits of the state were made in 1768 by 
emigrants from N. C. In 1790 the population

According to nativity the population was dis- 
tributed as follows : Born in the United States 
were 1,239.204, including 1,027,627 natives of the 
state ; 43,397 of Va. and W. Va., 13.854 of S. C,

1,835 of Ind., 2,451 of 111., 18,021 of Ga., 2,977 of 
Ark. and 20,217 of Ala. In foreign countries were 
born 19.316 persons, viz.: in British America, 
587 ; in Germany, 4,-539 ; in England, 2,085 and in 
Ireland, 8,048. 

In all classes of occupations there were enga- 
ged 367,987 persons (out of 890,872 persons over 10 
yearsof age) viz.: in agriculture, 267,020 ; in pro- 
fessional and personal services, 54,396; in trade 
and transportation, 17,510, and in manufactures 
and mechanical and mining industries, 29,061. 

Mining and Minerals.— Tho most valuable 
miiua-al treasures of the state are coal and iron. 
The coal measures form the top of the Cumber- 
land Plateau and are co-extensive with it in 
area. In fact, the two go together, and the pla- 
teau owes its existence and preservation to the 
hard, weatlnn-resisting rocks of the coal meas- 
ures. Almost everywliere seams of coal may 
be seen cropping out near the top of the escarp- 
ment of the plateau. The hard rocks of the 
coal-formation, when elevated and approxi- 
mately horizontal, are plateau making. Had 
they been otherwise than hard, or had they 
beeii common limestones or shales, rocks that 
air, water and frost can with comparative ease 
disintegrate and dissolve, the tal)le-land region 
would have been reduced long since to the gen- 
eral level of the valleys ami plains around it. 
The coal of Tenn. is bituminous and varies con- 
siderably in qualitv and value; but the quan- 
tity is such that it inay be said to be inexhaust- 
ible. The variety anil the amount of iron ore 
in Tenn., its exce"llent quality, its favorable con- 
ditions for the economical manufacture of iron, 
make the state one of the best iron-producing 
regions in tlije country. Limonite, hematite and 
magnetite iron ores are found along the western 
ridges of the Unaka Mts.; while beds of dye- 
stone ores skirt the eastern base of the Cum- 
berland Plateau. The western iron region oc- 
cupifes a belt of the highlands along the lower 
Tennessee and a part of its valley. To this re- 

fion belong the Cumberland Iron Works, in 
tewart co., which embrace over 111 sq. mis. of 
territory, with numerous exposures of excel- 
lent ore, chif fly peroxyd. Copper is found only 
In the Ducktown District, forming the S. E. 
corner of the state. Ores of lea<l antl zinc occur 
at numerous points in East and Jliddle Tenn., 
but most frequently in unimportant quantities. 
Small amounts of gold have been found in S. E. 
Tenn. The varieties of marble which are quar- 
ried in various parts of the state arc famous for 



their beauty. Black and dark blue marble, 
sometimes "having white reticulating veins, 
occurs in the extreme eastern cos. ; reddish 
variegated marble in Henry co., and white fog- 
siliferous marble near Knoxville. Other mine- 
ral productions are salt, nitre, barytes, mill 
stones and hydraulic limestones. 

Mineral springs are very numerous. Sulphur 
springs abound in all parts of the state, for ex- 
ample near Nashville. The summer retreats 
of the Cumberland Plateau, like Beersheba and. 
Bon Air, supply chalybeate waters. The Mont- 
vale Springs, in Blount co., contain epsom salts. 

^flrric?<J/i/re.— The most productive portions of 
Tenn. are the basin, in the middle part of the 
state, the valleys of the eastern part and the 
bottom-lands along the Mississippi and other 
streams. Indian-corn, tobacco and cotton are 
the staple productions. According to the census 
report, there were, in 1870, 118,141 farms, of which 
42,862 were from 20 to 50 acres, 27,778 from 50 
to 100 acres. 19,987 from 10 to 20 acres, 18,806 
from 100 to 500 acres, etc. The improved land 
amounted to 6,843,278 acres (or 2.3.45 per cent, of 
the area of the state), the woodland to 10,771,396 
acies, and the other unimproved land in farms 
to 1,966,540. The cash value of farms was !«!218,- 
74.3,747, and of farming implements, !|'*.199,487. 
The estimated value of all farm productions, 
includingadditions to stock and improvements, 
was $86,472,847. They comprised 374,400 bush, of 
spring wheat, 5,813,516 bush, winter wheat, 41,- 
343.614 bush. Indian-corn, 4,513,315 bush, oats, 
1,124,337 bush. Irish pot's, 1,20.5,683 bush, sweet 
pot's, 75,068 bush, barley, 181,842 bales cotton, 
3,399 lbs. rice, 21,465,452 lbs. tobacco, 1,389,762 lbs. 
wool, 80,930 lbs. flax, 134,968 lbs. maple sugar, 
9,571,069 lbs. butter, 3,629 gals, cane molasses, 
1,254,701 gals, sorghum molasses and 116,582 tons 
of hay. 

The live stock had a value of $5.5,084,075, and 
comprised 247,254 horses, 102,983 mules and asses, 
24.3,197 milch cows, 63,970 working oxen, 336,529 
other cattle, 826,783 sheep and 1,828,690 swine. 

Manvfaclxires. — Tenn. possesses all the .advan- 
tages to make it a busy manufacturing state, 
such as abundant and cheap coal, immense 
water-power, especially in the eastern valleys, 
and the most varied natural resources. In 1870 
it had 5,317 manufacturing estai)lishments, 
(against 2.572 in 1860), iising 732 steam-engines 
of 18,467 porse-power, and 1,340 water-wlieels of 
19,514 horse-power. There Avere employed 19,- 
412 hands, who received wages to the amount 
of $5,390,630. The capital invested was $15,.59,5,- 
295, and the materials used had a value of $19,6.57,- 
027, and the products turned out goods, of $34,- 
362,636 in value, a sum which is exceeded by 
that of 19 other states. The principal products 
of industry, with their values, were as follows: 
boots and shoes, $665,.522 ; carriages and wagons, 
$93S,(i47 ; cotton goods, $906,.570 ; flour and meal, 
$10,767,388; iron and iron manufactures, $2,089,- 
932; tanned leather, $921,497; curried leather, 
$922,641 ; sawed lumber, $3,390,687 ; saddlery and 
harness, $6.50,071, etc. 

Commerce and Railroads. — Tenn. has no sea 
coast, and hence its direct foreign commerce la 
inconsiderable. Mempiiis and Naslnille, on 
the Mississippi. R., are the only customs ttis- 
tricts, and had, in the fiscal jear ended June 
30, 1872, 62 steam vessels of 12,700 tons burden. 
The railroatls of tlie state had a length of 112 
mis. in l!>51, of 1,253 mis. in 1861 and of l,.520mls. 
In 1871. The principal lines are the East Ten- 
nessee, Virginia & Georgia R. R.. which inter- 
sects tiie valley of E. Tenn from N. E. to S. W., 
and is 200 mis. long; the Nashville & Chatta- 
nooga R. R. (173 mis.); the Nashville, Mem])hi3 
& St. Louis R. R., from Nashville to Hickman, 
Ky. (1721^ mis.) ; the Tennessee & Pacific R. li., 
from Nashville to Knoxville (180 mis., of which 
31 mis. are- in operation); the Winchester ft

S. \V. by Mexico, on the S. E. by the Gulf of 
Mexico, on the E. by Ark. and La., on the N. 
by Ind. Ter. and on the W. by New Mex. Ter. 
The Rio Grande separates It from Mexico, the 
Red River from Ind. Ter. and Ark., and the Sa-

5J' to 3lJ° aO' N. lat., and from 93° 31' to 106° 43' W. 
long. , and has an area of 274,356 sq. mis. or 175,- 
587,840 acres. 

Surface. — Tex. includes every variety of sur- 
face : low plains, rolling pi-airies, fertile and 
picturesque valleys, arid table-lands and lofty 
mountain ranges. The surface gently rises 
from the low gulf coast toward the W., until it 
culminates in the mountains between the Rio 
Grande and Pecos Rs. The coast is everywhere 
low and sandy. It resembles that of the other 
southern states in being indented by numerous 
lagoon bays, which are cut off from the sea by 
elongated and narrow peninsulas and islands. 
Such are Galveston B., with Bolivar Peninsula 
and Galveston Island ; Matagor(hi B., with the 
peninsula of the same name ; Espiritu Santo 
B., with jMatagorda Island ; Aransas B., with 
its extension, Copano B. and St. .Joseph Island ; 
Corpus Christi B., with Mustang Island, and 
lastly the long Laguna de la Madre with Padre 
Island. 

The low coast belt extends inland from 40 to 
60 mis., and is but scantily covered with vege- 
tation, which almost exclusively consists of 
Impenetrable thickets, commonly called "chap- 
parals," of opuntia cactuses and various thornv 
shrubs. Tor a 150 mis. farther inland there fol- 
lows the prairie belt, which has a rolling sur- 
face, a highly productive soil, and is diversified 
by groves of live oak and deciduous trees, 
■while the streams which traverse it are lined 
"With well-timbered bottoms. Beyond the prai- 
ries the surface rises to a height of nearly 1,000 
feet, generally with abrupt slopes and bluffs ; 
and thence westward continues to ascend to 
the arid and treeless plateaus, which attain 
their greatest elevation in the Llano Estacado, 
or Staked Plain. 

The region between the Rio Grande and the 
Pecos R. is occupied by the most southerly 
chains of the Rocky Mts. and the intervening 
desert valleys. Here are the Guadalupe Mts., 
which enter Tex. from N. Mex. Ter.; the broad 
range of the Apache Mts., itself consisting of 
several parallel chains and crests ; the Hueco 
Mts., Eagle Mts., Sierra Blanca and others as 
yet but imperfectly explored. The elevation 
of the following places indicates the general 
slope of the country : Goliad, 50 feet ; Gonzales, 
150 feet ; Bonham, 435 feet ; Webberville, 394 
feet ; Austin, 650 feet ; San Antonio, 600 feet ; 
Sisterdale, 1,000 feet ; Fort Inge, in Uvalde co., 
845 feet ; Fort Clark, in Kinney co., 1,000 feet ; 
Fort Davis, in Presidio co., 4,700 feet, and Fort 
Bliss, on the Rio Grande in El Paso co., 3,830 
feet. 

Rivers. — Tex. is well watered by several large 
streams, which rise on or near the western 
table-lands and intersect the state in a general 
N. W. and S. E. direction. The Red R., which 
forms part of the northern boundary, rises in 
the Llano Estacado and receives in Tex. only 
small tributaries. The Sabine R. with its afflu- 
ent, the Neches, drains the N. E. part of the 
state. Trinity R. rises In the N. part and emp- 
ties into Galveston B. The Brazos rises with 
several forks on the Llano Estacado and emp- 
ties into the Gulf of Mexico near the S. \V. end 
of Galveston B. The Colorado R. intersects the 
center of the state and empties into Matagorda 
B. The Guadalupe and San Antonio Rs. drain 
a beautiful section of Southern Tex. and unite 
a short distance from San Antonio B. The 
Nueces R. rises in Bexar Territory and empties 



into Corpus Christi B. The Rio Gi-ande flows 
along the south-western boundary and empties 
into the Gulf of Mexico S. of the Laguna de la 
Madre. It is a turbid stream and receives but 
few tributaries in Tex., of which the Pecos and 
the San Pedi'o or Devil's R. are the most im- 
portant. None of the Texan rivers are naviga- 
ble except during high water and then only for 
comparatively short distances. 

Cllmale and Vegetation. — The climate, though 
warm, is free from extremes, being tempered 
in the eastern portions of the slate by the vi- 
cinity of the ocean, and in the western by the 
elevation above the sea of the surfiice. The 
isothermal curve of 68° passes through the 
state from the mouth of the Sabine R. to that 
of the Pecos R. The mean annual temperature 
Increases thence toward the S., reaching 75° 
near Brownsville ; and decreases toward the N. 
until it falls to less than 56° in the Llano Esta- 
cado. During the summer season the prevail- 
ing winds blow from the Gulf of Mexico ; but 
from November to February northerly winds 
are more frequent than all others, and oc- 
casionally culminate in the much-dreaded 
" Northers," which generally blow for three 
days with great force and searching keenness. 
The amount of precipitation (raiii and snow) 
is on the whole not abundant. Rarely does it 
exceed 40 inches per annum in the eastern part 
of the state, and decreases in a north-westerly 
direction to 20 inches in the Pecos Valley, and 
even to 12 inches and less in the upper valley 
of the Rio Grande and on the Llano Estacado. 
Summer droughts are of frequent occurrence, 
and in the interior often aflfect the crops unfa- 
vorably. But as streams of all sizes are 
abundant, it would be comparatively easy to 
supply the needed moisture by a judicious sys- 
tem of irrigation. 

The vegetation of a region so vast in extent 
as Tex., and embracing so many widely differ- 
ent physical sections, necessarily presents great 
variety. The lower parts of the state consist 
of prairies, which during the summer droughts 
are scorched and repulsive, but during the 
spring covered with luxuriant grasses and bril- 
liantly flowering herbs. Along the sea-coast 
belt they are interspersed with "chapparals," 
and further inland with coppices and groves of 
wood, so as to resemble vast natural parks 
with plantations of trees. The bottom-lands 
along the streams are- generally well timbered 
with deciduous trees and evergreens, such as 
the live-oak, magnolia, palmetto and others. 
The northern part of the state is iiitersected by 
two belts of woodland, called the Cross Tim- 
bers, which ai-e composed of post oak and black 
jack, standing so wide apart that wagons can 
pass between them in any direction. The Low- 
er Cross Timbers extend from the Red R., in 
Grayson and Cooke cos., in a southerly direction 
to beyond the Brazos R. in McLennan co., while 
the Upper Cross Timbers, further \V., occupy 
parts of Wise, Jack, Palo Pinto, Hood and 
Erath COS. 

The arid table-lands and mountains of the 
western part of the state are covered with a 
scanty vegetation, which mostly consists of 
forms resembling those of northern Mexico, 
such as yuccas, mesquit shrubs and several 
species of cactus (the opuntia, the weird-looking 
cereus, the melocactus, the mammilaria, etc.). 
Texas abounds in wild animals. Buffalo herds 
roam in the N. W. parts of the state ; wild 
horses, or mustangs, feed on the prairies ; deer, 
wolves, black bears, foxes, peccaries, raccoons, 
hares and opossums, are met with everywhere 
in the less densely inhabited districts, and the 
cat species is represented by the puma, the ja- 
guar, the wild eat and the "lynx. Of birds are 
found the wild turkey, pheasant, quail, snipe, 
different kinds of ducks and geese, the pelican, 
heron, kingfisher and others. The streams 
abound in fish, and their lower courses in alii-

gators, turtles, etc. Kattlcsnakes, moccasins, 
and other poisonous and venomous snakes, are 
still frequent. 

Population.— Te-K. was settled at San Antonio 
(then called Bexar) inlOiMby Spaniards ; formed 
a part of Mexico until 183ii, when it issued a 
declaration of independence and formed a 
separate commonwealth. It was admitted into 
the Union in 1845. In 1850 it had a population 
of 21-2,592 ; in ISUO, of t;04,215, and in 1870, of 818,579. 
This number includes 5H4,700 whites, •253,475 col- 
ored persons, '25 Chinese, and 379 Indians. There 
were beside 320 nomadic Indians in the state. 

According to nativity the population was dis- 
tributed as follows: Natives of the United 
States, 75G,lti8, including 131,419 natives of Tex., 
M,435 of Tenn.. '22,1(55 of Va. and \V. Va., 17,717 of 
3. C, 1,S77 of Pa., '2,05'2 of Ohio, 18,655 of N. C, 
2,873 of N. Y., 18,419 of Mo., 4'2,537 of Miss., 27,'2S0 
of La.. 17,813 of Ky., 2,783 of Ind., 5,854 of 111., 
41,20i; of Ga., 1,934 oif Fla., '23,357 of Ark., and 62,- 
2'24 of Ala.; natives of foreign countries, 6'2,411, 
including 597 natives of British America, 2,232 
of France, '23,985 of Germany, 2,037 of England, 
4,031 of Ireland, and 621 of Scotland. 

Tlie population of 10 years of age and over 
numl)ered 571,075, of whom '237,1'2G were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz.: 166,753 in 
agriculture, 40,882 in professional and personal 
services, 13,012 in trade and transportation, and 
13,879 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
ing inilustries. 

Mining and Minerals.— Tc-x.. is rich in mineral 
resources, which as yet, however, await devel- 
opment. The mountain cliains in the western 
part of the state include rich veins of the pre- 
cious metals. Coal exists on the Trinity R., 200 
mis. above Galveston, near Nacogdoches on the 
Brazos R. and near Austin. Iron, salt, chalce- 
dony, jasper and excellent building materials 
(sandstones and limestones) are found in vari- 
ous parts of the state, which also contain nu- 
merous mineral springs. 

Agriculture — The eastern part of the state 
presents all the conditions of soil and climate 
favorable to farming, while the higher and 
more arid parts, with their nutritious grama 
and mcsquit grass, are well adapted to graz- 
ing and stock growing. Immense herds of 
cattle roam over the extensive prairies, and 
the business of gathering and driving beeves 
into Kans. for fattening, and thence transport- 
ing them to the eastern markets, has long been 
very remunerative. It is estimated that in 
187rnearly 900.000 cattle were thus driven out 
of Tex. The chief agricultural staples are 
cotton and corn. The tobacco which is raised 
in the eastern sections is of a superior quality. 
Along the coast are large tracts of land well 
adapted to the cultivation of rice and sugar- 
cane. In 1870 there were in Tex. 61,125 farms, 
against 4'2,891 in 1860. Of these 72 exceeded 1,000 
acres in area, 305 were from .500 to 1,000 acres, 
6,268 from 100 to 500 acres, 10,890 from 50 to 100 
acres, '24,6'20 from '20 to ,50 acres, and the remain- 
der ra(!asure under '20 acres. The farms included 
2,964,836 acres of improved land, 7,662,'294 of 
-ivoodland and 7,760,393 of unimproved land. The 
cash value of farms was i|;60,149,950 and of farm 
implements, $3,396,793. The total, estimated, 
value of farm productions, including additions 
to stock and impi-ovements, Avas $40,185,170. 
The products comprised 66,173 bush, of spring 
wheat, 348,939 bush, of winter wheat, '20,554,538 
tansli. of Indian-corn, 76'2,663 bush, of oats, '208,- 
38;j bush, of Irish pot's, 2,188,011 bush, of sweet 
pot's. 350,628 bales of cotton, 63,844 lbs. of rice, 
.59.706 lbs. of tobacco. 1,'2.51,3'28 lbs. of wool, 3,71'2,- 
747 lbs. of butter and 18,982 tons of hay. 

The live stock had a value of $.'17,425,194, and 
consisted of 424,504 horses, 61,322 mules and 
asses, 428,048 milch cows, 132,407 working oxen, 
2,933,588 other cattle, 714,351 sheep and 1,'202,445 
swine. 

Manufactures.— T\\G\:& were, in 1870, 2,399 manu- 



facturing establishments in the s,tate, against 
983 in I860, using 540 steam-engines of 11,214 
horse-power and 116 water-wheels of 1,830 horse- 
power, and employing 7,927 hands. The capital 
invested in manufacturing was $5,284,110, the 
wages paid amounted to $1,787,835, the materi- 
als consumeil had a value of $<j,'273,193. and the 
commodities produced of $11,517,302. The most 
important of these and their values were as 
follows : Flour and meal, $2,421,047 ; saw* d lum- 
ber, $1,960,851, and packed beef, $1,052,106. 

Commerce and Railroads — The exttuisive sea- 
coast of the state has numerous harbors, facili- 
tating foreign commerce, which compri se the 
following customs districts: Brazos de .^anti- 
ago. Corpus Christi, Saluria anil Texaii (in- 
cluding the port of Galveston). Tlie mer- 
chant licet comprised, on June 30, 1872, '238 sail- 
ing vessels of 4,976 tons, 41 steam vessels of 
7,956 tons and 23 unrigged vessels of 2,883 tons. 
There were imported, from foreign countries, 
goods to the value of $4,189,134, and exported to 
foreign countries, goods to the value of $13,004,- 
661, chiefly cotton. The overland commerce 
with Mexico is mostly transacted through the 
customs district of El Paso, on the Rio Grande 
R.. and represents imports of $587,072 and ex- 
ports of $161,159. 

The development of the interior commerce 
of the state depends chieflj' on the railroad 
system, as the rivers offer but temporary and 
uncertain channels of communication. The 
railroad lines had, in 1841, a length of '28 mis., 
in 1851 of 94 mis., in 1861 of 392 mis., and in 1873 
of 1,078 mis. The principal lines are the Gal- 
veston, Harrisburgh & San Antonio R. R., run- 
ning at present from Harrisburgh to Columbus, 
(85 mis.) and to be completed to San Antonio; 
the Galviiston, Houston & Henderson R. R. from 
Galveston to Houston (.50 mis.) ; the Houston 
& Texas Central R. R., from Houston to the 
Red R., where it connects with the Missouri, 
Kansas & Texas R. R. (387 mis.), with a branch 
from Henipsted to Austin (115 mis.) ; the Gulf, 
Western Texas & Pacific R. R., from Imlianola 
to Gonzales (101 mis., of which 66 mis. are in 
operation), with branches to be constructed from 
Gonzales to San Antonio (65 mis.) ; from Se- 
quin to New Braunfels (15 mis.), and from Gon- 
zales to Austin (65 mis.), and the Texas & Pa- 
cific R. R., from Shreveport, La., to San Diego, 
Cal. (1,514 mis.), of which 66 mis. are in opera- 
tion from Shreveport to Fort Worth. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. — In 1870 the assessed 
value of real estate was $97,186,568, and of per- 
sonal estate $52,546,361, making a total of $149,- 
732,9-29, while the true or estimated value of the 
two kinds of property was $159,05'2,512, against 
$365,'200,614 in 18()0. The total (not national) taxa- 
tion was $1,1'29,577, of which $589,363 were for the 
purposes of the state, $31'2,335 of the cos., and 
$-227,879 of towns, cities, etc. The total ))ublio 
debt was $1,613,907. In 1872 (September 1) the 
total state debt amounted to $3,836,277. The leg- 
islature has authorized the creation of a debt 
for railroad i^nrposes not to exceed $10,000,000 
in amount. 

Education.— The scholastic population (be- 
tween 6 and 18 years of age) numbered in 1871 
about "235,000. Until this year there was no or- 
ganized school system of any.kindin the state. 
By the law of August, 1870, each organized co. 
was constituted a school district, and the 
county courts were ex-oflicio school directors. 
They were empowered to divide their cos. into 
sub-districts, to locate school-houses, to levy an 
ad valorem tax on propertj-, not exceeding 1 
per cent., to appoint a board of school trustees 
for each co., to appoint examiners and give cer. 
tillcates to teachers. Under this law it is ex- 
pected that in due course of time the state will 
enjoy the advantages of education for its youth, 
in several cos. promising beginnings in this di- 
rection have been made. The pul)lic schools 
of Travis co., for example, opened in 1871 with

was originally two distinct settlements culled 
Port Lawrence and Vistula, which afterward 
became two business centers, known as the 
upper and lower landings. The former is ele- 
vated, and from it a fine view of the bay and 
lake is had. The city is substantially' built 
and contains many handsome residences, fine 
schools and churches and commodious public 
and business structures. The river is a wide 
estuai'y, affording one of the finest harbors oa 



the lake, A low island above the city known 
as the " Middle Ground," and containing soroe 
50 acres, has by judicious expenditure of im- 
mense sums of money been redeemed and 
covered with freight "warehouses, grain ele- 
vators (there are 9 of these in tlie citv, the 
least of which has a storage capacity of 125,000

which traverses the valley of the Great Miami 
R., and joins the Ohio at "Cincinnati, Thus a 
system of over 700 mis. in extent and traver- 
sing the richest agricultural sections of two 
states pours its treasures into the city. This

and 57 S. W. of New York. The site-of the city 
is a moderately rolling ground ; the plan is in 
the main regular ; the built-up portion is com- 
pact and handsome. The street of fashion- 
able residences is State Street, which runs 
parallel with the river. It is crossed at right 
angles by Main Street, which is the leading 
business thoroughfare, and is lined with sub- 
stantial structures. The city has flue school

vania R. R., at S. terminus of Belvidere Divi- 
sion of same and at N. terminus of Trenton 
Branch of Amboy Division of same. Two sub- 
stantial bridges sjian the river here. Its com-

flue water-power, and the manufacturing in- 
terests of the city are large and varied, em- 
braciiig paper mills, iron foundries, rolling 
mills, noui' mills, axe and wire factories, raan- 
ufactoriesl of engines and steam boilers, saw 
mills and potteries, the latter including some

*Troy, city, and co. seat of Rensselaer co,, 
N. Y., on the E. bank of the Hudson R., 6 
mis. N. of Albany and 148 N. of New York 
city. Its site at the head of navigation on 
the R. is a low alluvial plain, overlooked 
on the E. and N. by bold blufl"s, two of 
■which bear the classical names of Mt. Ida 
and Mt. Olympus. Except along the river 
front the streets are regular, and in t,l;e main 
are wide and compactly built. The river 
thoroughfares are mostly devoted to com- 
merce, while those farther back are lined 
with fashionable dwellings. The length of 
the city exceeds 3 mis. and its width 1 mle. 
Tlie architecture is as effective as that of 
much larger cities. The charitable institu- 
tions are represented by the commanding 
structui'cs of the Troy Hospital, Marshall In- 
firmary, Orphan Asylum and Warren Free 
Institute ; the scholastic institutions by the 
finely appointed Rensselaer Polytechnic In- 
stitute, the Troy Academy, the Female Semi- 
nary, St. Peter's College (Catholic), and other 
fine school structures. The church archi- 
tecture finds its best types in St. Paul's and 
St. .John's ehui-ches (Episcopal) and in the 
Old Presbyterian Church, in the Grecian style. 
The Court House is a beautiful marble build- 
ing, of Doric architecture. The hotels are 
numerous, capacious and hospitable. Semi- 
nary and Washington parks ornament differ- 
ent parts of the city. The commercial facili- 
ties of the city are excellent. By way of the 
Hudson it is "in connection with New York 
and other Atlantic ports, while by the Cham- 
plain and Erie Canals, which here first touch 
navigable waters, it is brought into contact 
with the lakes of the N. and N. W. Its rail- 
road connections are of still greater import- 
ance. It is the virtual N. terminus of the 
Hudson River R. R., the S. terminiis of the 
Troy & Boston R. R., the S. E. terminus of the 
Rensselaer & Saratoga R. R. and E. terminus 
of the Troy & Schenectady Branch of New 
York Central R. R. The city is possessed of 
ample water-power by means of the Hudson 
R. and Poestenkilland Wynantskill Crs. This 
power, amply supplemented by steam, capital 
and energy, lias given to Troj' a national, if 
not a world-wide, celebrity as "a manufactur- 
ing center. This interest covers almost the 
Avhole domain of industry, but prominent is 
the production of flour, paper, cotton and 
woollen goods, leather, beer, raw and rolled 
iron, Bessemer steel, castings, machinery, 
engines, boilers, nails, stoves, cars, brushes, 
stoneware, carpets, etc., etc., representing an 
employed capital of nearly $12,000,000, with 
$15,000,000 of materials consumed and $28,000,- 
000 of products. The city is connected with 
West Troy (which see), oil the opposite side 
of the R.^ by means of a bridge and ferries. 
Troy was incorporated as a village in ISOl, and 
as a city in 1816. Its poi)ulation in 1820 was 
5,264 ; in 1830, 11,405 ; in 1850, 28,785 ; in 1860, 39,- 
232 ; in 1870, 46,46.5, of whom 30,246 were natives 
of the United States and 16,219 foreign born.

through deep caiions or gorges with steep and 
often perpendicular sides. A striking feature 
in the topography is the Table Mt., a masa 
of basalt with a flat top and perpendicular 
sides. Castle Pk., Mt. Dana, Mt. Lyell,

UTAH, one of the western territories ; is 
bounded on the E. by Colo. Ter., on the N. by 
Wyo. Ter. and Idaho Ter., on the W. by Kev. 
an'd on the S. by Ariz. Ter. It extends frim 
37° to 42° N. lat., and from 109° to 114° W. 
long., and has an area of 84,476 sq. mis., or &4,- 
065,075 acres. 

Surface.— Utah forms a part of the extensive 
plateau which lies between the Rocky Mts. 
and the Sierra Nevada, and is greatly diversi- 
fied by lofty mountain chains belonging to the 
vast system of the North American Cordille- 
ras. The most prominent of these in length, 
height and extent of area, is that of the \\ ah- 
satch Mts., which trend thi-ough the territoiy 
from N. to S. and in the southern part of ft 
turn otr toward the S. W. The part of Utah 
lying W. of the Wahsatch Mts. belongs to the 
''Great Basin," and resembles, in all its natural 
features, the neighboring state of Nev. From 
4,250 feet in height above the sea around Great 
Salt Lake, it rises toward the S. and W. to over 
6,000 feet; consists of arid plains, alkali Hats, 
and artemisia or wild sage deserts, and is in- 
tersected by detached mountain chains and 
ridges, which, with few exceptions, are destitute 
of water and timber, and partake of the desert 
character of the intervening plains and valleys. 
The Raft River Mts. occupy the north-easte"rn 
corner of Utah, Promontory Mt. fills the long 
peninsula which projects into the northern 
part of Great Salt Lake ; the Oquirrah Mt., 
Onaqui and Cedar Mts. are S. of this lake and 
trend parallel to the Wahsatch Mt., and further 
to the S. are the House Range, the Goshoot 
Mts., Tliomas Range, Beaver River Range, Wah- 
Wah Mts., Pinyon Mts. and Needle Range. 

The eastern jiart of Utah, extending from 
the Wahsatch Mts. to Colo. Ter., is higher than 
the western, but equallv arid and mountainous. 
The Uintah Mts. trend from the ^Vahsatch 
Mts. to the Green R., and occupy a large area. 
The Roan, or Book, Mts. lie partly in Utah and 
partly in Colo. Ter., between Grand ami Green 
Rs. The Little Mts. lie W. of Green R. and 
trend to the N. W. along the valley of the 
White R. The Sierra Le Sal, or Lasal, lies S. E. 
of Grand R. The Sierra Tucan anil Sierra Pano- 
che lie near the soutliern boundary, the former 
W., the latter E. of the Colorado R. The south- 
eastern part of the territory consists of exten- 
sive undulating plains, and supports a few 
short ridges, as the Sierra Abajo and the Orejos 
del Oso. 

Rivers and ioTres.— The largest body of water 
in Utah is the Great Salt Lake, which lies near 
the W. base of the Wahsatch Mts., extends 100 
mis. from N. W. to S. E. with an average wid th of 
50 mis., and includes the following islands : Dol- 
phin, Gunnison, Hat, Mud, Fremont, Carring- 
ton, Stansbury and Antelope. It is entered 
from the N. by the Bear R., which intei'sects the 
Cache Valley, and breaking through a moun- 
tain range flows through the Malade Valley, 
where it receives the Malade R. Weber R. 
rises in the Uintah Mts., breaks through the 
Wahsatch Mts. and enteis the lake on the east- 
ern shore. Itsalllncnt, OgcU'n R., flows through 
a valley of the Wahsatch Mts. The R. Jordan 
is the outlet of Lake Utah, and flowing N. 
along the foothills of the \Vahsatch Mts. emp- 
ties into the S. E. part of Great Salt Lake. The 
water of the lake contains about 20 per cent, 
of common salt, while Lake Utah is a beautiful 
sheet of fresh water 30 mis. long and 10 mis.

wide. It i& surronndecl bj- mountains, •with a 
broad, grassy valley sloping to the water edge, 
opening to the nortliward, and receives Spanish 
Fork, Provo, or Timpanogas, and Current Crs. 
Sevier Lake, in Millard co., lies about 100 mis. 
S. W. of Lake Utah and receives the Sevier R., 
■which is ncarlj' 200 mis. long and traverses the 
rich valley W. of the Wahsatch Mts. Preuss 
T>ake, Little Salt Lake and Fish Lake are small 
sheets of water in the S. W. part of the terri- 
tory. 

The region lying E. of the Wahsatch Mt. is 
drained by the Green R., which in Pi Ute co. 
joins the Grand R. to form the Colorado of tlie 
West. Green R. intersects the N. E. corner of 
Utah, turns the Uintah Mts. and re-entering 
Utah flows through it from N. to S. Its afflu- 
ents are the Umiah R., which receives the 
drainage of the southern slope of the Uintah 
Mts.; White R. in San Pete Co., San Rafael R. 
and Dirty Devil R., both rising in the Wahsatch 
Mts. Grand R. enters Utah from Colo. Ter., 
and within the territory the Colorado passes a 
canyon whose vertical sides rise 1,'200 feet above 
the bed, while the exterior banks rise in some 
places from 2,000 to 3,000 feet more. 

Climate and Vegetation. — Like tlie other terri- 
tories and states lying between the Rockj' Mts. 
and the Sierra Nevada, Utah has a healthy, 
mild, but exceedingly dry, climate. The mean 
annual temperature £. of the Wahsatch Mts. 
is from 3S° to 44'=', and W. of that great range 
from 40° to 52°. The rain-fall averages about 16 
inches, but around the Great Salt Lake ap- 
proaches 20 inches. Rain is most abundant in 
the valleys from October to April ; the re- 
mainder of the year is dry and hot. Spring 
opens in May ajid cold weather rarely sets in 
before Jv'ovember. 

The vegetation is scanty. Timber is almost 
wholly confined to the higher mountains, and 
consists of quaking ash, cedar, spruce, pine and 
other coniferous trees, while copses of wil- 
low, box-el<ler,cotionwood and dwarf ash gi-ow 
occasionally along the river bottoms. Buffalo 
and grama grass cover the valleys among the 
foothills and along the water-courses. Sand- 
grass prevails in some localities, and, bearing 
small black seeds which tenaciously cling to 
the plant when ripe, is highly nutritious. The 
plains are usually covered w'ith wild sage (Ar- 
temisia), or with an efflorescence of alkili. 
An extensive alkali desert occupies the western 
parts of Box Elder and Tooele cos. 

JPopulalioti.— Utah was first settled by the Mor- 
mons in 1847. Three years later the population 
was 11,380 ; in ISHO, 40,273, and in 1870, 80,786, of 
whom 86,044 were whites, IIS colored persons 
and 179 Indians out of tribal relations. Tlie 
Indians sustaining tribal relations numbered 
12,795, of whom 8,195 lived on reservations and 
at agencies and 4,000 were wandering nomads. 

As to nativity the population was distributed 
as follows : Natives of the United States, 50,084, 
inclusive of 41,211 natives of the territory, and 
natives of foreign countries 30,702, including 
445 Chinese, 10,073 Englishmen, 502 Irishmen, 
2,391 Scotchmen, 1,783 Welshmen, 613 Norwe- 
gians, 1,790 Swedes, 509 Swiss and 353 Germans. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 56,515, of whom 21,517 were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz.: 10,428 in agri- 
culture, 5,317 in professional and personal ser- 
vices, 1,665 in trade and transportation and 4,107 
in manufactures, mechanical and mining indus- 
tries. 

Minerals and Mining. — The mineral resources 
of Utah are extraordinary in extent and diver- 
sity and embrace the ores of the principal me- 
tals and many of the rarer minerals. Gold is 
found in several districts, both in quartz veins 
or as gold dust in placer mines, and also asso- 
ciated with lead in the various galenas of the 
territory. Silver in the native state does not 
occur in large quantities, but associated with 



other ores it is foxrnd almost all over the terrl. 
tory, such as dark ruby silver (antimonialsul. 
phuret) and light ru6y silver (arsenial sul 
phuret), in the Black Jaclc and Butterfleld Can- 
yons, in the Oquirrah Mts., or as horn silver in 
the Star, Tintic, Sevier and other southern dis- 
tricts, or as argentiferous galena (in connec- 
tion with lead) in the Cottonwood and Stock- 
ton districts and elsewhere. Lead is mostly 
found as galena in nearly all the mining dis- 
tricts. Ores of copper are also abundant, and 
in the native state copper occurs in Ophir, Tin- 
tic and southern Utah. The ore from the Mam- 
moth Copperopolis mine at Tintic contains a 
considerable amount of gold. Iron ores are 
very plentiful and of excellent quality. He- 
matites are found in the S. and other rich ores 
in Weber and Cache Valleys and in Iron and 
Washington cos. A fine quality of micaceous 
iron ore is found in Cache co. I'ismuth ore, 
in connection with cadmium, occurs in the 
Beaver district, in Black Jack Gulch and Bing- 
ham Canyon. It assays 43 per cent, bismuth 
and 35 per cent, silver. Cinnabar, realgar and 
orpiment, in a very pure form, occur in the 
Oquirrah Mts. 

Common salt exists in enormous quantities, 
the great lake itself being an inexhaustible 
source of this indispensable substance. Coal of 
good qualitj' is found in various parts of the 
territory, aiid has been worked for some years 
past in Weber Canyon. San Pete co. provinces 
good bituminous coal, and from recent devel- 
opments southern Utah appears to be well 
supplied with coal. Eire clay of a superior 
quality is obtained from large deposits N. of 
Salt Lake City. Clay for the manufacture of 
pottery and kaolin for chinawareare plentiful, 
while the very best building materials, sand- 
stone and marble, of various colors, are every- 
where easily obtained. 

The following are the principal mining dis- 
tricts : Big and Little Cottonwood Dist., in the 
Wahsatch Mts., about 25 mis. S. AV. of Salt Lake 
City ; Parley's Park Dist., in the same range, 
about 33 mis. from the city ; American Fork 
and Snake Creek Mining Dist., adjoining Little 
Cottonwood Dist.; the Bingham Canon Dist., in 
the Oquirrah Mts., 25 mis. S. W. of Salt Lake 
City; Rush Valley Dist., on the western slope 
of the same range, about 40 mis. from the city ; 
The Ophir Dist., formerly a part of the preced- 
ing, is famous for the richness of its veins ; 
Camp Floyd Dist., S. of the Ophir Dist. and 60 
mis. from the city ; East Tintic Dist., in the 
Tintic Valley, 75 mis. S. W. of the city ; Ohio 
or Sevier Dist., on the Sevier R. and about 200 
mis. S. of the city; Lincoln Dist., formerly 
called the "Pioneer," 4 mis. N. of Minersville, 
Beaver co.: Star Dist., 230 mis. S. of Salt Lake 
City ; Mineral Point Dist., 16 mis. from Bing- 
ham City, having immense deposits of iron of 
excellent quality, and granite Dist., 60 mis. W. 
of the Ophir Dist. Utah has numerous fur- 
naces, smelting works, stamp mills, separating 
and refining works and ore sampling works. 

AgricuUure. — The proportion of land suscep- 
tible of cultivation is small. The best is situ- 
ated at the base of the mountains and generally 
consists of gravelly loam, which is well adapt- 
ed to the growth of wheat and other cereals. 
Vegetables grow to a very large size and are of 
excellent quality. In the southern part of the 
territory cotton, madder, infligo, figs and 
almonds are successfully cultivated. The dry- 
ness of the climate renders irrigation indis- 
pensable, and this entails a continuous expense 
and labor upon the agriculturist. Irrigating 
canals have been constructed in nearly all the 
productive valleys and districts. There were, 
in 1865, 277 such canals, from which 163,949 acres 
of land were irrigated ; and since then othei's 
have been added. 

Accoi-ding to the last census there were 4,908 
farms in the territory, which embraced 118,755 



UTAH.

acres of impi'oved land, 215 acres of woodlancl 
and 29,391 acres of other unimproved land. Tbe 
cash value of farms was $2,297,922, and tbe esti- 
mated value of productions, including Im- 
provements and additions to stock, $1,973,142. 
There were produced W3,487 bush, of spring 
wheat, 14,986 bush, of winter wheat, 95,557 bush, 
of Indian-corn, 65,650 bush, of oats, 49,117 bush. 
of barley, 323,645 bush. Irish pot's, 22 bales of 
cotton, 109,018 lbs. of wool, 310,335 lbs. of butter, 
27,305 tons of hay, and 67,446 gals, of sorghum 
molasses. 

The live stock had a value of $2,149,814, and 
comprised 11,068 horses, 2,879 mules and asses, 
17,563 milch cows, 3,479 working oxen, 18,138 
Other cattle, 59,672 sheep and 3,150 swine. 

The Manvfaclures of Utah, not connected with 
the reduction of ores, are of secondary im- 
portance. In 1870 there were 533 establishments, 
using 21 steam-engines of 331 horse-power and 
192 water-wheels of 2,169 horse-power. They 
employed 1,.534 hands, paid wages to the 
amount of $395,.365 and consumed raw materials 
to the value of $1,218,252. The capital invested 
in manufacturing amounted to $1,391,898, and 
the commodities produced had a value of $2,- 
843,019; flour and meal of $782,846 in value, 
sawed lumber of $661,4.31 in value, and woollen 
goods of $133,620 in value were the principal 
products of industry. 

Commerce and Railroads.— T\\q commerce of 
Utah consists in exporting the products of the 
mines, as ores and bullion, and importing coal, 
lumber, machinery, and the numerous articles 
of home consumption. In 1872 there were 
sliipped by the Utah Central R. R. 20,693,692 lbs. 
of ore, $910,536; 11,066,853 lbs. of bullion, $1,328,- 
022; 180,000 lbs. of le>vd, $9,000; 170,191 ounces of 
silver bars, $200,333 ; 5,556 ounces of gold bars and 
dust, $100 000; 388,693 lbs. of wool, 6,258 hides, 
37,400 tons of coal, lumlxn- of $1,441,566 in value, 
and general merchandise of over $10,500,000 in 
value. 

The Union Pacific and Central Pacific R. Rs. 
intersect the northern part of the territory 
from E. to W. and have within its limits a 
length of 257 mis. Local lines have since been 
constructeil to the extent of 97 mis., so as to 
make the total railroad mileage 349. The Utah 
Northern R. R. branches olf from the Central 
Pacific and will run to Soda Springs, Oneida 
CO., Idaho Ter., a distance of 125 mis., 40 of 
which were in running order in 1873. The Utah 
Central R. R. connects Ogden with Salt Lake 
City (37 mis.). The Utah Southern R. R. is in 
running order for 40 mis. S. of Salt Lake City, 
anil will soon be completed to Payson, Utah co. 
It will eventually be extended to the Colorado 
R. Other railroads have been incorporated to 
atfoi'd commercial facilities to the thriving 
settlements in various jiarts of the territory. 

JSdiicalion, etc. — The present school system 
has been organized by the territorial legislature 
and is liberally sustained by the people. The 
Chancellor and Regents of the Deseret Univer- 
sity exercise a general supervision over the 
educational interests of the territory. This 
university includes a classical, scientific and 
normal course. It was opened in 1850 and re- 
organized in 18(57 and again in 1869. In 1871 it 
bad 286 male and 294 female students. 

Utah in the same year had 277 schools, in 
which 190 male and 18,5 female teachers gave in- 
struction. The number of children enrolled 
was 15,924. and the average daily attendance 
11,398. 

2'he P?'e«,5, according to the census, comprised 
10 newspapers and periodicals, 3 of which were 
dailies, which had a circulation of 14,250. 

Wealth ami Taxation. — The assessed value of 
real estate in 1870 was $7,047,881, and of personal 
estate $5,517,961. The estimated or true value 
of both kinds of property was $16,159,995, against 
$5,596,118 in 1860. Tbe to'tal (not national) taxa- 
tion was $167,355, of which $39,402 were tor terri- 



torial, $80,419 for CO. and $47,534 for town and 
city purposes. 

Government.— V\ii\i., originally apart of Upper 
California, was ceded to tbe United States by 
treaty with Mexico, in 1848, and erected into a 
territory in September, 1850. It was first settled 
by the Mormons, a peculiar religious sect, call- 
ing themselves Latter Day Saints, in 1847, after 
their expulsion from III., where thej' had found- 
ed the settlement of Nauvoo. 

The Governor and Secretary are appointed by 
the President of the United States for 4 years. 
The Legislative Assembly 5s composed of a 
Council and a House of Representatives. The 
13 members of the Council are elected for two 
years and the 26 members of the House for one 
year. 

The judicial power of the territory is vested 
in a Supreme Court, District Courts, Probate 
Courts and Justices of the Peace. The Supreme 
Court consists of one Chief Justice aiul two 
Associate Justices. Tbe territory is divided 
into three judicial districts, in each of which a 
regular term of the Supreme Court is held every 
year. 

Utah is divided into the following 20 counties: 
Beaver, Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Iron, Juab, 
Kane, Millard, Morgan, Pi Ute, Rich, Salt Lake, 
San Pete, Sevier, Summit, Tooele, Utah, Wah- 
satch, Washington, Weber. 

Tbe territorial capital is Salt Lake City, with 
a pop. of 12,854. The other principal cities with 
their pop. are Ogden, 3,127; Logan, 1,757; Eph- 
raim City, 1,167 ; Manti, 1,239 ; Mount Pleasant, 
1,346 and Provo, 2,384.

ceived its name, lies in the center, and its out- 
let, the Jordan R., flows through the northern 
part. Numerous small streams rising in the 
mountains intersect tbe southern portion and 
empty into Utah Lake. With the aid of irri- 
gation excellent crops of fruit and grain are 
raised. Provo City is the co. seat. Agr. pro- 
ductions in 1870: Wheat, 128,909 bush.; rye, 38

VERMONT, one of the New England states ; 
is hounded on the W. by N. Y., on the E by N. 
H., on the S. by Mass., and on the N. by the Do- 
minion of Canada. It extends from 42^^ to 45^ N. 
lat. and from 7P 25' to 73° 26' W. long., and has 
an area of 10,212 sq. mis. or 6,.535,680 acres. 

Surface.— \t. is intersected by the broad belt 
Of tlie Green Mts., the French name of which, 
"Verts Monts," has given the name to the state. 
Their hisihcst range trends from N. to S. nearly 
parallel to the western boundary, and consists 
of several detached ridges which, Btandmg end 



to end, are separated from each other by tbe 
valleys of the streams emptying into Lake 
Champlain. The highest peaks are the Equinox 
Mt., 3,872 feet. Mount Anthony, 2 mis. from Ben- 
nington ; Mt. Holly, Shrewsbury Pk., 3,345 feet, 
Killington Pk., 4,221 feet, Mt. Moosehillock, 4,790 
feet. Camel's Hump, 4,088 feet, INIt. Mansfield, 
4,430 feet and Jay's Pk. A second range, lower 
but more continuous than the first, branches 
off near Killington Pk. and trends tlirough the 
state in a N. N. E. direction. It forms the water- 
shed between the Connecticut R., which washes 
the eastern border of the state, and Lake Cham- 
plain, which washes the western. Some detach- 
ed mountains rise near the Connecticut I!.. Ihe 
most famous of which is Mt. Ascutney, .•;,320 
feet, which affords magnificent views over tlio 
adjacent country. The Green Mts. are almost 
everywhere covered with forests of hemlock, 
spruce and other coniferous trees, and abound 
in grand and picturesque scenery. Along the 
shore of Lake Champlain extends a narrow belt 
of low plain. ^ . . 

Rivers and Lakes.— The entire eastern part of 
the state is drained by the Connecticut R., 
which separates it from N. H. an<l receives the 
following tributaries: Nulhegan R., in Essex 
CO • Passumpsic R., which receives Moose R. m 
Caledoniaco.; Wells R., which issues from Long 
Pond ; Wails R., in Orange co., White R., Otta 
Quechee R. and Black R., in Windsor co.,VVil- 
Uams R., Saxtons R., and West R., in A\ indliam 
CO., and the upper course of Deerfield R. The 
northern part of the state, between the two 
ranges of the Green Mts. is drained by Lake 
Memphremagog, which receives Barton and 
Black Rs. in Orleans co. Lake Champlain ex- 
tends for 105 mis. along the western border of 
the state, and receives the Missisquoi K. and 
Lamoille R., both intersecting Franklin CO., 
Winooski or Onion R. and Laplot R.. in Chitten- 
den CO., Otter Cr., Avhich drains Addison co., 
and Poultney R., which bounds Rutland co. on 
the S. and empties into the southern extremity 
of Lake Champlain. The S. W. corner ot the 
state, embracing the larger part of Bennington 
CO is drained by small aflluents of the Hudson 
R.,'as Battenkill and Hoosic Rs. 

Climate.— The climate of Vt. is cold and mark- 
ed by great extremes of temperature. The 
winters are long and severe, the gummers short 
and hot. Frost usually sets in m September 
and continues steadily to the beginning ot AprU. 
The isothermal curve of 44° mean annual tern- 
perature intersects the state from the N. W. 
corner in a south-easterly direction, b. antl W . 
of this line the mean annual temperature rises 
to 40°, and N. and E. of it it falls to 40°. At 
Montpelier, nearly in the center of the state, 
the mean temperature of July has been found 
to be about 73° and of December about 19°. 

The rain-fall is greatest in the southern part 
of the state and along the valley ot the Connec- 
ticut, where it averages 44 inches. 1 rom here 
it gradually decreases in a north-westerly di- 
rection, where it averages but 36 inches. 

Population.— \t. was first settled by emigrants 
froni Mass. in 1724, at Fort Dummer, near the 
present site of Brattleborough, but the real col- 
onization of the state did not begin until after 
the conquest of Canada, 1760, being checked by 
the ferocity of the Indians who were until then 



quite numerous. In 1790 the population was 
85,425 ; in 1800, 154,465 ; in 1810, 217,895 ; "' 1820, 230,- 
9tW • in 1830, 280.652 ; in 1840, 291,948 ; in 1850, 314,120 ; 
in 1800. 315,098 ami in 1870, 3;50,551. Of this num- 
ber 329,613 were whites, 924 were colored and U 
were Indians. The natives of the United btates 
numbered 283,396, of whom 243,814 were bom m 
the state, 13,540 in N. H., 9,202 in Mass., 1,2.51 in 
Me . 1,613 in Conn. The foreign born population 
numbered 47,155, of whom 28,544 were born in 
British America, 370 in Germany, 1,94b in ^ng- 
land, 14,080 in Ireland, 1,240 in Scotland and 565 
in Wales.

The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 258,750, of whom 108,763 were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz : 57,983 in agri- 
culture, 21,032 in professional and personal 
services, 7,132 in trade and transportation and 
22,816 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
ing industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — Traces of gold have 
been found, hut not in sufficient quantities to 
warrant mining. Iron of good quality is abun- 
dant. Excellent ores occur along the western 
base of tlie Green Mts. and hog ore in various 
parts of the state. Building stones are, how- 
ever, the chief mineral productions ; particu- 
larly granite and fine marble. A black variety 
of marble is quarried at Swanton, on Lake 
Ohamplain. Slate is quarried on the Connecti- 
cut R. and near Rutland. Porcelain-clay or 
kaolin, limestone, steatite and manganese are 
also found abundantly. 

Agriculture is the principal pui-suit of the in- 
habitants. There are large areas of highly 
productive soil along the water-courses and in 
the valleys, while the mountain meadows afford 
great inducements to the stock raiser and 
breeder. It produces the finest wool in the 
United States, and nowhere else in the country 
is so niuch attention paid to the raising of the 
higliest grade of merino sheep as in this state. 

In 1S70 there were in Vt. 33,827 farms of all 
sizes: 1,807 of which had less than 10 acres, 
],y!)8 from 10 to 20 acres, 6,210 from 20 to 50 acres, 
10,761 from 50 to 100 acres. 12,935 from 100 to 500 
acres, 102 from 500 to 1,000 acres, and 15 over 
1,000 acres. The farms included 3,073,257 acres 
of improved land (40.9 per cent, of the area of 
the state), 1,386,934 of woodland and 68,613 of 
unimproved land. Their cash value was $139,- 
367,075, and the value of farming implements, 
$5,250,279. The estimated value of all farm pro- 
ductions, including improvements and addi- 
tions to stock, was ,1i;54,647,027. There were pro- 
duced 438,155 bush, of spring wheat, 16,548 bush, 
of winter wheat, 73,.346 bush, of rye, 1,690,882 
busl). of Indian-corn, 3,602,430 bush, of oats, 117,- 
333 bush, of barley, 415,096 bush, of buckwheat, 
5,157,428 bush, of Irish pot's, 72,672 lbs. of tobac- 
co, 3,102,137 lbs. of wool, 17,844,396 lbs. of butter, 
4,830,700 lbs. of cheese, .52.5.927 lbs. of hops, 8,894,302 
lbs. of maple sugar and 1,020,669 tons of hay. 

The live stock had a value of *23,888,835 and 
comprised 65,015 horses, 2.52 mules and asses, 
180,285 milch cows, 27,809 working oxen, 112,741 
Other cattle, 580,347 sheep and 46,345 swine. 

Manufactures.— A\W\o\\g\\ the rivers afford an 
immense amount of water-power, Vt. has fewer 
manufactories than any of tlie other New Eng- 
land states. In 1870 there were 3,270 establish- 
ments, against 1,883 in 1860, which used 186 
steam-engines of 6,425 horse-power, and 1,984 
water-wheels of 44,897 horse-power. The num- 
ber of hands employed was 18,686. The capital 
invested amounted to $20,329,637, and the wages 
paid to $6,264,581. The raw materials used had 
a value of $17,007,769, and the commodities pro- 
duced of $32,184,60(i. The chief products of 
industry, witli their values, were flour and 
meal, $3,895,058, tanned leather, $1,249,942, cur- 
ried leather, $762,571, planed lumber, $2,544,603, 
sawed lumber, $3,525,122, machinery, $7.56,080, 
scales and balances, $1,629,000, tin, copper and 
sheet-iron ware, $505,005 and woollen goods, $3,- 
550,962. 

Commerce and Railroads.— Ca,ni\<\.&, is tlie only 
foreign country with which Vt. has direct corri- 
mercial intercourse, which is carried on by 
Avay of Lake Ohamplain. In 1875 the commer- 
cial fleet of tlie state comprised 13 sailing 
vessels of 768 tons, 6 steam vessels of 4,761 tons 
and 10 unrigged vessels of 684 tons. The im- 
ports had a value of $9,082,829 ; consisting of 
nsh, furs and skins, gold coin, hair, rags, 
books, living animals, malt, oats, wheat, flour, 
chemicals, copper ore, fruits, glass, iron and 
Steel, leather, etc. The exports of dom.estic 



commodities had a value of .$.%702,720 ; consist- 
ing of books, drugs and chemicals, fruits, glass, 
gold coin, hair, hides, machinery, nails, leather, 
oil, types, gunpowdei-, oysters, quicksilvei-, 
clothing, woollen goods, etc., and the exports 
of foreign commodities of $28,725. 

The railroad mileage was 103 m 1848, 529 in 
18.58, 605 in 1,868 and 710 in 1872. The principal 
lines are the Connecticut and Passumpsic 
Rivers R. R., which extends from White 
River .Junction to Derbv on the Canada Lino 
lio;^ nils. ; the Rutland R. R., from Burling- 
ton to Bellow's Falls (120 mis.), with branches 
from Bellow's Falls to Brattleborougli and 
from Brattleborougli to Grout's Corners ; and 
the Vermont Central R. R.. from Windsor to 
Burlington (118 mis.), with branches from St. 
Albans to Richford, trom Bellows Falls to 
Windsor, from Bellows Falls to Burlington, 
and from Brattleborougli to Miller's Falls, 
Mass. 

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. — The assessed val- 
uation of real and peisonal estate in 1870 was 
$102,548,528, of which $80,993,100 was for real 
estate and $21, .5.55,428 for personal propertj% 
The true or estimated valuation of both kinds 
of propertv was $235,349,.553 against $122,477,170 
in 1860 and $92.20.5,049 in 1.8.50. 

The amount of state taxes assessed and col- 
lected in 1869 was $541,076, and in 1870, $.588,866. 
The current liabilities for 1871 were $98,905, and 
the current resources $184,900. so that the for- 
mer exceeded the latter by .$85,995. 

The funded debt of the state on August 1, 1872, 
Avas $237,500, having been reduced during the 
year by $1,50,000. The financial affair* of the 
stateare in a highly encouraging condition, and 
the time is not far "distant when the public debt 
will be wholly paid and extinguished without 
any severe burden upon tlie people. 

The census reports the county taxes for 1870 
at $40,329 ; the bonded delDt of the counties at 
.$8,042; the town and city taxation at $918,007 and 
the bonded debt of towhsand cities at$l, 470,094. 

Education, e/c— The public schools of Vt. are 
in a flourishing condition, and have ever been 
liberally supported by the people. In most of 
the large villages they are graded. The num- 
ber of' children of school age (from 4 to 18 
years) in 1870 was 7,8,843, of whom 64.149 attended 
school, while the aggregate average attendance 
was 44,.5.59. Select schools were attended by 
6,640 children. There were 2,7.50 district schools 
in the state and 229 select schools, and the 
number of teachers was 4,239. The total ex- 
penditures for school purposes for the year 
were $486,407. 

Three normal schools have been established, 
one in each congressional district, under the 
direction of the State Board of Education. 
They are the Randolph, Johnson and Castleton 
normal schools. The University of Vermont 
is located at Burlington. The State Agricul- 
tural College has been incorported with the 
University, and has received the avails of the 
150,000 acres of land donated by the general 
government. There are two other colleges and 
several academies in the state. 

The State Board of Education consists of six 
persons besides the Governor, who is an ex- 
otHcio member thereof. The board appoints 
its secretary, who has the general superintend- 
ence of the schools of the state. Each town 
elects a town superintendent, who is required 
to visit each common school at least once a 
year. Towns are divided into school districts. 
each of which has a prudential committee of 
one or three voters, who appoint teachers, pro- 
vide suital)le school-rooms and make arrange- 
ments for the schools of the district. 

The charitable and penal institutions are the 
following; The Vermont Asylum for the In- 
sane, at Brattleborough, established in 1834 ; it 
has a large farm and extensive workshops and 
other buildings ; the Reform School, at Water-

bury, established in 1865, and the State Prison, 
estahlished in 1807, at Windsor. It is under tlie 
government of a board of three directors and a 
superintendent, elected annually by the Legis- 
lature. 

The Press of Vt. comprises 47 papers, which 
have a circulation of 71,390. Of these 3 are 
dailies, 43 weeklies, 1 monthly and 1 semi- 
weekly. 

Ooi'ernmen^.— Jurisdiction over the teri-itory 
within the present limits of Vt. was claimed 
by Mass., N. H. and N. Y. In January, 1771, a 
convention met at Westminster declaring the 
state an independent jurisdiction, to be forever 
known as "New Connecticut," alias "Ver- 
mont." The same convention met again in July, 
and appointeel a committee to frame a constitu- 
tion. The Legislature, in February, 1779, passed 
an act declaring that the constitution, as estab- 
lished by general convention at Windsor in 
1777, together with such alterations and addi- 
tions as should be made in pursuance of its 
provisions, should be forever held and main- 
tained as part of the laws of the state. After 
the controversy with N. Y. was amicably set- 
tled, the Legislature of Vt. called a convention 
to ascertain the wishes of the people with 
regard to admission Into the Union. The con- 
vention met, and in January, 1791, resolved to 
make application. An act was accordingly 
passed, to take effect March 4, 1791, by which 
Vt. was admitted with the rights and privi- 
leges of an independent state, and by another 
act, approved in Mui'ch, 1791, the laws of the 
United States were extended over Vt. Thei'e 
have bee* held, under the constitution of the 
state, 13 " Councils of Censors," at intervals of 
7 years, to propose changes to the constitution, 
and the changes thus proposed were adopted 
by the conventions called by them. The first 
Council of Censors met in 1785 ; the thirteenth 
in 1869. 

Every man of 21 years of age, who is a native 
born citizen of some one of the United States, 
or has been naturalized and has resided in the

VIRGINIA, one of the 13 original states of 
the Union; is bounded on the N. by Md. and W. 
Va., on the E. by Chesapeake B. and the Atlantic 
Ooean, on the S. by N. C. and Tenn., and on the 
W. by Kv. and VV. Va. It extends from 36° 30' 
to 39° 27' N. iat., and from 75= 10' to 83° 30' W. long., 
and lias an area of 38,348 sq. mis., or 24,542,720 
acres. 

Surface. — Va. is naturally divided into 7 sec- 
tions or belts, extending through it from N. E. 
to S. W., parallel with the general trend of the 
Atlantic coast. 

1. The Tide-water Country embi-aces the large 
peninsulas that have tlieir outline washed by 
the tidal waters of the Chesapeake B. or by the 
Atlantic Ocean. It is about 100 mis. in width 
and over 120 nils, in length, making an area of 
nearly 12,000 sq. mis. The tidal creeks penetrate 
far into each separate peninsula, are mostly 
wide and deep, and in some of the broad estua- 
ries, as Hampton Roads, Elizabeth 11., Vork R., 
and elsewhere, the largest vessels afloat can 
easily reach the wharves. The water-sheds 
rarely exceed 100 feet in height above tlie sea. 
In some of the peninsulas are large swamps — 
like the Great Dismal — valuable for the fine cy- 
press, pine, oak and other timber in and around 
them. The rank cane vegetation of their bor- 
ders furnishes a vast supply of material for the 
manufacture of paper. Large forests of pine 
still abound, and the lumber sliips run to the 
vicinity of the steam saw mills for their car- 
goes. 

2. The Middle Country has very nearly the 
shape of a right-angled triangle, its base of 130 
mis. resting on the N. C. state line ; the right 
angle is on the E. and the perpendicular extends 
northward, past tlie heads of the tidal creeks 
to the Potomac, while the hj-pothenuse of 220 
mis. runs with the broken ranges of the South 
West Mts. at the border of thePiedmont Coun- 
try. Its area is about 12,000 sq. mis., divided 
into 21 cos. The great variety of composi- 
tion in the basis rocks lias given a correspond- 
ing variety to the soils of this region, and they 
are found possessed of all degrees of fertility, 
from the poor gray ridges forming the water- 
sheds of the principal streams to the rich dark 
bottom-lands along the streams themselves. 
The tobacco of this section is noted for its flue 
quality, and the wheat for the perfection of its 
ripeness, making it desirable to grind into flour 
for exportation to warm climates. Large por- 
tions of the counti'y are covered with forests 
of oak and pine. 

3. The Piedmont Country is composed of the 
tier of 13 cos. lying adjacent to and E. of the 
Blue Ridge, and is about 250 mis. long and 25 
mis. wide. Its eastern limit is about 500 feet 
above tide-water, and the irregular mountains 
"which rise on it are from 500 to 800 feet higher ; 
but they are of easy access and generally fertile 
to their summits. The country between these 
mountains and the Blue Ridge is made up of 
numberless valleys surrounded by hills and 
ridges having an endless variety of forms. The 
principal of these ridges are iJull Mt., in Pat- 
rick CO.; Turkey Cock Mt. and Chestnut Mt., in 
Franklin co.; Buffalo Ridge, in Amherst co.. 
Green, Carter and South West Mts., in Albe- 
marle CO.; Pig Nut Mt. and Bull Run Mt., in 
Fairfax co., and Catoctin Mt. in Loudoun co. 
Nothing can exceed the beauty of the round 
and inclosed valleys, locally known as "coves." 
The soil is of exuberant fertility and the crops 
heavy and of excellent quality. 

i. The Blue Ridge extends ior more than 300 



mis. diagonally across the state, varying In 
width from 3 mis. at the gorge, through which 
the Potomac R. bursts at Harper's Perry, to 
more tliau 20 mis., near the Tenn. state line, 
where it expands into a broken concave plateau 
drained by New R. The general elevation of the 
Blue Ridge above the sea level isl,8U0 feet near 
the Potomac, whence it increases toward the S. 
W. until at White Top, on the Tenn. border, it 
reaches 5,000 feet. It is generally 2,000 feet above 
the great Atlantic plain, and from 1,000 to 1,500 
above the Virginia Valley in tlie W. The Blue 
Ridge occupies about 3,000 sq. mis. of Va., most of 
which is covered with a fine growth of oak, 
hickory, chestnut and tulip-poplar forests. The 
soil is especially adapted to the requirements 
of the grape-vine, and the topography is such, 
that almost anj- aspect can be chosen for a vine- 
yard. Numerous vineyards are now in success- 
ful operation. At Belmont, near Front Ro5^al, 
is one, covering 75 acres, and producing 20,000 
gals, of wine and 10.000 gals, of brandy. Apples, 
pears, peaches, and other fruits of a temperate 
climate, here attain a flavor and perfection 
rarely attained elsewhere. The passes which 
lead across the Blue Ridge and thus connect 
the Piedmont with the great valley, are numer- 
ous and commodious, as Snicker's Gap, Ash- 
by's Gap, Manassas Gap, Chester Gap, Thorn- 
ton's Gap, Swift Run Gap, Brown's Gap, Rock- 
fish Gap, White's Gap, Petit's Gap, Buford's 
Gap, Kennedy's Gap, Mowbray's Gap, Flower 
Gap and others. The principal peaks are Thun- 
der Hill, Flat Top, Peaks of Otter, 3,995 feet ; 
Weavtti-'s Knob, Buffalo Knob, etc. 

5. The Valley of Virginia lies W. of the Blue 
Ridge ; is about 320 mis. in length and averages 
25 mis. in widtli. It is the central jiortion of 
what is known as the great Appalachian Val- 
ley, a belt of limestone land extending for 1,500 
mis., from the St. Lawrence R. to the Alabama 
R., famous for its fertility and the surpassing 
beauty of its scenery. Tlie Virginia Valley is 
better known by the names of its suljdivisions, 
as the Shenandoah, James, Roanoke, New River 
and Holston Valleys, which succeed each other 
in the order given," from the Potomac ly to tlio 
Tenn. state line. Ranges of remarkably long, 
straight, narrow and steep mountains, parallel 
and standing in echelon, form the western 
boundary of the valley, having various local 
names, as the Little North, Walker's, Clinch, 
etc.. but known by the collective term of Kit- 
tatinny.the Indian name, meaning the "End- 
less." The valley is composed of a seiies of as- 
cending and descending planes, rising from 
levels of from 600 to 1,0U0 feet to those of 2,000 
or 2,.'i00 feet. These slopes are either N. E. or 
S. W.; but the whole valley has a very decided 
inclination, beside, to tlie S. E., the western edge 
being generally 500 or 600 feet higher than the 
eastern. It follows from these data that the 
streams flow eastwardly and their united wa- 
ters flnd a channel at the very western base of 
the mountains, until they can flnd a passage 
through them. These streams arc very wind- 
ing, and in some cases five times the length of 
the air-line distance from source to mouth. 
The valley contains over 5,000,000 of acres of 
land, barely one-third of which is under any 
kind of cultivation. The forests are great park- 
like groves of many kinds of oak, hickory, 
locust, walnut and yellow pine, with little or 
no undergrowth. The timber of these trees is 
of superior quality for manufacturing purpo- 
ses. The valley is an extremely rich farming 
and grazing region covered with natural grass- 
es, especially the blue grass that forms peren- 
nial pastunis, famed for their fattening quali- 
ties. The climate is a happy medium between 
the extremes of N. and S., and may be charac- 
terized as the mild-temperate. 

6. The Appalachian Country succeeds the 
valley on the W. It is a belt over 360 mis. long, 
varying in width from 20 to 50 mis. and having 



VIRGINIA. 



921 



VIRGINIA. 



an area in this state of over 6,000 sq. mis. In 
general terms it may be described as a series 
of comparatively narrow and long parallel val- 
leys, separated by ranges of mountains equally 
parallel, long and narrow and of considerable 
elevation. The beads of the valleys are some 
2,500 feet in elcvation,and they descend to froin 
800 to 1,500. Tlie mountains are from 3,000 to 
4,000 feet in altitude. The soil of the valleys is 
very productive and the grass, corn and root 
crops are famous for abundance and quality. 
As a beef producing region, the Appalachian 
Country surpasses any other in the eastern por- 
tion of tlie United States. Tlie following are 
the principal ranges : tlie Great and Little North 
Mt., the Cow Pasture, or Shenandoah, Mt., 
Warm Spring Mt., Alleghany Mts., forming the 
western boundary of Highland, Bath and Alle- 
ghany COS.; Rich Patch Mt., Peters Mt., Flat 
Top Mt., Clinch Mt., Powell's Mt. and Cumber- 
land Mts., the latter separating Lee and Wise 
COS., the western extremity of the state, from 
Ky. 

7. The Trans- Appalachian Country is the last 
section of the state, and embraces mainly the 
cos. of Wise and Buchanan. It is about 2,.500 
feet high, and forms a plane inclined to west- 
ward at a low angle, from which the streams 
have eroded channels to a great depth (inmany 
places 1,000 feet deep). Along the rivers are 
alluvial bottoms of great fertility. The roll- 
ing uplands are well timbered with forests of 
birch, walnut, maple, tulip-poplar, oak and 
pine. 

Rivei-s.—The largest part of Va. belongs to 
the drainage system of Chesapeake B., the 
southern part of which belongs to it, while tlie 
northern extends into Md. The Potomac R., 
"Which forms the northern boundary of the 
state, rises in two branches in the Appalachian 
Country, receives the Shenandoah R., breaks, at 
Harpers Ferry, through a gap in the Blue 
Kidge, and empties through a wide estuarj^ 
into Chesapeake B. It is navigable for the 
largest vessels to Alexandria and for smaller 
boats to Georgetown. The Rappahannock R. 
rises in the Blue Ridge, receives the Rapidan 
R. and is navigable to Fredericksburgh. York 
R. is formed by the confluence of the Mata- 
pony and Pamiinkey Rs., and is navigable to 
Yorktown. The James R. is formed by several 
branches rising in the Appalachian Country, 
intersects the Viriginia Valley, and after break- 
ing through the Blue Ridge flows in an easterly 
direction through the Piedmont, the IMiddle 
and the Tide-water countries. It is navigable 
as far as Richmond. Nottoway and Meherrin 
Rs., the branches of the Chowan R., which 
empties into Albemarle Sound, drain the S. E. 
part of the state, while the Roanoke R., with 
Its branches, drains the southern part of the 
Middle Country. 

The southern portion of the Blue Ridge is 
drained by the New R., the lower course of 
which is called the Great Kanawha R., while 
the Appalachian Country includes the sources 
of Powells Cr., Clinch R. and Holston R. and 
other small branches of the Tennessee R. 
Buchanan co., and the greater part of Wise co., 
are drained by the branches of the West Fork 
of the Big Sandy R. 

The Climate of Va. is on the whole mild and 
salubrious. The Tide-water Country has long 
and hot summers, mild winters, and is not 
altogether free from malarious diseases. Its 
mean annual temperature varies from 5G to 60 
degrees. From here westward the mean an- 
nual temperature decreases, until it sinks 
down in the higher parts of the Blue Ridge to 
48 degrees. In the Appalachian Country it 
rises to over 52 degrees. The rain-fall is abund- 
ant for the support of a luxuriant vegetation, 
and averages, in the larger part of the state, 
from 40 to 44 inches. 

Population.— In. 1607 Capt. John Smith founded 



the settlement at .Jamestown, on the .Tames K., 
which was the flrst,not only in the state, but 
on the continent, made by Englishmen. The 
settlement gradually extended inland, along 
the James R., and increased in population and 
prosperity. In 1716 Gov. Alexander Spotts- 
wood, leading a party of friends, crossed the 
Blue Ridge and discovered the Shenandoah 
Valley, which was subsequently settled by 
" Scotch-Irish " and Germans froiii Pa. 

In 1790 the population was 747,610 ; in 1800, 880,200 ; 
in 1810, 974,600; in 1820, 1,065,116; in 1830, 1,211,405; 
in 1S40, 1,239,797; in 1850, 1,421,661 ; in 1860, 1,596,- 
318, and (after the erection of W. Va. into a sep- 
arate state) in 1870, 1,22.5,163. Of these there were 
712,08!) white, 512,841 colored and 229 Indian. 

In regard to nativitj'the pop. was distributed 
as follows: The natives of the United States 
numbered 1,211,409, inclusive of 1,162,822 natives 
of Va. antl W. Va., and the natives of foreign 
countries 13,754, of whom 327 were born in Brit- 
ish America, 369 in France, 4,050 in Germany, 
1,909 in England, 5,191 in Ireland, and 705 in 
Scotland. 

The population of 10 years of age and over 
numbered 890,056, of whom 412.6fi5 were engaged 
in all classes of occupations, viz. : 244,550 in ag- 
riculture, 98,.521 in professional and personal 
services, 20.181 in trade and transportation, and 
49,413 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
ing industries. 

Minerals and Mining. — \a.. is as rich in min- 
eral treasures as any of the states E. of the 
Rocky Mts. 

Midway in the Middle Country is a strip of 
land from 15 to 20 mis. in width, and running 
for 200 mis. through the state, that has long 
been known as the "gold belt." Large amounts 
of gold have been taken from it, especially 
near the Rappahannock and James Rs., and 
small quantities are constantlj' being obtained 
from surface washings. 

Iron is very abundant throughout the state. 
Magnetic, micaceous and specular ores are 
found interstratifled with the other formations 
in the Piedmont. Brown hematite iron ores 
occur in very extensive deposits in the ranges 
of foot hills lying along the western base of the 
Blue Ridge. "They yield from 60 to 65 per cent, 
of metallic iron. The western flank of the 
table-land in the S. W. is known as the " Iron 
Mountain," from the quantity of ore there ex- 
posed, and where the New R. leaves the Ridge, 
at Radford Furnace, the stratum of ore is over 
30 feet in thickness. Large beds of manganese 
of excellent quality are found in tlie same 
ranges of hills near these hematite ores. 

The Appalachian Country also abounds in 
iron ores of a superior quality, and favorably 
situated for mining. A stratum of brown hema- 
tite ore of from 30 to 50 feet in thickness under- 
lies the sand-stone strata of the mountain 
ranges bordering the Virginia Valley on the W. 
Some of the ranges further W. bear "these valu- 
able ores on their crests— for example, the Iron 
Knobs at Elizabeth Furnace, near the line of 
the Chesapeake & Ohio R. R. A very persistent 
stratum of hematite ore, known locally as dye- 
stone, because sometimes used for coloring 
purposes, runs through the Poor Valley Ridge, 
the Great Flat Top Mt. and other western 
ranges. This stratum extends from Ala. to N. 
Y., where it is known as the highly-prized 
" Clinton ore." Sulphurets of iron and copper 
occur in the gold belt. 

Copper ores are less abundant than iron ores, 
but occur in sufflcient quantities to promise 
great results when properly developed. The 
primary rocks of the Blue Ridge inclose con- 
siderable deposits of good quality. The sul- 
phurets of copper found at various localities 
along the Chesapeake & Ohio R. R. are mined 
to some extent and sent to market, but will 
yield larger profits with the introdmstion of 
cheap coal, which has just begun. 



VIRGINIA. 



922 



VIRGINIA. 



Mines of learl and barj'tes have been opened 
at various places iu the Piedmont, which 
also abounds in manganese, plumbago and 
flre-clay. Several coal fields, extending in 
detached oval masses from near Richmond to 
the S. W., occupy depressions in the underly- 
ing granite. On the N. side of the James R. five 
seams of coal have been opened in this field, 
varying in thickness from -l]^ to 8 feet, giving 
an aggregate of more than 20 feet, as at Carbon 
Hill. 

In the Appalachian Country beds of anthra- 
cite coal have been found. 
In Wythe co., beyond New R., the outlying west- 
ern ranges of the Blue Ridge contain extensive 
deposits of lead and zinc ores, pronounced by 
competent authority to be of the best quality. 
Lead mines have there been worked to some 
extent and with fair profits for more than 100 
years. Fire-clay is also a prominent product 
of the Blue Ridge. At one place in Augusta co. 
it is used in the manufacture of Rockiughaui 
ware. 

In Washington and Smyth cos., on the North 
Fork of the Holstou ii., are extensive beds of 
Uypsum, or plaster-of-paris, which is exten- 
eively used as a fertilizer, especially upon the 
grass lands. 

In the same region are deposits of rock salt, 
that have been penetrated more than a hun- 
dred feet in sinking wells to supply brine to 
the extensive works at Saltville. The annual 
production there is very large. 

In Mercer and Scott cos. salt wells have been 
bored, which also yield a good article. 

Mineral springs in great variety, as sulphur, 
chalybeate and others are found in numei-ous 
localities in the great valley, and in the narrow 
valleys of the Appalachian ranges. The min- 
eral wealth of the Tide-water Country consists 
in its green sand and other marls that abound in 
all parts of it and are highly valued fertilizers. 
Agriculture. — Va. abounds in lands of the 
greatest fertility, and has but few and compar- 
atively small sections that are unfit for cultiva- 
tion. The great valley, the bottom-lands along 
the streams of the Middle Country, the valleys 
of the Appalachian, and the Tide-water Coun- 
try, have all a soil of unsurpassed productive- 
ness. Even the Blue Ridge is almost every wliere 
cultivable to the crest, and many well cultivated 
farms maybe seen in the highest parts of it. 
Only the crests of the Appalachian i-anges, the 
sandy water-sheds of the Middle Country and 
the swamps in the Tide-water Country are not 
adapted to the purposes of the farmer. The 
character of the soil, the early opening of 
spring, and their accessibility, have made the 
sea-board cos. the market garden for the large 
cities on the Atlantic coast, and already tlie 
products of a small portion of the country 
around Norfolk bring an annual return of over 
S'20,000,000. Kspecially is this region noted for 
the production of peaches, pears and straw- 
berries, and the fig thrives also and bears abun- 
dantly. 

In 1870 there were in the state 73,849 farms, 
of which '.>G,i!9t) had from 100 to 50i) acres ; 17,208 
from 50 to 100 acres, and 16,891 from 20 to 50 
acres. The farms included 8,165,010 acres (or 
33.23 per cent, of the area of the state) of im- 
proved land ; 8,294,731 acres of woodland, and 
1,686,137 acres of unimproved land. The farms 
had a cash value of $213,020,845, and the agri- 
cultural implements of $4,924,036. The total 
amount of wages paid was $9,7.53,041, and the 
estimated value of all farm productions, in- 
cluding improvements and additions to stock, 
was $51,944,801. 

The products were 7,339 bush, of spring wheat, 
7,391,398 bush, of winter wheat, 582,264 bush, of 
rye, 17,619,304 bush, of Indian-corn, 6,857,555 
bush, of oats, 7,259 bush, of barley, 45,075 bush, 
of buckwheat, 1,293,853 busli. of Irish pot's, 865,- 
882 bush, of sweet pot's, 183 bales of cotton, 37,- 



086,364 lbs. of tobacco, 877,110 lbs. of wool, 6,979,- 
269 lbs. of butter, 71,743 lbs. of cheese, 130.750 
lbs. of flax, 245,093 lbs. of maple sugar, 505,239 
lbs. of honey, 329,155 gals, of sorghum molasses, 
and 199,883 tons of hay. 

The live stock had a value of $28,187,669, and 
comprised 152,899 horses, 26,903 mules and asses, 
188,471 milch cows, 45,987 working oxen, 277,285 
other cattle, 370,145 sheep, and 674,670 swine. 

Manufactures. — The manufacturing interests 
of Va. are second to its agriculture, and con- 
sist chiefly in fitting for use its farm produc- 
tions. In 1870 the state had 5,933 manufacturing 
establishments (against 5,385 iu 1860), which 
used 396 steam-engines of 8,410 horse-power, and 
2,229 water-wheels of 41,202 horse-power. The 
number of hands employed was 20,974. The 
wages paid amounted to $5,343,099 and the capi- 
tal invested to $18,455,400. The raw materials 
consumed in manufacturing had a value of 
$23,832,384, and the commodities produced of 
$38,364,322. 

The principal products of industrj% with their 
respective values, were flour and meal, $12,649,- 
276 ; chewing, smoking and snuffing tobacco, 
$6,935,249; sawed lumber, $2,111,055; forged and 
rolled iron, $1,994,146 ; iron blooms, $222,700 ; nails 
and spikes, $350,000 ; iron pigs, $619,820 ; iron cast- 
ings (not specified), $755,794 ; cotton goods, $1,- 
435,800; carpentering and building, $1,020,930; 
boots and shoes, $638,534 ; and agricultural im- 
plements, $403,45/. 

Commerce and Railroads. — Although Va. has 
in her commodious harbors and deep estuaries 
great facilities for commerce and shipping, its 
direct trade witli foreign countries is not great. 
It has seven custom-house districts or ports of 
entry, as Alexandria, Cherrj'stone, Norfolk and 
Portsmouth, Petersburgh, Richmond, Tappa- 
hannock and Yorktown. Their commercial 
fleet comprised, in 1872, 900 sailing vessels of 
17,538 tons, 67 steam vessels of 5,812 tons and 159 
unrigged vessels of 9,951 tons. The goods im- 
ported from foreign countries had a total value 
of $:532,701, and the domestic goods exported to 
foreign countries of $3,521,137. 

The railroads of the state in 1341 had a length 
of 223 mis.; in 1851, 520 mis.; in 1861, 1,379 mis., 
and in 1872, 1,537 mis. The principal lines are 
the Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio R. R., organized 
in 1870 by the consolidation of the Norfolk & 
Petersburgh R. R. (81 mis.) ; the South Side 
R. R., from Petersburgh to Lynchljurgh (123 
mis.), and the Virginia & Tennessee R. R., from 
Lynehburgh to Bristol (204 mis.); the Chesa- 
peake & Ohio R. II., from Richmond, Va., to 
Huntington, W. Va., on the Ohio R. (427J^ mis., 
of which 315 mis. were in operation In 1873) ; the 
Orange, Alexandria & Manassas R. R., from 
Alexandria to Lynehburgh, from Manassas to 
Harrisonburgh, with branches to VVarrenton 
and to Front Royal (2921.^ mis.); the Petersburgh 
R. R., from Petersburgh to Weldon, N. C, and 
from llicksford to Gaston, N. C. (82 mis.) ; the 
Richmond & Danville R. R. (i54iJ^ mis.); the 
Richmond, Fredericksburgh & Potomac R. R. 
(86 mis.); the Richmond & Petersburgh R. K. 
(25 mis.); the Sealjoard & Roanoke R. R., from 
Portsmouth to Weldon, N. C. (80 mis.), and the 
Washington & Ohio R. 11.. from Alexandria to 
Hamiltoii (44 mis.). 

Tlie .James River and Kanawha Canal is the 
oldest internal improvement in the state, and 
is at present completed from Richmond to Bu- 
chanan, beyond Lynehburgh. ^Vhen com- 
pleted to the Ohio R., as it will be at no distant 
day, this canal must become one of the great 
commercial highways of the country, as it will 
bring the magnificent harbor of Norfolk 293 
mis. nearer to all places on the Mississippi R., 
aliove its junction with the Illinois R., than 
New York is by the present routes, thus giving 
the N. VV. a water route through Va. to the sea- 
board much shorter than the one by the lakes 
and the Jirie Canal to New Y'ork.

Wealth, Taxation and Debt. — The total assessed 
value of taxable propei'tv in Va. was, In 1870, 
$385,439,917, of which $279,il(i,017 were for real 
estate and !jsS6,3i3,900 for personal estate. The 
true, or estimated, value, however, was $409,- 
583,133, against ,$793,'249,(iSl in IStJO and $430,701,082 
In 1850, which last two sums include the value 
of property in W. Va. 

The total, not national, taxation in 1870 was 
$4,613,798. Of this sum i82,847,635 were for the 
state, $842,0ii9 for the counties, and $924,094 for 
towns and cities. 

The public debt in 1870 amounted to $55,921,255, 
includmg $39,298,225 bonded state debt, $8,092,614 
other state debt, $1,365,766 county debts, and 
$7,163,650 town and city debts. The amount of 
state debt on September 30, 1872, was $45,718,112. 

Education, etc. — Va. had, until recently, no 
system of public free schools. In March, 1870, 
the first State Superintendent of Public In- 
struction was appointed, and the new school 
bill became a law in July the same year. Be- 
fore tlie end of the first scholastic year, 1871, 
the number of schools had increased to 2,900, 
with about 130,469 pupils and 3,000 teachers. 
There is now every prospect that Va. will 
Steadily progess on the road begun, and at no 
distant day will offer to her growing popula- 
tion a system of thorough instruction. 

Before 1860 the state had 23 colleges with 2,824 
Students, which were mostly closed during the 
war, a part of the buildings being burned and 
others used as hospitals or barracks. The Col- 
lege of "William and Mary, at Williamsburgh, 
was chartered in 1693. The buildings were des- 
troyed during the war ; but in the fall of 1865 
the college was re-opened, and in 1871 it had 12 
professors and 76 students. Washington and 
Lee University, at Lexington, was founded in 
1782, and had, in 1871, 22 professors and 305 stu- 
dents. The University of Virginia, in Albe- 
marle CO., founded in 1825, was a flourishing 
institution in 1860, when it had 600 students. 
This number had diniinished to less than 50 in 
1863, but in 1871 it had 317 students and 19 teach- 
ers. Provision has been made by the Legisla- 
ture for the admission of one student from 
each senatorial district, without payment of 
fees and rents. 

The Press of the state consisted, in 1870, of 114 
papers with an annual circulation of 143,804, of 
which 16 were dailies, 7 tri-weeklies, 8 semi- 
weeklies, 69 weeklies, 4 semi-monthlies and 10 
monthlies. 

Oovernmenl. — Va. framed a state constitution 
in July, 1776, and ratified the United States 
constitution in June, 1788. In 1861 the state of 
W. Va. was formed and set off from the old 
commonwealth. A new state government was 
instituted in 1863 at Alexandria. A convention 
Avhich m.et in February, 1864, abolished slavery. 
In May, 1865, a provisional Governor was ap- 
pointed by the President of the United States. 
In December, 1868, a convention met at Rich- 
mond and framed a constitution which was 
adopted in July, 1869. The state was admitted 
to representation in Congress January 26, 1S70. 

Every male citizen of the United States 21 
years of age, who shall have been a resident of 
the state for twelve months and of the co., city 
or tn. in which he shall offer to vote, three 
months next preceding any election, shall be 
entitled to vote. 

The chief executive power of the common- 
wealth is vested in a Governor, who holds the 
Office for the term of four years, to commence 
on the first day of January next succeeding 
his election. The Governor is elected by the 
voters of the state at the times and places of 
choosing members of the General Assembly ; 
must be a citizen of tlie United States, and, if 
of foreign birth, must have been a citizen of 
the United States for ten years next preceding 
his election. He must have attained the age of 
thirty years, and must have resided in the 



state three years next jtreceding his election. 
A Lieutenant-Governor is elected at the same 
time and for the same term as the Governor, 
and Ills qualification and the manner of his 
election must be the same. The Seci-etary of 
the Commonwealth, Treasurer and Auditor of 
Public Accounts are elected by the joint vote 
of the two houses of the General Assembly, 
and continue in office for the terra of two years. 
There is a Board of Public Works, consisting 
of the Governor, Auditor and Treasurer. 

The legislative power is vested in the Gen- 
eral Assembly, which consists of a Senate and 
House of Delegates. The House of Delegates 
is elected biennially by the voters of the sev- 
eral cities and cos., and consists of 138 mem- 
bers. The Senate is elected for the terra of 
four years, and consists of 43 Senators, repre- 
senting the 40 districts into which the state is di- 
vided. The General Assembly meets annually, 
and no session continues longer than 90 days 
without the concurrence of three-fifths of the 
members elected to each House, in which case 
the session may be extended for not more than 
30 days longer. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court of Appeals, Circuit Courts and County 
Courts. The Court ot Appeals consists of five 
judges, any three of whom may hold a court. 
It has appellate jurisdiction only, except in 
cases of habeas corpus, mandamus and prohi- 
bition. It has no jurisdiction in civil cases 
where the matter in controversy is less than 
$500, except in controversies concerning the 
title and boundaries of land, etc. The jutlges 
are chosen by the joint vote of the two houses 
of the General Assembly and hold tlieir office 
for a term of twelve years. The state is di- 
vided into sixteen judicial circuits, for each of 
which a judge is chosen by tlie joint vote of the 
two liouses of the General Assembly for a term 
of eight years. A Circuit Court is lield at least 
twice a year ijy the judges of each circuit in 
every co. and eorpoi'ation thereof. In each co. 
of tlie commonwealth there is a County Court, 
which is held monthly by a judge learned in 
the law of the state and chosen for a term of 
six years. In each city or tn. containing a 
population of 5,000 there is elected liy the joint 
vole of the two houses of the General Assem- 
bly one City Judge, who holds a Corporation 
or" Hustings Court of said city or tn.

WASHINGTOBT, one of the western terri-

ca, on the E. by Idaho Ter., on the S. by Oreg., 
on the W. by the Pacific Ocean, on the N. W. by 
the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Canal de Haro 
and the Gulf of Georgia, which waters separate 
it from Vancouver's Island. It extends from 
45° 33' to 49° N. lat., and from 117° to 124° 41' W. 
long., and has an area of 69,994 sq. mis., or 44,796,- 
160 acres. 

Surface.— The Cascade Mts. intersect the ter- 
ritory from N. to S. and divide it into an east- 
ern and western portion. This lofty range 
forms an unbroken mountain belt of from 5,000 
to 8,000 feet in height above the sea, and bears 
a number of lofty peaks, as Mt. Baker in What- 
com CO. (10,719 feet), Mt. Rainier in Pierce co. 
(14,444 feet), Mt. Adams in Kiikitat co. (about 
9,000 feet), and Mt. St. Helens in Skamania co. 
(about 9,750 feet). The portion of the territory 
which lies W. of the Cascade Mts. consists of the 
basin of Puget Sound, a very fertile plain, which, 
is the northern continuation of the Willamette 
Valley of Oreg., having the same width and the 
same natural barriers ; the Cascade Mts. in the 
E. and the Coast Ranges in the W. The latter 
extend along the coast of the Pacific Ocean 
from the Columbia R. to the Strait of Juan de 
Fuca, and attain their highest elevation in Mt. 
Olympus, Jeflerson CO., which is estimated to be 
8,150 feet above the sea. Puget Sound extends 
for 280 mis. from N. to S. and lias a very irregu- 
lar outline. The main entrance into it from 
the Strait of Juan de Fuca is the Admiralty 
Inlet, between Jefferson co. and Whidb3''s Is- 
Island. Between the Canal de Haro and the 
Rosario Strait lie the San .Juan or Haro Islands, 
which were long claimed by Great Britain, but 
have recently been adjudged to belong to the 
United States by the Emperor of Germany, 
who had been invited by both governments to 
arbiti-ate their respective claims. The group 
includes the following islands: San Juan or 
Haro or Bellevue, Orcas, Lopez, Patos, Stuart, 
Waldron, John's, Speidens,Shaws, Blakeleyand 
Decatiir, besides some smaller ones. 

The portion of the territory which lies E. of 
the Cascade Mts. is mountainous in the N., but 
in the S. consists of the " Great Plains " of the 
Columbia R., Ij'ing between this stream and its 
tributary the Snake R. These plains extend.

receives its largest tril)utary, the Snake R. 
From the moutli of Walla Walla R., near the 
46th parallel, the Columbia flows W., breaking 
through the Cascade Mts. Below Fort Vancou- 
ver it receives the Willamette R. of Oregon, 
and turns X. as far as the mouth of the Cowlitz 
K., whence it flows again W., emptying through 
a wide estuary between Cape Disappointment 
and Point Adiims. The tributaries it receives 
from the Cascade Mts. are the outlet of Lake 
Chelan, the Pisquause R., the Yakima R., which 
joins it a short distance above the mouth of 
Snake R., the Klikitat R.; the Lewis R., which 
is formed bv the North and South branches; 
the Cowlitz R., which receives Toutle and Til- 
ton Rs., Strongs R. and Gray's R. 

The north-western part of Wash, is drained 
by numerous small streams, which empty into 
bays and inlets of the Pacifle Ocean. The Wil- 
lopah R. empties into the large Shoalwater B., 
X. of the mouth of tlie Columbia. The Cheha- 
lis R. rises 40 mis. N. E. of the mouth of the 
Columbia, in the Coast Ranges, runs E. for 15 
inls., receives the Newaukum R. and thence 
flows N. and X. W., emptying into Gray's Har- 
bor. The Xisqually R. rises S. of Mt. Rahiier, 
in the Cascade Mts., flows in a W. N. VV. direc- 
tion and empties into the southern extremity 
of Puget Sound, 11 mis. from Olympia. The 
Puyallup R. rises on the western slope of Mt. 
Rainier, and flowing parallel to the Xisqually 
R., through Pierce co., empties into Commence- 
ment B. of Puget Sound. The next river to the 
K. is the White, which empties into Elliott B. 
of Admiralty Inlet, and receives the Cedar R., 
■which drains Samamish and Washington lakes. 
The Snohomish R. joins the waters ot the Sound 
opposite Whidby's Island. Its upper course is 
called the Snoqiialmie R., which rises in a pass 
of the Cascade Mts., of .3.000 feet elevation. A 
small river, the Stalukwamish, intersects the 
northern part of Snohomi.sh co. and empties 
into Port Susan. The Skagitt R. drains a large 
portion of the Cascade Mts., has in the main W. 
S. W. course through AVhatcom co. and joins 
the Sound by two separate channels, 7 mis. 
apart. The most northerly of these sound 
rivers is the Xooksahk, or Lummi, which rises 
N. of Mt. Baker and empties into Bellingham 
and Lummi Bs. by separate channels. 

Climate and Vegetation.— Wiiah. has a much 
milder climate than the region in the same lati- 
tudes E. of the Rocky Mts. The mean annual 
temperature of the coast, the Puget Sound ba- 
sin and the vallevs of the Columlna an<l Snake 
Ks., is over 52°, and decreases to less than 44° 
toward the X. Meteorological observations 
made for several years at Fort Steilacum, in lat. 
47° 7' gave the following mean monthly tempera- 
tures: January, .3S°; February, 40.12^ ; March, 
41.12° ; April, 48.12° ; May. 5(;.10° ; June, (51° ; July, 
61.14°; August, t>4°; September, 56.14; October, 
52.10° ; November, 46° ; December, 38°. Thus 
the diiFerence between the coldest and hottest 
months of the year was but 26 degrees, and this 
equability characterizes the climate of the 
whole territory. The precipitation of moisture 
(rain and snow) is verv unequallv distributed. 
While the region W. of the Cascade Mts, re- 
ceives from 36 inches, near that range, to 80 
inches along the coast, an amount as great as 



that precipitated on the Mississippi Delta and 
southern Fla.,the region E. of the Cascade Mts. 
ranks aniong the most arid in tiie United States, 
where the rain-fall ranges from 12 inches, on 
the plains, to aljou't 20 and 24 inches in the more 
elevated districts. With regard, to health, the 
territory compares favoraljly with any portion 
of the country, being free from malarious dis- 
eases and in every waj" conducive to vigor and 
lono;evity. 

The Coast Ranges, the basin of Puget Sound 
and the western declivities of the Cascade Mts., 
including a few small prairie districts, are cov 
ered with dense forests of pines, flrs and ce 
dars. Maple, elm, ash and alder grow exclu 
sively along the streams. The arid region E. ot 
the Cascade Mts. is but moderately timbered, 
forests growing only among the mountains, 
while the extensive plains are covered with 
grasses and herbs. 

Population. — Wash, was settled by emigrants 
from the northern and western stales. In 1S<K), 
the population was 11,594, and in 1^70, 23,955, of 
whom 22,195 were whites, 207 colored, 234 Chi- 
nese and 1,319 Indians. The Indians sustaining 
tribal relations numbered 13,477. 

The natives of the United. States numbered 
18,931, including 6,932 natives of the territory ; 
those of foreign countries numbered .5,024, of 
whom 1,121 were born in British America, 645 in 
Germany, 791 in England, 1,047 in Ireland and 
309 in Scotland. 

In all classes of occupations there were en- 
gaged 9,760 persona, viz.: in agriculture, 3,771 ; 
in professional and personal services, 2,207 ; in 
trade and transportation, 1,129 ; in manufactures 
and mechanical and mining industries, 2,653. 

Minerals. — Gold is found on the Columbia R., 
especially in the N. E. corner of the territory. 
Coal of good quality has been dLscovered in 
various localities among the Coast Ranges, on 
the tributaries of the Columbia and on the 
small streams which empty into the Pacific 
Ocean. Very extensive coal fields occur near Bel- 
lingham B. and back of Seattle, on Lake Wash- 
ington . 

Agriculture. — The cultivable lands of Wash., 
though comprising but a small part of the 
total area, are sufficiently extensive to make 
agriculture the most important source of 
wealth. They are in the river bottoms and 
valleys and along the sea-coast, and consist 
chiefly of a sandy clay loam, which has been 
formed by the wash from the mountain sides. 
The average temperature of the three summer 
mo7iths (63 degrees) is sufficient to mature the 
earliest kinds of corn, to produce excellent po- 
tatoes and all kinds of root crops. The cool 
nights preclude the raising of the grape and the 
peach, but the apple, pear, plum and cherry 
bear regular and heavj- crops of the best quality. 
Small fruit of everj' description is also produced, 
in the greatest abundance. 

East of the Cascade Mts. the country is 
mostly unoccupied, the settlements being con- 
fined "to the Walla Walla, Columbia, Yakima 
and Palousc valle.ys, which contain large areas 
of good farm lands. 

In 1870 there were 3,127 farms in the territory, 
of which 889 had from 3 to 10 acres ; 415 from iO 
to 20 acres : 772 from 20 to 50 acres ; 424 from 50 
to 100 acres; 575 from 100 to 500 acres; 40 from 
500 to 1, (KM) acres, and 12 over 1,000 acres. The 
farms included 192,016 acres of improved land, 
291,206 acres of woodland and 105,917 acres of 
unimproved land, and their cash value was 
$3,97S,.341. The estimated value of all farm pro- 
ductions, including improvements and addi- 
tions to stock, was $2,111,902. There were pro- 
duced 18(!,180 bush, of spring wheat, 30,803 bush, 
of winter wheat, 4,453 bush of rye, 21,781 bush, 
of Indian-corn, 2.>.5,169 bush, of oats, 5.5,787 Imsli. 
of barley, 280,719 bush, of Irish poi's, 1.682 lbs. 
of tobacco, 162,713 lbs. of wool, 407,30i! lbs. of 
bntter, 6,162 lbs. of hops and 30,233 tons of hay.

The live stock had a value of $2,103,343, and 
comprised 11,138 horses, 913 mules and asses, 16,- 
938 milch cows, 2,181 working oxen, 28,135 other 
cattle, 44,063 sheep and 17,491 swine. 

^fanufacttlres. — Thechief products of industry 
of the territory are lumber and flour. In 1870 
it had 7 planing mills, producini^ planed lum- 
ber to the value of $616,100, anil 46 saw mills 
producing sawed lumber to the value of $1,307,- 
585. The yellow flr, which often grows 250 to 
300 feet high and from 6 to 7 feet thick, is most 
used for lumber, as it is strong and durable and 
hij-hly valued for ship-building. Masts for 
ships'maj- readily be obtained straight and free 
from knots, more" than 100 feet long. The mills 
Btand mostly on Puget Sound, within easy 
reach of tlie ships, which take the prepared 
lumber to San Francisco, the Sandwich Islands, 
Japan, China and Europe. 

There were, in 1870, 20 flouring and grist mills, 
turning out flour and meal to the value of 
$321,103. The total number of manufacturing 
establishments was 269, using 38 steam-engines. 
Of 1,411 horse-power and 52 water-wheels of 
1,412 horse-power. The hands employed num- 
bered 1,026, the capital invested in manufactur- 
ing amounted to $1,893,674, and the wages paid 
to $574,936. The materials consumed had a 
value of $1,435,128, and the commodities pro- 
duced of $2,851,052. 

Commerce and Railroads.— The foreign com- 
merce of Wash., consisting chiefly in the ex- 
portation of lumber, spars, piles, living ani- 
mals and flour, is extensive and is carried on 
through the ports of Puget Sound, which con- 
stitutes the only customs district of the terri- 
tory. In 1871 the imports from foreign countries 
had a value of $32,914 ; the exports of domestic 
commodities to foreign countries of $187^81, 
and of foreign conmiodities of $1,588. The 
commercial fleet owned in the territory con- 
sisted of 64 sailing vessels of 17,858 tons, 24 
steamers of 3,032 tons and 8 unrigged vessels of 
167 tons, making a total of 96 vessels of 21,058 
tons. 

The branch of the Northern Pacific R. R., 
from Puget Sound to Portland, Oreg., on the 
Columbia R., is the only railway of Wash. It 
runs from N. to S. through the Puget Sound 
basin, and is completed for a distance of 106mls. 

The Fisheries are destined to hold a promi- 
nent place among the business pursuits of the 
territory. Puget Sound, with its numerous 
Inlets, bays and straits, is the center of this 
interest. It abounds in salmon of large size 
and the finest quality. Halibut is next in im- 
portance. Cod-flsh are caught in various locali- 
ties of the Pacific coast by vessels owned on 
the sound. For a distance of 50 mis. from its 
mouth, the Columbia R. offers great facilities 
for salmon fishing. The variety of salmon 
known as the '^' Chinook" comes in countless 
numbers, and is taken but o, few hours re- 
moved from salt water. Five establishments 
on the river have canned nearly 2,000,000 pounds 
during the season of 1870. Shoalwater 15. fur- 
nishes large quantities of oj'Sters for the Pa- 
cific coast trade. 

Wealth and Taxation. — The assessed value of 
real estate was, in 1870, $5,146,776,and of person- 
al estate $5,496,087. The true or estimated value 
Of both kinds of propertv was $13,562,164 in 
1870, against $5,601,466 in 1860. The total, not 
national, taxation amounted to $163,992, of 
which $33,743 were territorial taxes, $119,291 
county taxes and $10,9.55 city and town taxes. 
Wash, has no territorial debt. 

Education. — By an amendatory act, approved 
July, 1851, there were reserved to the territo- 
ries of Wash, and Oreg. two townships of land. 
Of 36 sections each, to be selected for univer- 
sity purposes under the direction of the legis- 
latures of said territories respectively. At the 
session of 1860-61, the Legislative Assembly of 
Wash, located the university at Seattle, "and 



created a board of commissioners to locatfl 
lands, sell the same and contract for clearing 
and improving of the university site. 

According to the census, there were, in 1870, 
170 schools in Wash., with 85 male and 112 fe- 
male teachers and 5.499 pupils, of wliom 3,537 
attended school. The number of public com- 
mon schools was 154. The university had 1 
male professor and 3 female teachers ; 80 male 
and .59 female students. 

Gouej-Mmeni.— Wash., formerly a part of Oreg., 
was organized as a territory in March, 185,3. The 
Governor and Secretary are appointed by the 
President of the United States, and the Audi- 
tor and Treasurer are chosen under territorial 
authority. The Legislative Assembly consists 
of a Council and House of Representatives, and 
convenes annually on the first Monday in De- 
cember. The Council is composed of nine mem- 
bers, elected for three years, and the House of 
Representatives is composed of thirty mem- 
bers, elected for one year. 

The judicial power of the territorj' is vested 
in a Supreme Court, District Courts "and Justi- 
ces of the Peace. The Supreme Court consists 
of a Chief Justice and two Associate Justices, 
who hold their offices during a term of 4 years. 
One term of the Supreme Court is held annual- 
Ij' at the seat of government. For District 
Court purposes, the territorj^ is divided into 
three judicial districts, in each of which the 
Justices of the Supreme Court hold the sessions. 
For each of these districts a territorial Prose- 
cuting Attorney is elected by the people for a 
term of two years. 

Tlic territory is divided into the following 22 
counties: Chehalis, Clallam, Clarke, Cowlitz, 
Island, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Klikitat, Lewis, 
Mason, Pacific, Pierce, Skamania, Snohomish, 
Stevens. Tliurston, Wahkiakum, Walla Walla, 
Wliatcom, Whitman, Yakima. 

Olj-mpia is the territorial capital, and has a 
population of 1,203. The other places of import- 
ance are Seattle, Steilacoom City and Port 
Townsend.

"Washington, city, capital of the United 
States, territorial capital of the District of 
Columbia and co. seat of Washington co.; is 
situated on the N. bank of the Potomac R., 
between two tributaries of this stream known 
as Rock Cr. and the East Branch. It is the 
southern ternnnus of the Washington Branch 
of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R., 40 mis. S. of 
Baltimore, and the northern terminus of the 
Alexandria & Washington R. R., 7 mis. N. of 
Alexandria and 116 mis. N. of Richmond, Va. 
The distance from AVashington to Philadel- 
phia is 136 mis., to New York 226 mis. and to 
Boston 432 mis. 

The site of the city was chosen in 1790, prior 
to which date there was here neither settle- 
ment nor village. In 1793 George Washington 
laid the corner-stone of the Capitol ; in 1800 the 
seat of government was removed hither from 
Philadelphia, and twoyears later Washington 
was incorporated as a city. The area within 
the city limits is about 4i^ mis. long by 2}^ mis. 
wide, and includes over 11 sq. mis. 

The plan of the city was made under the 
direction of George Washington and laid out 
by Andrew Ellicott. The whole site is tra- 
versed by streets running E. and W. and by 
streets running N. and S., so as to divide it 
into rectangular blocks. The streets running 
N. and S. are numbered ; those running E. 
and W. are name<l alphabetically, A, B,C, etc., 
street. This general plot is again traversed 
by fifteen wiiie avenues, running diagonallv 
from the N. AV. to S. E. and from the N. E. to 
S. VV. They are named from the llfteen states 
existing when the site of the city was chosen. 
Four of these avenues and North, South, East 
and AVest Capitol streets, converge at the 
Capitol, and four other avenues converge at 
the President's Mansion. Pennsylvania Ave- 
nue, which connects the latter with the Capi- 



tol, is the most important thoroughfare Of 
the city. 

There is perhaps no city in the Union that 
has a more beautiful situation than AVashing 
ton. The portion of the eitj' fronting the 
river forms a level plain about 40 feet above 
tide-water, while the inland or N.E. part in- 
eludes rolling ground and picturesque hills, 
on the brow of one of which the National 
Capitol rears its proud and magnificent dome. 
Though situated at the head of navigation of 
a large stream, and having good railroad con- 
nections, Washington is not a commercial city, 
nor has it important manufacturing inter- 
ests. It derives its prominent position solely 
from being the seat of the National Govern- 
ment, the residence of the Chief Magistrata 
and of the numerous ofiicials and legislators 
who are entrusted by the American people 
with the administration and management of 
their public concerns. 

Public Buildinffs.— The principal and by far 
the largest of the public buildings is the 
Capitol. It was destroyed by the British army 
in 1814, and rebuilt during the next ten years. 
Two immense wings have been added, the 
corner-stone of which was laid by President 
Fillmore in 1851. The whole structure now 
is 751 feet long from N. to S., and 325 feet wide. 
The dome, rising in the center, is 241 feet 
above the top of the building, and 396 feet 4 
inches above the ground. The central por- 
tion of it (the old Capitol) is constructed of 
white sandstone, in the Renaissance style ; 
the two wings are built of white marble, In 
the Corinthian style. In the center is a ro- 
tunda 96 feet in diameter, the walls of which 
are ornamented with historical paintings 
and sculptures. The dome is surmounted by 
atholus, upon which stands a colossal statue 
of Freedom, in bronze, 18 feet high. On the 
first floor is the Law Library, tlie Folding 
Room of the House, the rooms for the Agri- 
cultural Committee, the Naval Atfairs Com- 
mittee, the Military AlTairs Committee, the 
heating apparatus, the restaurants, etc. The 
second'is the main floor, and contains the ro- 
tunda, the Library of Congress (with 250,000 
volumes), the old Hall of Representatives 
ami Senate Chamber, now the room for the 
Supreme Court, and in the wings the new 
Hall of Representatives and Senate Cliamber, 
besides committee rooms, reception rooms 
and numerous oflices. Notable among the 
many works of art which adorn tlie Capitol 
.are the picture of "AVestern Emigration," l)y 
Lentze ; the bronze door, by Crawford, at the 
eastern entrance to the Senate wing ; the 
statue of Franklin, by Powers ; the statue of 
Hancock, by Stone, and the picture of the 
"Battle of Chapultapec," by Walker. 

The Post-office Department was erected In 
1836 but has been greatly enlarged of late. It 
is a palatial Renaissance building with Corin- 
thian columns, balustrades and other details. 
It covers an entire square between Seventh 
anil Eighth streets and F and E streets, and 
is 300 feet long and 204 feet wide. 

The Patent Office stands opposite the pre- 
ceding, between Seventh and Ninth streets 
and F and G streets, and is 410 feet long and 
275 feet wide, inclosing a quadrangle of 2G5 by 
135 feet. It is built iirthe severe Doric style, 
and though quite plain is an imposing struc- 
ture. The lower stories are divided into ofli- 
ces, while the third story forms one saloon, 
running entirely .around the quadrangle, mea- 
suring 1,3.50 feet in length, and contains the 
collection of tlie models illustrative of the 
patents gi-anted liv the office. 

Till- I'risidcnt's" Mansion, often called the 
White House, is situated nearly midway be- 
tween the Capitol and Georgetown, l^ mle. 
from the former. It is 170 feet long and 86 feet 
wide, and is constructed of sandstone, paint-

ed white, in the Ionic order of architecture. 
The building stunds in a beautifully laid out 
park or garden, and commands fine views 
down the rotomac 11. to Alexandria and Fort 
Washington. A statue of Jelferson stands on. 
the lawn N. of the building. 

The War and Navy Departments are W. of 
the President's Mansion and inclosed within 
the same grounds. The former fronts on 
PennsylvaniaAvenue and Seventeenth Street, 
and S. of it stands the latter. Both are plain 
but commodious, and will doubtless be re- 
placed by more Imposing structures. 

The Treasury Department stands on Fif- 
teenth Street, between Pennsylvania Avenue 
and G Street. It was commenced in 1836. It 
is built on the Ionic stj'le, is 4G6 feet long, ex- 
elusive of the portico, and 206 feet wide, and 
is, next to the Capitol, the largest and most 
elegant structure in the Union. Tlie building 
Incloses three courts, each 130 feet square. 
The interior arrangements are admirable and 
the crnamentatioH impressive, and through- 
out ir^ the most refined taste. The Cash Room, 
or Banking House, is especially worthy of 
mention, as being two stories high, entirely 
incased in rich marble and ornamented with 
columns, those of the lower story of white 
Tennessee marble and those of the upper 
story of Carrara marble. 

The City Hall stands at the junction of 
Louisiana and Indiana avenues and at the 
head of Four-and-a-half Street. It is but par- 
tially completed and measures 200 feet in

One of tlie most famous scientific institu- 
tions of the country is the United States Coast 
Survey, which occupies several large, but 
plain, brick structures at the corner of New 
Jersey Avenue, two blocks S. of the capitol 
grounds. Here are the maps of the harbors 
and coasts of the United States, reduced 
from original surveys, and beautifully en- 
graved on coiiper. An able corps of military 
and naval officers and of civil engineers, 
draftsmen and scientific men perform the 
various labors. The present superintendent 
is the renowned mathematician, B. F. Pierce, 
who succeeded Professor A. D. Bache. 

The Corcoran Gallery of Art is situated at 
the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Sev- 
enteenth Street, and contains on the second 
floor a fine collection of paintings. The build- 
ing and the art treasures are the gift of the 
wealthy banker, W. H. Corcoran. 

The e'questrian statues of Jackson and of

"WEST VIRGINIA, one of the middle states; 

is bounded on the N. by Pa. and Md., on the E. 

and S. by Va. and on the W. by Ohio and Ky. It 

extends from 37° 6' to 39^ 37' N. lat. .and from 77° 

43' to 82^-33' W. long. Its area is estimated to 

be 23,000 sq. mis., or 14,720,000 acres. The Ohio R. 



separates it from Ohio, the Potomac R. from 
Md., the Big Sandy R. from Ky. and several 
ranges of the Appalachian Mts. from "Va. 

Surface. — W. "Va. is elevated throughout and 
mostly mountainous. The south-eastern part 
of the state is traversed by mountain ranges, 
trending from the N. E. to S. W., and corres- 
ponds to the " Appalachian Country " of Va. 
Great Flat Top Mt. extends to the S. E. bound- 
ary of McDowell, Wyoming and Raleigh cos., 
and terminates on the western bank of the 
Great Kanawha R. It gives rise to the Big 
Sandy R. and projects several spurs in a north- 
westerly direction, as Cagey's Ridge, Barker's 
Ridge, Great Cherry Pond Sit. and other8. The 
Great Peters Mt. separates Mercer and Monroa 
COS. from "Va. The principal range of the Alle- 
ghanjf Mts. trends along the S. SV. border of 
Greenbrier and Pocahontas cos., and then con- 
tinues its N. E. trend to the banks of the upper 
course of the Potomac R. The part of the state 
lying E. of this range is intersected by a series 
of parallel mountains, inclosing narrow and 
exceedingly fertile valleys, which are drained 
by affluents of the Potomac. The most impor- 
tant of these ranges are the New Creek Mt., 
Patterson (reek Mt., the Middle Ridge, bound- 
ing the valley of the South Branch of the Po- 
tomac R. on the W., and the Great North Mt., 
forming the eastern boundary of Hardy and 
Hampshire cos. The cos. of Berkeley and Jef- 
ferson include the most northern section of the 
Shenandoah Valley and form the eastern ex- 
tremity of the state. West of the principal 
range of the Alleghany Mts. are the Greenbrier 
Mt., Rich Mt.andlthe several ridges which sepa- 
rate the source streams of the Cheat R., as the 
Middle Mt., Shavers Jit. and others. 

The western part of the stiite is a rolling table- 
land, gently sloping down from 2,.500 feet in the 
E. to 900 feet on the banks of the Ohio R., and 
may be termed the Trans-Appalachian Coun- 
trj'. It is intersected by tributaries of the Ohio 
R., which have eroded deep valleys, in many 
places a thousand feet below the general pla- 
teau level, so that navigable waters' deeply 
penetrate into it. The bottom-lands of these 
valleys are of wonderful fertility, while the up- 
lands are either well timbered or covered with 
beautiful meadow lands, well adapted to gra- 
zing and dairying. The Trans-Appalachian 
Country is traversed hy several broad-topped 
ranges, asGauley Mt., Kanawha Ridge, Guyan- 
dotle Mt. and Alum Mt. 

Rivers.— The two principal streams of W. Va. 
are the Ohio and Potomac. Both flow along its 
borders and drain the state with numerous 
affluents. The South Branch of the Potomac 
traverses a highly picturesque and fertile valley 
between the Patterson Creek Mt. and Branca 
Mt. The tributaries of the Potomac are New 
Cr., Patterson Cr., the Little and Great Cacapon 
Rs., Rock Cr., Opequan Cr. and the Shenandoah 
R. The Monongahela and Cheat Rs. drain the 
northern cos. of the state and unite in Pa. The 
other tributaries of the Ohio are Fishing Cr., 
Middle Island Cr., the Little Kanawha R., 
which empties near Parkersburgh, the Great 
Kanawha R., which empties near jMt. Pleasant, 
and the Guyandotte R. The Big Sandy R. and 
its eastern branch, the Tug Fork, form the west- 
ern boundary of W. Va. 

The Climale of W. Va. is similar to that of the 
Piedmont Country of Va., and the mean annual 
temperature varies between 52 and 54 degrees. 
Rain falls in all seasons of the year and in suffi- 
cient quantity to support a luxuriant vegeta- 
tion. It amounts to from 40 to 45 inches per 
annum. 

Popitlalion.—SV. Va. was, until 1861, a part of 
Va. In 1870 it had 442,014 inhabitaiits, of whom 
424,033 were white .and 17,980 coloreil. The na- 
tives of the United States numberetl 442,014, of 
whom 381,296 were born in the state, 1.5,497 in 
Pa., 12,164 in Ohio, 1,359 in N. Y., 7,323 iu Md. and

WEST VIRGINIA. 



2,288 in Ky. The foreipni born population 
amounted to 17,0i)l, of whom 207 were natives 
of British America, 6,'23'2 of Germany, 1,811 of 
Engrland, 6,83'2 of Ireland, 746 of Scotland and 321 
of Wales. 

The population of 10 years of ase and over 
numbered 30S,4'24, and in all classes of occupa- 
tions wore ciiLTafjred ll."),-2-2:i jiersons, viz : "3,!)00in 
agriculture, lt;,i;;H) in professional and personal 
services, G,8".»7 in trade and ti-ansportatiou and 
17,673 in manufactures and mechanical and min- 
inp industries. 

Minerals and iiining.—W. Va. is esiiecially 
lieh in cannel, splint and bituminous coal, one 
or more of these varieties being found under- 
lying over 15,000 sq. mis. of territory, which be- 
long to the great Appalachian coal fleld, an ir- 
regular oval area, extending from northern Pa. 
to northern Ala.— in t he gorge of New R. — on the 
line of tlie Chesapeake & Ohio R. K., a canyon 
from l,-200 to 1,500 feet below the general level 
of the country. The lower coal measures have 
an exposed thickness of some 50 feet, and include 
a seam of ^ood coal of 6 feet. At many other 
localities seams of coal appear exposed in the 
blutfs and hill slo)ies, clearly showing the vast 
amount of this imlisiicnsabrc mineral underly- 
ing the state. Moreover, the coal beds are so 
accessible as to require no special skill in min- 
ing nor expenditure for drainage and ventila- 
tion. On the Little Kanawha U. are some of 
the most productive oil wells in the country, 
and millions of gallons are annually exporteil 
from them. In the .same region is miiied a solidi- 
fied petrokMim, highly valued for the manufac- 
ture of lubricating oils. 

This region is also underlaid by salt-bearing 
rocks; and artesian wells, which have been 
sunk at various points, especially on the navi- 
gable streams, produce u brine from which 
large quantities of salt are manufactured. On 
the (ireat Kanawha above Charleston, from 
'2,000,000 to 3,000,000 bushels of tlie verv best salt 
are annually turned out. One establishment, 
the Snow Hill, producing half a million bushels, 
that gives a bushel of salt to forty-flvc gal- 
lons from nine wells between 800 aiid 000 feet 
deep, ami mines the coal to evaporate it from 
the liills that overlook the works. Bromine is 
made from the waste at the same point. Iron 
ores, lire clay, valuable building materials, es- 
pecially saiulstones, as well as good glass- 
making sands, abound in many parts of the 
state. 

Ayricidliire. — W. Va. has an abundance of the 
most fertile laiuls, especially in the numerous 
river valleys, anil agriculture has heretofore 
been and still is the most important pursuit of 
the inhabitants. In 1870 it had 30,778 farms, of 
which 3,734 measured between 3 and 10 acres, 
0,501 lietween 10 ami '20 acres, 13,158 between '20 
and 50 acres, 0,077 between 50 ami 100 acres, 7,813 
between 100 and .500 acres, ami '242 between 500 
antl 1,000 acres. The farms ineluiled •2,.580,'2.54 
acres of improved land (17.53 pi^r cent, of the

of consumption and the exportation of flour, 
iron, salt, coal anil coal oil and other products. 
The principal railroad lines of the state are tho 
Baltimore it Ohio 11. 11., the main line of which 
intersects it from the Jld. line to Wheeling 
(150 mis.), and from which tite Parkersburgh 
IJraneh turns otT at Grafton (00 mis.) ; tho

Education, Press, etc. — In pursuance of a re- 
quirement of the new constitution, a system 
of public schools has been inangnrated, which 
has already made good progress, and promises 
to provide educational facilities for all the 
children of the state. A permanently invested 
school fund has lieen created, which, in 1872, 
amounted to $2.56,300. This fund will be in- 
creased from certain sources set apart by act 
of the legislature, and the interest derived 
from it will lighten the state and local tax 
levies for school purposes. A State Superin- 
tendent of Free Schools is elected biennially 
by the Legislature, and in each countj- there is 
a county superintendent, who examines teach- 
ers, visits schools within his county and I'e- 
ports annually to the State Superintendent. 
There were, in" 187'2, 2,479sehools and 2,216 school- 
houses, which had cost $1, ■236,104. The number 
of children of school age (from 6 to '20 years) 
was 170,0;r), Vint of these only 85,765, or about one 
half, attended school. 

The three normal schools (at Huntington, 
Fairmount and West Liberty) are In successful 
oiieration. The normal school at Huntington, 
called " Marshall College," was attended in

Oovernment. — W. Va. formed part of the com- 
monwealth of Va. lentil the latter seceded from 
the Union. In June, 1861, delegates from 39 cos. 
assembled at Wheeling to protest against the 
act of secession, and to organize a provisional 
government. Another convention met in Au- 

fust, 18iJl, and passed an ordinance providing 
or an election to bo held in October to decide 
upon the question of organizing a new state 
to be called the " State of Kanawha," embrac- 
ing 39 of the western cos. of Va. The constitu- 
tion of the new state was ratified by the peo- 
ple in May, 1862. Congress passed an act, ad- 
mitting tlie state on condition of the ailoption 
of certain amendments to the constitution. 
These changes were matle and ratified by the 
people, and on April 20, 1863, the President of 
United States declared, by proclamation, that 
the new constitution should take effect in 60 
days from that date. In March, 1S()6, the cos. of 
Jefferson and Berkeley were recognize-d by 
Congress as annexed to the state of W. Va. 
Another convention was held, and the new con- 
stitution agreed upon in April 1872 was ratified 
in August. 

The male citizens of the state are entitled to 
vote at all elections held within the counties 
in which they reside, except persons who have 
not resided "in the state for one year, and in 
the county in which they offer to vote, for 60 
days next preceding an election. 

The legislative power is vested in a Senate 
and House of Delegates, which are styled, 
" the Legislature of W. Va." The Senate is 
composed of 24 members, one-half of whom are 
elected biennially for the term of 4 years. The 
House is composed of Co Delegates, who are 
elected for two years. 

The Executive Department consists of a Gov- 
ernor, Secretary of Slate, State Superintendent 
of Free Schools, Auditor, Treasurer and Attor- 
ney General, who is ex-officio Reporter of the 
Court of Appeals. These officers ai-e elected by 
the legal voters of the state for a term of four 
years, commencing on March 4th next after 
their election. 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court of Appeals and in Circuit Courts and the 
judges thereof: in County and Corporation 
Courts and in Justices of the Peace. The Su- 
preme Court is composed of four judges, who 
are elected by the voters of the state for the 
term of twelve years. It has original jurisdic- 
tion in cases of habeas corpus, mandamus and 
prohibition, and appellate jurisdiction in civil 
cases wliere the matter in controversy exceeds 
$100 in value, exclusive of costs ; in contro- 
versies concerning the title or boundaries of 
land, probate of wills, the appointment or quali- 
fication of a personal representative, guarelian, 
committee or curator, or concerning a mill, 
roadway, ferry or landing, or the right of a 
corijoration or county to levy taxes. It has ap- 
pellate jurisdiction 'in criminal cases where 
there has been a conviction for felony or mis- 
demeanor in a Circuit Court, and where a con- 
viction has been had in any inferior court and 
been afflrined in a Circuit Court. The state is 
divided into nine circuits, for each of which a 
judge is elected by the voters thereof, who 
holds his office for a term of eight yeai-s. A 
circuit court is held in every county twice a 
year. The Circuit Courts have the supervision 



of all proceedings before the County Courts and 
other inferior tribunals, and with certain ex- 
ceptions have original and general jurisdiction, 
of all matters at law where the amount in con- 
troversy exceeds $50. They have appellate ju- 
risdiction in all cases of judgments, decrees 
and final orders rendered by the County Court 
where the matter in controversy exceeds $20 in 
value. 

In each county there is ji County Court, which 
is composed of a President and two .Justices of 
the Peace. It holds six sessions during the 
year. The President is elected by the voters 
of the county for four years. Each county is 
laid off into districts, not less than three nor 
more than ten in number, in each of which ono 
or two Justices of the Peace are elected by tlio 
voters thereof for four years.

low Pittsbtirgh and 379 mis. by rail W. by N. 
of IJaltiMiorc. Tho city occupies an alluvial 
plain cxtentling some three miles along the 
K. and .shut in on the east by hills. It is sub- 
stantially built, but not prepossessing in ap- 
pearance owing to the large use of bitumin- 
ous coal in its manufactories. It is advan- 
tageously situated for river commerce, and 
in 187'2 its commercial fleet numbered 136 ves- 
sels witli a capacity of 14,000 tons. Its situa- 
tion for inland commerce is equally eligible, 
being at the N. W. terminus of the "Wheeling 
Division of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R., at W. 
terminus of Wheeling & Pittsburgh (Hemp- 
fleld) R. R., and connected by a beautiful wire 
suspension bridge over the Ohio with Bridge- 
port, a station on tlie River Division of the 
Cleveland & Pittsburgh R. R. The surround- 
ings are rich in coal-bearing and petroleum 
formations, and mining is an important in- 
terest. The contiguity of the coal-flelds 
adapts the city for a manufacturing center, 
and in industries of tliis class it occupies a 
prominent position. The total number of 
manufacturing establishments in ISTOapproxi- 
niated '270, employing 7,000 horse-power, near- 
ly 4,000 hands and a capital of .t4,000,0()0, pay- 
ing $-2,000,000 in wages, using material to tlie 
extent of .$fj,500,000, and turning out an annual 
product of $10,500,000. The range of manu- 
factured articles is wide, covering iron in all 
its varieties, nails, glassware, cotton goods, 

• wire, flour, woollen goods, machinery, silk 
goods, white lead, etc. Wheeling became the 
CO. seat in 1797, It was tlie capital of the state

WISCONSIN is bounded on the W. by Minn, 
and Iowa, on the S. by 111. and on the X. W. by 
the northern peninsula of ;Micli. With the ex- 
ception of the southern border, which follows 
nearly the 43d parallel of X. lal., the limits are 
mostly determined by rivers and lakes, I^akc 
Superior bordering it on the X., the Montreal 
and Blenomonee Rs. (with a line eonnecting 
their sources) on the N. E., Lake Michigan on 
the E. and the Mississippi and St. Cioix Rs. on 
the W. The greatest length from N. to S. is 302 
mis.; the width varies from 146 nils, to 2.58 nils. 
The area is .53.924 sq. mis., or 34,511,360 acres. 

Surface. — Wis. has no lofty mountain i-anges, 
but its surface is consideralil.y diversified. The 
northern section of the state is the highest, 
and from thence the surface gradually descends 
toward the S. E. and S. W. Lake Superior is 
627 feet, and Lake IMichigan 57S feet above the 
sea-level. The Mississippi R., as far as it 
skirts Wis., is but little higher than l>ake jMichi- 
gan, viz.: 24\4 feet at Prairie du Chien, 55 feet 
at La Ci-osse and 99 feet at the mouth of the St. 
Croix R. A line crossing the state frcnn l>ake 
Michigan to the Slississipjii, near the southern 
boundary, is but little more than 1,000 feet 
above the sea-level, or 500 feet above the lake, 
while the highest ground in the U'lrlheru part 
Of the state nowhere reaches 1,800 feet. The

Trap Range, which extends westward from 
Kewenaw Point, rises in the Porcupine Mts to 
a height of 1,380 feet. Thus the greatest eleva- 
tions near Lake Superior are less than 1,000 feet 
above the surface near the southern border of 
the state. This comparatively great height, 
attained so near the lake, gives a gentle incli- 
nation of the country to the southward, which 
will be more evident on observing the course 
of the principal rivers. Receding from the 
hilly country bordering Lake Superior, tlie 
wliole of this northern central region is a vast

200 01-300 feet above the general surface of the 
country. It is everywhere wooded, excepting 
the small areas which are occupied by swamps" 
On the S. and W. of this great plateau, and 
liinited by the Wisconsin R. on the S. and the 
bt. Croix on the N., is a broad belt of country 
occupied by the lower sandstone formation. 
Its varieties of surface are mainly due to the 
denuding action of the streams, which have 
cut their channels deeply into the underlying 
^'?'''*^!- ..J'^® highest points of this belt are 
about 500 or 600 feet above Lake MSchio-an On 
approaching the Mississippi and AVisconsiii Rs., 
Where the sandstone rises in steep slopes or 
abrupt cliffs, the plains are very productive, 
and the slopes may be converted into vine- 
yards. 

To the E. and S. E. of the northern central 
region the surface is covered by the drift ma- 
terials of the N. The eastern side of the state 
presents a remarkable feature in the great val- 
ley, parallel to Lake Michigan, and in part oc- 
cupied by Green B., the I'ox R. as far as Lake 
^^ inne^aga and thence by Lake Horicon and 
Rock R. Eastward of this valley extends a

and widening toward the lake.

cool, though not severe, and coraparativelvfree 
from sudden changes. The southern part, em- 



bracing about one-third of the whole state, 
has a mean annual temperature of from 44° to 
47 . In the northern part the mean annual 
temperature sinks down to about 41°. The 
summers are short ; the winters long and dry 
-the average temperature of winter is 20° of 
spring and fall 47° and of summer 72°. The an- 
nual ram-lall varies from 30 to 31 inches, and is 
nearly equal throughout the state. Snow gen- 
erally falls before the ground is frozen and pro- 
tects the plants and crops from the seve- c win- 
ter irosts. 

The extensive forests which cover the r orth- 
ern and larger portion of the state vield excel- 
lent timber, and are a chief source of wealth of 
the state. They consist of basswood, maplo, 
hickory, elm, ash, black walnut, butternut, oak 
birch, poplar, hemlock, cedar and pine. The 
southern part of the state is an extensive prai- 
rie, without native tree or shrub, except on the 
banks of the streams. 

^^^opulalion.- The settlement at Green Bay, 
made in 1669 by the French, was the first within 
the limits of the state, and for a considerable 
period remained the only one. But of late the 
growth has been very rapid. In 1840 the popu-

The farms included 5,899,343 acres of improved 
land, 3,437,442 of woodland and 2,378,536 of unim- 
proved hind. The cash value of farms was $300,- 
414,0()4, and of farm implements $14,239,364. Tiie 
amount of wages paid wa-s $S,186,110, and the to- 
tal, estimated, value of farm productions, in- 
cluding a<lditions to stock and improvements, 
was $73,027,032. 

The productions were : Spring wheat, 24,375,4.35 
bush.; winter wheat, 1,230,909 bush.; rye, 1,325,- 
294 bush.; Indian-corn, 1.5,033,998 bush.; oats, 20,-

The live stock had a value of $45,310,882, and 
comprised 252,019 horses, 4,195 mules and asses, 
308,377 milch cows, 53,615 working oxen, 331,302 
other cattle, 1,069,282 sheep and 512,778 swine. 

The vast forests of the state support a very 
extensive lumbering business, especially in the 
northern and western counties. The pineries 
of Marathon, Chippewa, Clark, Wood and St. 
Croix furnish millions of feet of lumber. The 
forest products in 1S70 had a value of $1,327,618. 

3IanHfaclu7-es.— The manulTieturing industry 
of Wis. is steadily increasing, and in 1870 the 
state occupied the 13th place in the Union with 
regard to the value of manufacturing products. 
There were 7,013 establishments (against 3,064 
in 1860), which used 926 steam-engines of 30,.5()9 
horse-power, and 1,288 water-wheels of .33,714 
horse-power. The number of hands emploved 
was 43,910 ; the amount of wages paid, $13,575,"642, 
and the capital invested, $41,981,872. The mate- 
rials consumed had a value of $45,8.51,266, and 
the commodities produced, of $77,214,326. 

The principal products,with their respective 
values, were : Agricultural implements, $2,393,- 
428; boots and shoes, $2,271,428; carriages and 
wagons, $2,.59(;,534 ; men's clothing, $2,260,004 ;

lumber, $15,129,S69; sash, doors and blinds, $1,- 
852,379, and woollen goods, $1,115,646. 

Commerce and Jiailrondx.—'Wis. possesses ex- 
cellent commercial facilities in the navigable 
waters that surround it on nearly all sides, and 
the rivers that intersect It, as the Wisconsin, 
Fox and Chippewa lis. There are exported 
from the ports on Lake Michigan, especially 
from Milwaukee, large quantities of grain, 
flour and lumljcr. The foreign commerce, how- 
ever, of the state is small ; the exports and im- 
ports amounting in 1872 to only $1,,595,079. 

The flrst railroad was built in 1850. Ten years 
later the railroad mileage was 905 ; in 1870, 1,52.5, 
and in 1872, 1,878. The principal lines are the 
Milwaukee & St. Paul R. K., which, with its 
various branches, has a length of l,39(i mis,; the 
Mineral Point 11. R., from Mineral Point to 
Warren, III., with a branch from Calamine to 
Platteville, (51 mis.); the Sheboygan & Fond du 
Lac R. R„ (80 mis.); the West Wisconsin R. R., 
from Klroy to St. Paul, Minn. (197 mis.); and 
the Wisconsin Central R. R., from Menasha to 
Ashland (260 mis.), with branches from Mena- 
sha to Appleton City and from Stevens Point 
to Portage City. 

Wealth, 'J'lixalionand Debt.— The Hfisesseil v.aln- 
ation in l.s7ll, of real <'state, was $252,322,107, and 
of personal estate, $'''i),ss7,73l, making a total for 
both kinds of pro]ierty of $333,299,838. The es- 
timated or true value of the same, however, 
was $7(12,307,329, against $273,671,668 in 1860. The 
assessed valuation in 1871 was $t.55,9<X),S00, and in 
1872, $390,454,87.'). The state tax levied in 1871 was 
$629,143, or 1.38 mills on the assessed value of 
real and personal estate, and in 1872, $765,292, or 
1.96 mills on the same. 



At the close of the fiscal year, September 30, 
1872, there was a cash balance in the treasury 
of $239,109. The receipts of the treasury during 
the same year amounted to $1.060,477"and the 
disbursements to $1,076,443. The ilisbursements 
comprised $337,595 for ordinary expenses, as 
salaries of state officers, legislative expenses. 
Supreme Court, Circuit Court, printing, sta- 
tionary, etc., and $738,848 for extraordinary 
expenses, as for state institutions, $4.58,708 ; in- 
terest of state debt, $160,032, and special appro- 
priations, $120,103. 

The debt of the state on September 30. 1872, 
was $2,252,057, of which $2,233,900 were for cer- 
tificates of indebtedness in trust for the school 
fund, university fund, normal school fund and 
agricultural college fund. 

Education, etc. — Wis. has made liberal pi'ovi- 
sions for elementary and higher educational 
institutions. The public schools are under iho 
supervision of a State Superintendent of Public 
Instruction and county and city superintend- 
ents. 

In 1872 the number of children over 4 and 
imder 20 years of age was 423,717, of whom 
266,789 attended public schools, and 15,618 pri-

government. A convention drafted a constitu- 
tion, which was approved by Congress, but

Sist of several chains, which cover a large re- 
gion E. of the Big Horn R., and the Black Hills 
(not to be confounded with the chain of tlie 
same name mentioned before) extend from 
Dak. Ter. into Wyo. Ter., and occupy a region 
Of more than 6,000 sq. mis., between the Xorth 
and South Forks of the Cheyenne R. Their 
mghest pks. attain an attitude of over 6,700 feet. 
Rivers and La];es.—\Yyo. is intersected by the 
great continental divide, here formed by the 
Rocky Mts. The N. E. part of it is drained by 
affluents of the Missouri R., as the Yellow Stone, 
Big Horn, Platte and others, and the S. W. part 
by the Green R., a branch of the Colorado of 
the West. 

The Yellow Stone R. issues from the Yellow 
btone Lake in the N. part of Uintah co., and 
traverses that famous region which has been 
made by act of Congress a National Park, to be 
kept forever in its natural state, with its stu- 
pendous canyons and waterfalls, geysers and 
volcanic springs, and to remain unoccupied by 
settlers. Wind River has its rise near Fre- 
mont s Pk.; flows S. E. for nearly 100 mis. along 
the eastern foothills of the Wind River Mts., 
and after receiving the Popo Agie, turns X. and 
passes along the base of the Big Horn Mts. 
under the name of Big Horn R. Grey Bull R 
and Bad Water Cr. are its principal alftuents in 
this territory. Po\vder R. rises in the Big Horn 
Mts., and with its tributaries Little Powder Cr., 
fealt Clear Fork and Crazv Woman's Fork 
drains a large portion of K. E. Wyo. 

The North and South Forks of the Shyenne 
R. intersect the E. part of the territory and 
dram the lofty group of the Black Hills with 
numerous small affluents. The North Platte R. 
enters Wyo. from the North Park of Colo. Ter 
flows N. N. W. to its junction with the Sweet 
Water R. and then turns gradually E. throuo-h 
the valley between the Rattlesnake Hills and 
the Black Hills, receiving Big and Little Lara- 
mie Rs. and other affluents. 

The Green R. rises in the Wind River Mts 
and flows S. into Utah Ter. It receives the Big 
Sandy R., Bitter Cr., Current Cr., Muddy Fork 
and Henry's Fork, beside numerous smaller 
affluents. West of the Wind River Mts. rise 
two branches of the Snake R., the Gros Ventres 
and .John Gray's Rs. 

Climate.— Tlxe climate of Wyo. is marked by 
great extremes, though on the whole mild ancl 
very salubrious. The mean annual temperature 
along the Rocky Mts. is about 3(i'=' and thence 
increases to 45° and 4G° in the eastern part 
and to 42° in the south-western. The winters 
are extreme, especially among the mountains, 
but the summers are warm and in the valleys 
hot. The amount of rain and snow falling dur- 
ing the year averages about 12 inches, and only 
in the extreme eastern portion it rises to 16 in- 
ches and over. 

The vegetation is scanty. Many of the moun- 
tain slopes and foothills produce bunch and 
bulTalo grasses, occasionally Avith scatterin" 
pine, spruce and aspen limber, while the hi-^her 
mountain flanks and the crests of the lower 
ranges are covered with pine, spruce and hem- 
lock forests. The trees often attain a large size 
and yield excellent lumber. 

Population.— yfjo. had, in 1S70, 9,118 inhabi 
tants, of whom 8,726 were white, 1S3 colored 143 
Chinese and 66 Indians. The Indian trilies living 
on reservations and agencies were estimated 
at 2,400 persons. 

The native population numbered 5,605 and the 
foreign population 3,513, inclusive of 329 natives 
of British America, 652 of Germany, 556 of Eno-- 
land, 1,102 of Ireland and 260 of Scotland. ° 
In all classes of occupations were eiWao-ed 
6,645 persons, of whom 165 were enga<'ed ina^ri 
culture, 3,170 in professional and personal ser- 
Tices, 1,646 in trade and transportation and 1 664 
m manufactures and mechanical and mining 
mdustries. ^ 



Minerals and joining.— uyte all the territories 
or states of the far west, Wvo. is rich in min- 
eral treasures. Gold mines have been opened 
near several stations of the Pacific R. R.,and 
new discoveries have been made in other sec- 
tions. Gulch mining for gold is also carried on 
with good success. 

Extensive coal fields exist, often in iuxtapo- 
sition with rich iron deposits. The large coal 
field which extends along the eastern base of 
the Rocky Mts. from Lodge Polo Cr. to the Ar- 
kansas R. in Colo. Ter., lies partlv within this 
territory. On Cooper Cr., W. of Laramie. B 
seam ot coal 9 feet thick has been opened, and 
there are others in the same locality of still 
greater thickness. Along the Union Pacific R. 
R. in the Western part of the territory numer- 
ous coal discoveries have been made, and if 
they should all belong to the same bed, the area 
underlaid by productive coal measures would 
be quite extensive and include the entire pla- 
teau ot Green R. 

Iron seems also to be very abundant. The 
valley of the Chug Water R. is rich in magnetic 
iron ore of superior quality, and other ores are 
known to exist in the Black Hill country. Gyp- 
sum, copper and lead occur in several locali- 
ties, but are not yet worked. 

Agriculture.— The aridity of tlie climate ren- 
ders irrigation indispensable in fanning, and as 
only the narrow valleys along the streams can 
bo irri";ated the area fit for farming is quito 
limited. 

n^^" W'^. there were 175 farms in the territory, 
164 of which had less than 10 acres. The faims 
included 33S acres of improved land, 35 acres of 
woodland and 3,968 acres of unimproved land, 
the cash value of farms was $18,187, and tho 
total, estimated, value of farm productions, in- 
!?.\'^4iJ?° improvements and additions to stock, 
•$42,760. According to the census the produc- 
tions were oats, 100 bush.; Irish pot's, 617 bush • 
wool, 30.000 lbs.; butter, 1,200 lbs.; and hay, 3 ISO 
tons. The live stock had a value of *441,7i)5, and 
included 584 horses, 283 mules and asses, 707 
?^,lln ^^°^^^' '^-^ working oxen, 9,501 other cattle, 
6,409 sheep and 146 swine. 

The 32 manutVicturing establishments pro- 
duced goods to the value of $765,424. They used 
13 steam-engines of 310 horse-power, and two 
water-wheels of 34 hoi-se-power. The number 
of hands employed was 502 ; the capital invest- 
ed amounted to $889,400 ; the wages paid to $347,- 
y'l?'.]?^}^^*',.,"^'^^^"^^^ consumed had a value 
ot $280,156. The principal products of industry, 
with their values, were sawed lumber, $158 GOO- 
railroad ties, $110,000 ; milled quartz, $76,600 -tin 
copper and sheet-iron ware, $10,320 ; and boots 
and shoes, $41,640. 

The Union Pacific R. R. intersects the south- 
ern part of Wyo. from E. to W., and has within 
tlie same a length of 470 mis. The Denver 
lacific, connecting Cheyenne with Denver, 
Colo. Ter., has been completed. 

Wealth and Taxation.— The assessed value of 
real estate was, in 1870, $863,66.5, and of personal 
estate $4.6.53 083. The true, or estimated, value 
ot both kinds of property, together, was $7,016,- 

748. 

The territorial taxes amounted to $6,163, and 
the county taxes to $28,308. 

Government.— The Governor and Secretary 
are appointed by the President of the United 
States for four years. The Legislative Assem- 
bly consistj! of a Council of nine members and 
j^^^^ouse of Representatives of tliirteen mera- 

The judicial power is vested in a Supreme 
Court, District Courts, Probate Courts and 
Justices of the Peace. The Supreme Court

Yellow" Stone, p. o. in La Fayette co., Wis. 

Yellow Stone River, a tributary of the up<- 
per Missouri R.; is the outlet of Yellow Stone 
Lake in N. W. Wyo. Ter. It flows first to the 
X., and after emerging from the Rocky Mts., 
turns to the E. and empties near Fort "Union. 
It is probably over 1,000 mis. long, and receives 
the Big Horn, or Wind, R., the Tongue R. and 
Powder Horn R. The region which surrounds 
the Yellow Stone Lake and the upper course 
of the river has been reserved from, settle- 
uaent or sale by act of Congress, and consti- 
tutes the famous Yellow Stone Park, measur- 
ing 55 by Go nils. In weird beauty and magni- 
flcent grandeur it doubtless surpasses any 
landscape on tl^ globe. It was in compar- 
tively recent times the scene of the most 
wonderful volcanic activity. From a thou- 
sand Assures were poured forth unlimited 
quantities of lava, fragments of rock and 
volcanic dust, and even now some 3 or 4 sq. 
mis. include hundreds of active hot springs 
and geysers, or the remains of springs which 
have Ceased to flow. The lake from which 
the I'cUow Stone R. issues, is about 20 nils, long 
and 15 mis. wide, and has a wild, irregular but 
beautiful shore line. Its area is about 300 sq. 
mis., its greatest depth 300 feet and its eleva- 
tion above the sea 7,t'27 feet. It lies upon the 
summit divide of the continent, and receives 
no tributaries, its waters coming solely from 
the snows of the lofty mountains that hem it 
in on every side. A short distance from this 
lake the river commences its passage through 
a series of rents and rifls in the solid crust of 
the earth, either falling over precipices or 
coursing through deep and gloomy canyons. 
At the mouth of Tower Cr. the Gre'at Cauj^on 
commences. Twenty mis. in length, it is im- 
passable throughout, and inaccessible at the 
•water's edge except at a few points. Its rug- 
ged edges are from 'JOO to 500 yards apart, and 
Its depth is so great that no sound ever reaches 
the ear from the bottom. Down, down, down, 
the river is seen attenuated to a thread, toss- 
ing and dashing against the massive walls 
which imprison it. Obstructed by miassive 
boulders and jutting points, it rushes madly 
on its solitary course. At the upper end of 
this canyon the river plunges down in two 
grand cataracts, known as the Upper and 
Lower Falls, ior some distance before it 



reaches the former the river breaks into 
rapids, and narrowed between the rocks as it 
approaches the brink, leaps in a sheet of snow- 
"white foam over a nearly perpendicular preci- 
pice about 140 feet high. The stream, which 
is about '200 feet wide between the falls, nar- 
rows again as it approaches the Lower Fall, 
and here plunges over a level shelf of rock 350 
feet high, in a compact, solid sheet. The can- 
yon here is 1,000 feet deep, its vertical sides 
rising darkly to shelving summits. 

The banks of the Yellow Stone abound 'with 
ravines and canyons which are cut through 
the hardest rocks. The most remarkable of 
these is the Canyon of Tower Creek and Col- 
umn Mt. The latter is composed of succes- 
sive pillars of basalt overlying a thick stra- 
tum of cement and gravel. The canyon of 
Tower Cr. is about 10 mis. in length, and is so 
deep and gloomy that it has been called the 
"Devil's Den." About 200 yards before it 
enters the Yellow Stone, the creek makes a 
perpendicular fall of 105 feet, whioh is sur- 
rounded with columns of volcanic breccia, 
soma resembling towers, others the spires of 
ch ui'clies,and sti U others the slender minarets 
of a mosque. Below the falls, the stream de- 
scends in numerous rapids with great velocity 
through a gloomy gorge, to its union with the 
main liver.

ITosemite Valley, in Mariposa co., Cal.; is 
one of the most remarkable wonders of the 
world. It is situated on the Merced R., 140 
mis. S. E. of San Francisco, but nearly 250 
mis. distant by any of the usually traveled 
routes. It consists of a narrow gorge 8 mis. 
long and from a half to a mile in width, and 
is inclosed in granite walls rising with per- 
pendicular faces and towering rocks from 3,000 
to 6,000 feet above the bottom. It was dis- 
covered in 1851 by Major I. D. Savage, while 
in pursuit of a band of predatory Indians. 
Approaching the valley from the Mountain- 



View House, the traveler, after a rough ride 
of 12 mis., reaches Inspiration Point, a little 
green plateau, some 20 feet sq., and raising 
his eyes to the E. beholds in one glance fiC 
whole Yosemite Valley, with its mountains, 
rocks, barren domes of gray granite, wata ■ 
falls and winding streams. "The descent iniv 
the valley is toilsome and takes about 3 hou "s. 
According to I. D. Whitney, of Howard Un 
versify, the Yosemite owes its existence to 
the subsidence of the ground. an(' ^ not, as 
some have asserted, a rent producer jy somo 
volcanic action, in which case the opposite 
walls would exhibit parallel face", the pro- 
jections of one side corresponding \j( "'ivitiea 
on the other. The bottom and th» uxlus or 
debris at the base of the rocks are covered 
with grass, shrubbery and trees. On every 
hand are seen the beautiful and ma.." colored 
"manganita" and "inadrona," and the co- 
lossal red-wood conifers, peculiar ti, the Paci- 
fic slope. 

The principal objects of interest in the val- 
ley are the following: El Capitan, a coios.sal 
I'ock with perpendicular sides, 3.300 ff>et high, 
standing near the W. end of the Yosemite. 
On the opposite side are the Cathedra' Rocks, 
2,600 feet high, and standing like isolated 
church spires, with the beautiful Bridal- Veil 
Falls, descending 910 feet into the va.-dy. The 
Virgin's Tears Cr. makes a fine fall, over 1,000 
feet high, in .a deep recess of the \ jcks near 
the lower corner of El Capitan. Farther up 
the valley is the group of rocks know. . as the 
Three Brothers, the highest of which is 4,00C 
feet high, and beyond these are thb Yosemite 
Falls, 2,631 feet, or about half a mile in height, 
consisting of three leaps of 1,600 feet, 434 feet 
and 600 feet, respectively. East of this won- 
derful cataract are the "Royal Arches, a vast, 
rocky wall with perpendicular sides. On the 
southside of the valley, and beyond the Cath- 
edral Rocks, is tlie Sentinel Rock, near which 
looms up the gigantic Sentinel Dome. Farther 
to the E. the Yosemte divides into two val- 
leys, the northern of which is traversed by 
Tenaya Cr., which expands near the Half 
Dome, the loftiest and most imposing moun- 
tain in the whole vallej', being 6,000 feet high, 
into the Mirror Lake, a small but exceedingly 
picturesque body of clear water : while the 
southern, or the Little Yosemite Valley, is 
rendered attractive by the Vernal Falls, and 
higher np by the Nevada Falls, which are 
both formed by the Merced R. 

By an act of Congress, the Yosemite Valley 
and the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees were 
granted to the state of Cal. upon the condi- 
tion that they should he kept as public lands, 
inalienable for all time.

APPENDIX NO. 2. 



•Albany, city, CO. seat of Albany co. and capi- 
tal of the stale of New York ; is situated on 
the W. bank of the Hudson R., 14i^ mis. N. of 
New York city. The site is a narrow plain 
along the river, backed by rapidly rising 
ground, parts of which overlook the river at 
a height of im to 3J0 feet. The plan is irregu- 
lar, but some of the streets are very hand- 
some, and in general the buiklings are sub- 
stantial and commodious. Some of the struc- 
tures are quite imposing, the most notable of 
■which are the State Capitol, facing the square 
at the end of State street ; the State Hall, a 
marble ediflce devoted to departments of state; 
the City Hall, also of marble ; the State Nor- 
mal School, Dudley Astronomical Observa- 
tory, Albany Medical College, the Albany Uni- 
versity, and several academical and librarj' 
buildings. The State Library has a collection 
of nearly 100,000 volumes, and the records and 
collections at the State Agricultural Kooms 
are very numerous and valuable. The school 
buildings are neat, and ample for the accom- 
modation of the 10,737 children of school age. 
The church architecture of the city is ot a 
very high order, and the cathedral is regarded 
as one of the finest in the United States. 

Albany is an important manufacturing cen- 
ter. In 1^10 the city and county had 721 man- 
ufacturing establishments, employing 0,103 
horse-power, 14,495 hands, a capital of $16,031,- 
2(5S ; consuming $13,439,705 worth of material, 
and turning out products of the value of $24,- 
7S5,921. The principal articles of manufacture, 
withtlieiv value, wei'e cotton goods, $4,08(5,734 ; 
stoves, beaters, eto., $3,'2i(;,43i; hosiery, $2.47(5,- 
226 ; liquors, $1,259,745 ; boots and shoes, $9^7,- 
6151 ; cars, $535,014; flour, etc., $396,717 ; wrought 
iron and castings, $941,512 ; lumber planed and 
sawed, $.538,600 ; malt, $457,200 ; paper, $442,000 ; 
printing and newspapers, $562,900 ; woollen 
goods, $473,430. 

The city is enviably situated for commerce, 
being at the head of heavy navigation on the 
Hudson R., in direct steamboat communi- 
cation with New York, by canal and river 
in ■water communication -with Lake Cham- 
plain, and by Erie Canal with the great lakes 
of the North-west. It is also at N. terminus 
of Hudson River R. R., at N. E. terminus of 
Albany & Susquehanna R. R., at E. terminus 
of New York Central R. R., at W. terminus 
of Boston & Albany R. R. and at S. terminus 
of Renssalaer & iiaratoga R. R. It has long 
ranked as among the leading lumber marts 
of the country. 

Albany was named in honor of James II., 
Duke of York and Albany, in 1664, and ■was 
chartered as a city in 1686. Its population in 
1810, ■(vas 0,356; lS-20, 12,630; 1830, 24.238; 1840; 
33.7-21; 1850, 50,763; IS60, 62,367; 1870, 69,4-22, 
of whom 47,215 -were natives of the United 
States and 22,207 were foreign born. Of these 
194 ■^'ere engaged in agriculture, 7,464 in pro- 
fessional and personal services, 4,343 in trade 
and transportation, and 9,375 in manufactures. 
The total population constituted 14,105 fami- 
lies of 4.92 persons each, who lived in 8,748 
dwellings, an avei-age of 7.94 persons to a 
dwelling. 

Nineteen newspapers and periodicals are 
published in the city, of which the " Journal," 
"Times," "Argus," "Express," "Freie 



Blaetter," "Herald," "Knickerbocker," 
"Post" and "Country Gentleman," are the 
principal dailies and -weeklies.

^Buffalo, (lat. 42° 53', long. 78° 55') city, port of 
entry (Buffalo Cr.) and the co. seat of Erie co., 
N. Y., is situated on a cupacious, easily acces- 
sible, and safe harbor, formed by the estuary- 
of ButTalo Cr., at the E. extremity of Lake 
Erie, and at the head of Niagara R., also 441?^ 
mis. via Albany, and 432i^mls. via Corning, N. 
W. of New York city: 297 mis. W. of Albany, 
23 mis. S. of Niagara Falls, 275 mis. E. of De- 
troit and 268 mis. N. of Pittsburgh, Pa. Its site 
is a plain, gently rising into a plateau of some 
50 feet elevation, commanding a fine view of 
the lake and Canada shore. The plan of the 
streets is mainly rectangular. They are wide, 
firmly laid, frequently fringed with shade 
trees, and built up with beautiful dwellings 
and commanding business and public struc- 
tures. The city possesses an air of neatness 
and grandeur seldom found in this country. 
Main street (120 feet ■wide) is the principal 
thoroughfare. The plateau, or upper portion, 
is mainly devoted to residence, while the 
lower portions are given to manufacturing 
interests and to coivnierce. The city is not 
more noted for its elegant private than for 
its substantial business and palatial public 
structures. Among the latter are the City 
Hall, the United States Custom House, Peni- 
tentiary, Post-office, Court House, State Arse- 
nal, City Hospital, Erie Countv Savings Bank 
and otlier banks, Providence Insane Asylum 
(Catholic), St. Mary's Deaf INIute Asylum, 
State Insane Asylum, which will have a front, 
■when completed, of 2,700 feet, the largest iu 
the United States, if not in the world, ■with r 
park and grounds of 208 acres ; Buffalo Or- 
phans' Asylum, St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum, 
Hospital of Sisters of Charity, etc. It is the 
seat of Buffalo University and Medical School, 
the Grosvenor Liljrary, a State Normal School 
and several -well-stored libraries. The Young 
Men's Association have large buildings, a 
choice reading room and a librarj' of 25,000, 
and St. James Hall, a splendid audience 
room. The city is very rich in church archi- 
tecture, its two cathedrals (St. Joseph's and 
St. Paul's), St. John, St. Louis, Calvary, North, 
Westminster, Asburyand Riverside church- 
es, and Church of the Messiah and Cliurch of 
the Holy Angels, rank among the finest speci- 
cimens of architectural beauty. Here are 
several handsome squares and parks, which 
add to the comfort and cheerfulness of the 
place. Their entire acreage is 530. The city 
IS a delightful summer resort, enjoying per- 
petual breezes. The death rate in 1872 hardly 
reached 14 to each 1,000 population. 

The manufacturing interests of Buffalo have 
grown very rapidly, and in this respect it is 
surpassed by few cities in the Union. They 
aggregate a value of (1870) $28,000,000 ; the prin- 
cipal of -which are agricultural implements, 
$499,305 ; boots and shoes, $696,010 ; cheese, $715,- 
219; men's clothing, $1,328,235 ; flour and meal, 
$1,931,932; iron blooms, ^50,000; forged and 
rolled iron, $2,062,865 ; pig iron, $375,100 ; cast- 
ings, $1,264,250 ; leather, $901,412 ; dressed skins, 
$599,390; distUled liquors, $1,177,920; malt

The commercial facilities of the city ai-e 
very great. Its position is that of an entre- 
pot for the commerce passing eastward, 
and a shipping point for that passing west- 
ward. Its harbor has been greatly improved 
by the judicious expenditure of large sums of 
money, and it presents during the season of 
navigation a scene of as much activity as 
some of the busiest Atlantic ports. Here are 
ample wharves, docks, ship-building and re- 
pair yards, and a system of grain elevators 
the gi-eatest in capacity and power found on 
the lakes. During 1S73, 9,959 vessels, tonnage 
4,S8(),733, entered and cleared at the port of 
Buffalo. The total tonnage of the district 
(Buffalo Cr.) was 1.53,238, viz: 38,547 sail, 7,484 
. iron steamers, 4-2,099 steam vessels of all kinds, 
3,0G5 barges, and 61,440 canal boats. There 
were 31 elevators in 1873, with a storage capa- 
city of 7,215,000 bush., and a transfer capacity 
of 2,715,000 bush, every 24 hours. The quantity 
of grain received from the West, was 104,000,- 
000 bush., including flour reduced to wheat 
bushels. The cattle yards cover 50 acres, at 
w>hich live stock to the value of $.30,000,000 was 
received. 

The facilities of the city for inland com- 
merce are commensurate with those by the 
lake. It is at the W. terminus of the Erie 
Canal (completed 1824), the great water tho- 
roughfare of the state, also at W. terminus 
of Xew York Central R. R., at X. E. terminus 
of Lake Shore R. R., at N. terminus of Buffalo, 
New York & Philadelphia R. R., at N. W. ter- 
minus of Northwest Division of Erie R. R., 
and at S. terminus of Niagara Falls Branch 
of Erie R. R. It is thus brought into contact 
with all the marts of the East, West and 
South, and is made neighbor to the great 
coal fields of Pennsylvania, receiving in 
1873, 1,237,708 tons of coal, and shipping 038,653 
tons.

*Elinira, city in Chemung co., N. Y., and the 
CO. seat, is situated on Cheniung R., at the 
mouth of Newtown Cr., 274 mis. by rail W. by

chester, 148 mis. (via Hornellsville) S. E. of 
Buffalo, and 78 mis. N. of Williarasport, Pa. 
The city Is picturesquely located, is hand- 
somely laid out, and contains many fine 
private residences, business structures and 

ijublic edifices. Among the latter are the 
female College and other educational insti- 
tutions, the Court House, and imposing 
chui-ches. The growth of the city in manu- 
facturing and commercial importance has 
been rapid, and these interests are largely 
enhanced by its situation on the Erie R. R., 
the Northern Central R. R. and at the com- 
mercial N. terminus of Lehigh Valley R. R. 
It is thus the pivotal point for the anthracite 
coal trade northward, and for the thronged
